As a fiction writer, Ehmbee Way centers on character-driven, upmarket literature with a psychological focus. More specifically, he tends to focus on distorted perceptions, mental health, cognitive dissonance and the search for purpose.

As a poet, he's fond of both traditional and contemporary styles. Through an emotional and often philosophical lens, his work often addresses--among other topics--death, spirituality, mind control, counterculture, love, purpose, regret, maturation, mental illness and the inescapable grasp of time.

The Best American Science Fiction and Fantasy 2024 by Hugh Howey

Full disclosure: I don't typically read a lot of modern Sci-Fi or Fantasy--especially if it's in short form--but, to my surprise, I found this particular collection hard to put down; in fact, I'd rate more than half of the stories here as either A or ...more

Confucius by Hourly History
Rate this book
Clear rating
This book was far too sparse. It’s so short, in fact, that I don’t even know if it’s fair to call it a book. It’s more like an authorless pamphlet. Or maybe a term paper. It’s a good start, I guess, but it ultimately left me wanting much, much more.

It’s been weeks since I finished The Trial by Kafka and, if I’m being honest, I still don’t really know what to write about it. Of course I’ve developed several strong emotions toward the book but, as far as examining “the message” is concerned, I ca ...more

Rate this book
Clear rating
In the beginning of The Case for Christ, Lee Strobel asks us to be jurors—to remove any and all of our biases and to absorb the evidence being presented with an open mind. That’s a perfectly reasonable premise; the problem, however, is that he only e ...more

The Last Outlaws by Tom Clavin

Halfway through, I finally found myself enjoying the book; nevertheless, it took me a long while to get used to the author’s bizarre style of prose. One reason for this is because Clavin uses a lot of seemingly counterintuitive sentence structure cho ...more

A Brief History of Thought by Luc Ferry
Rate this book
Clear rating
A Brief History of Thought is certainly a well-reasoned and articulate book but I was kind of disappointed by how many philosophers were barely mentioned, if at all. I understand, of course, that Nietzsche is going to take more space than, say, Bertr ...more

This collection from Tolstoy contains seven "short" stories--though at least two of them are more like novellas. I really wanted to give this book a five star review because I found five of the seven stories to be absolutely brilliant. The Raid and T ...more
