I, Robot

Isaac Asimov’s book is one of those that you must read at some point in your life. First, because of his storytelling abilitiy. Then, because the time of machines is upon us. To some readers this collection of nine short stories may seem like just that — another collection of stories. It’s so much more [...]

The God Delusion

I originally picked up Richard Dawkins’ book because it has gained quite a bit of popularity, which comes mostly from athiest circles. It seemed interesting enough though. Before I go on with a review, I must give a little bit of my religious background. I grew up in a protestant Christian family. I have a [...]

A Life-Changing Bookshelf

I decided to do a little cleaning today. Maybe I should’ve been studying, but this is still progress. And, any progress for me is good progress. For the most part, I only reorganized my bookshelf, as you can see here. I’ve actually had my books alphabetized for at least two months, maybe longer. My sister [...]

Since I’ve just come off a streak of reading nonfiction books about genetic engineering, Patterson’s pageturner was a relief. Max, [...]

Wuthering Heights

Emily Brontë may have just changed my mind on this whole Realism genre. I was scared away a little by Jane Austen’s Emma, but now I’m enjoying this era of literary work. This is a story about love. A love that is so strong, so intense, that it transcends life and death. It goes beyond [...]

Citizen Cyborg

Anyone who’s kept up with some of my book reviews knows that I’ve been reading about biological enhancement and what the future holds for the human race. When I first saw the title of James Hughes’ book, I immediately thought I would read about further proof that we are on the brink of a biological uplifting of our society—a social change so vast that the world as we know it will be redefined.

Brontë & The Tiger Cubs

I honestly do not have enough hours in the day. I still have two chapters left to read in my QuarkXpress training book for Editing & Design. I simply don’t have time to read them. Well, I guess I could be reading them now. But, if I wasn’t typing right now, I’d be sleeping. I [...]
