What O.K. is about:
Everything is Oll Korrect! is largely a personal blog where I share my impressions on the books I read, particularly literature and philosophy, along with the odd film, video game, or whatever else. I also have occasional reflections on fiction or media in general, and the rare personal anecdote.
My primary goal is to encourage myself to engage more deeply with what I read, and by sharing my thoughts and reflections, I hope to encourage you, the reader, to do similarly. If I’ve helped anyone to read more and better books, I’ve succeeded.
The most recent posts are:
- A long review of the musical Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street
- A review of both Washington Irving and Disney’s versions of “The Legend of Sleepy Hollow”
- Another part of the 100 Poems series, Thomas Carew’s “Mediocrity in Love Rejected”
- A review of The Cambridge Companion to Children’s Literature'
- A new addition to the 100 Poems series, Gerard Manley Hopkins, “The Windhover”
- A review of Treasury of Children’s Poetry, edited by Alison Sage
Note that I’ve recently migrated this site from WordPress to Hugo, a static site generator, and it is still under some construction. Currently, everything at the Highlights and Review Index has been edited and republished, as have most of the various non-indexed odds-and-ends posts. If you notice anything broken or missing, though, feel free to let me know.
A Little About the Author:
I avoid using this blog as a mere personal diary, so knowing much about me shouldn’t be terribly important. For the curious, though, my name is Richard Carroll, though online I typically use the handle Cheshire_Ocelot. I was born near the end of the Reagan Administration, and I’ve lived my entire life in the American South, currently in Texas.

When I update:
I review things as I finish them, meaning there’s currently no specific update schedule. I do announce new posts on my Fediverse and Twitter accounts.
