A collection of essays. I love Novala's essays, but I still prefer his novels. But the essays are super fun for light reading here and there when you want to read something and finish it and not be glued to it for days. I have a lot of essay books I read this way, and it takes me years to finally read through a whole book, because each time I want to read one, I pick up a different book. XD
