Exadelic

The world’s most powerful artificial intelligence machine has decided you are a threat and is targeting you. From there, anything goes. I’d give this a 3 out of 5 stars because 3/4 through and the novel has lost it’s way diving into computer science and black

The Book Finds You

The Book Finds You

“If you only read the books that everyone else is reading, you can only think what everyone else is thinking.” — Haruki Murakami Picture yourself walking through the halls and shelves of a vast library. Among the endless rows of books, one catches your eye. You reach out, and as your

The End.

S.

My tsundoku keeps multiplying and I won't apologize for this self-infliction. I saw this beautiful novel titled S. in a bookstore recently and decided I had to have it knowing very little about this other than it was sealed in plastic, but well designed. I was not disappointed.

Too Much Input

My appetite for well-written novels and articles in genres and on topics that I’m interested in, and the availability of all of those, are more than the time I have to read it. I am already staring up at the tower of books now. Regarding Reading1. I will make

Kobo

Yes! The new e-reader is here and by the looks of it, everything I wanted. I purchased a book from the Kobo bookstore that has been on hold at the library for 27 weeks (half a year!) and got it for 50% cheaper than Amazon. In case you are wondering

iBook

For those of us who are embedded inside the Apple hardware and ecosystem, we are past due for a dedicated e-reader with an Apple logo on it. Look, I enjoy my Amazon Kindle and think it is a fantastic device, but I detest having an Amazon account and giving them

2024 Reading Goals

2024 Reading Goals

Every year I set goals on how many books I want to read in a year and end up exceeding them. In the upcoming 2024 new year, I am going to slow the pace down to savor and appreciate what I am reading. The titles are already chosen with a
