Sammy's World

Mobile users beware sorry :( My name is Sam, I am 17M and in my final year of school !! Not sure what degree I shall do afterwards. Maths or science or maybe engineering or perchance comp sci. This is a little side project to learn HTML and for funnsies. I love the community aspect here, it's like Tumblr on crack :p This is my Tumblr account!

I love to read, here's one of my favourite books-- I read it back when I was around 14 and it completely changed my taste in novels from YA and dystopian to classics (there were a couple more stepping stones before I got into classics fully but Tartt was definitely the beginning)

My favourite books as so far

• The Picture of Dorian Grey - Oscar Wilde
• A Little Life - Hanya Yanagihara
• The Secret History - Donna Tartt
• If We Were Villains - M.L Rio
• The Three Body Problem - Liu Cixin
• The Hitchhiker's Guide to The Galaxy - Douglas Adams
• Metamorphosis - Franz Kafka
• The Three Brothers Karamazov - Fyodor Dostoevsky
• No Longer Human - Dazai Osamu
• The Lorien Legacies - Pittacus Lore
• The Inheritence Cycle - Christopher Paolini

  Here is the only quote I can remember off the top of my head !!
  
  "Does such a thing as 'the fatal flaw,' 
  That showy dark crack running down the middle of a life, 
  Exist outside literature? 
  I used to think it didn't. 
  Now I think it does. 
  And I think that mine is this: 
  
  A morbid longing for the picturesque at all costs."
  - Donna Tartt, The Secret History
