The narrative voice alternates between that of middle-aged Reginald, an electrician who appears to be quas Read more of this blog post »

| This sci-fi fantasy focuses on a mixed population of animal selves and the remnants of a group of human visitors, endlessly warring and sometimes beset by plagues of mindlessness. (Very zombie-like, but The Walking Dead is one of my favorite TV shows ...more | |

| This remarkable autobiography of a (short) man reveals Professor Reich's mark on all our lives. I was particularly impressed by his forthright discussion of the lapse from a worker-supportive government to a capital-dominated enterprise focused on Wa ...more | |
"This was my Mother’s Day gift from my cat. It’s a fun little book with some amusing stories and occasional piece of helpful cat advice but it’s got about a quarter of the content a book its length needs to stay interesting throughout. "

of
The Monsters Among Us (The Abyss Borne Gods Book 1):

| This novel was so heavily hyped that I was keen to read it, and I enjoyed the historical ambiance, the setting, and the menace of the narrative. I assumed the action would lead to conclusive wisdom about the effects of malicious gossip on vulnerable ...more | |
