I, Robot

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 though.
The major [...]

Post-Graduation Week

I graduated last week — Thursday, May 10. It was one of the most boring experiences of my life. I don’t even remember half the ceremony. I may have fell asleep a few times. I happened not to sleep the night before. I was just so wired. But, when that old [...]

The God Delusion

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 [...]

The World Is Flat

The World Is Flat

I started reading Thomas L. Friedman’s book sometime in late December or early January. It was a bit of a long book. Well, I read a lot of other things since then and now. But, I’m finally finished and am astounded. The book has opened my eyes to the situation America [...]

A Life-Changing Bookshelf

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. [...]

Maximum Ride: School’s Out — Forever

Maximum Ride: School’s Out — Forever

It’s hard not to like James Patterson’s easy-to-read, fast-paced Maximum Ride series. He keeps the chapters short, and you find yourself turning the pages at a fast rate, keeping in line with the novel’s pace.
Since I’ve just come off a streak of reading nonfiction books about genetic engineering, Patterson’s pageturner was a relief.
Max, Fang, Iggy, [...]

Books In Bed Is Ready

I’ve finally finished the site. This was something I was supposed to do about three months ago. Just click the link above and join the community. Well, join me because there is no community yet.

Wuthering Heights

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 [...]

Citizen Cyborg

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 [...]
