The Invincible by Stanisław Lem

I had heard a lot about the author on Reddit. He writes really alien aliens, not people in costumes with their own languages. The writing is similar to Arthur C. Clarke’s in its matter of fact, passionless tone and seemingly plausible, detailed scien ...more

An amazing story with personal accounts that add depth and humanity. I particularly enjoyed accounts from the North Vietnamese. On the negative side, military accounts can be tough to decipher, and some of the writing seemed to follow a formula of ho ...more

Growing Up Amish by Ira Wagler

Exactly why I like a good memoir. There aren’t always straight lines between two points. Sometimes the route is more like a bowl of spaghetti. Lots of insight and interesting info on Amish life. Also really well portrayed contrast between the pharisa ...more

Great action and detail as you’d expect from Tom Clancy. Very relatable characters and tension. And great moral questions on the place of peace and violence in society. A fun read.

A fun and informative look at history as it connects to cod. You learn a lot from this book and not just about cod. So it’s not simply a history of cod, but that’s the thread you follow. Reading it you’ll learn about Catholicism, the Basques, Iceland ...more

Orson Scott Card
“When you really know somebody you can’t hate them. Or maybe it’s just that you can’t really know them until you stop hating them.”
Orson Scott Card, Speaker for the Dead

Charles Dickens
“Annual income twenty pounds, annual expenditure nineteen nineteen and six , result happiness.
Annual income twenty pounds, annual expenditure twenty pounds ought and six, result misery”
Charles Dickens, David Copperfield

C.S. Lewis
“It would seem that Our Lord finds our desires not too strong, but too weak. We are half-hearted creatures, fooling about with drink and sex and ambition when infinite joy is offered us, like an ignorant child who wants to go on making mud pies in a slum because he cannot imagine what is meant by the offer of a holiday at the sea. We are far too easily pleased.”
C.S. Lewis, The Weight of Glory, and Other Addresses

Mehrsa Baradaran
“In fact, the average unbanked family with an annual income of around $25,000 spends about $2,400 per year, almost 10 percent of its income, on financial transactions.”
Mehrsa Baradaran, How the Other Half Banks: Exclusion, Exploitation, and the Threat to Democracy
