A friend at my gym recommended the book to me. I went through it once; took notes. While on a hike, I started jotting how the book applies to me......
We Used to Live Here
I think it was some thread on Reddit which got me to check out this book. The classic "young couple moves to an old, eerie house" trope starts well, however...
Adult children of emotionally immature parents
If somebody asks me one book to read, I answer with this one. I wish I had read it a decade ago. All of us know, or will know emotionally...
Altered Carbon. Vol. 1
I LOVED Altered Carbon. It's a neonoir with a lot going on philisophically. The core underpinning of the world of the book is that humanity has escaped death by loading...
American Rapture

Astrophysics for People in a Hurry

The Big Sleep
I was on this noir / mystery kick which probably began with James Ellroy when I went back to the archetype. Raymond Chandler is one of my favorite authors. His...

Ink Black Heart
I LOVED The Ink Black Heart! Rowling took the mob mentality and anonymity afforded everyone online and made a mystery that kept me hooked throughout. Of course, she still has...
It
Like Pet Sematary, It taps into fears we all have shared since childhood : the dark spaces, the nebulus borderland between what is real and what is imagined... It's coming...

On Writing
Part memoir, part howto guide for writers. On Writing is a short, wonderful read. The first half or so is very much about his journey to becoming a fulltime author....
Pet Sematary
Of Stephen King's horror novels, this one is probably my favorite. I first read Pet Sematary before I was a dad, and it's eerie environment, the sematary seemingly out of...

SciFi + Fantasy / Adventure + Romance + Coming of Age with 80s Nostalgia and Technology Geekery! LOVED Ready Player One! I haven't watched the movie; sometime, I'll get to...
Rebecca
Rebecca is a classic gothic horror. I will confess, what actually got me to read it was it being an inspiration for Captain Janeway's holodeck escapism in "Star Trek :...
The Shining
There's a reason this is oftconsidered King's best horror. No cinematic adaptation holds a candle to the book.
Leonardo da Vinci
Spoiler : he dies in the end. That was what I told my friend, Nicole, after I finished the book, I think that was Thanksgiving two falls past. I cried...
