Exploring What Captivates, Inspires, and Intrigues.
Words of Radiance by Brandon Sanderson “Honor is dead. But I'll see what I can do.” This one is long overdue. I have not posted a review in a while and why not come back with a bang and talk about my favorite read of 2016. The Stormlight Archive series was hands down my best…
The Martian by Andy Weir This one has been really popular the past couple years since it was released and due to all the hype of the movie. When I saw that they were making the movie I decided it was time to jump on the bandwagon and pick up a copy before the movie…
I Am Pilgrim by Terry Hayes I just want to take the time to mention that my reviews don't follow the normal patterns and standards that most people use. I don't like rating a book out of a certain score or using any stars. Honestly, I enjoy most of the books I read. I am…
East of Eden by John Steinbeck Many of you have probably already read this one or have at least heard of it. I always see this book referenced in many "What is your favorite book?" discussions. That was enough to sell me on giving it a try. I like to try and change my reading…
The Art of War by Sun Tzu I picked up the Barnes and Noble collector's edition of The Art of War free of charge, all thanks to the ebook settlement. I love how the cover and pages are gilded. It makes it very pretty to look at and can sit on a shelf well. You…
Shift by Hugh Howey This was my most recent read. I must admit off the bat though, I did enjoy the first collection Wool better. That does not mean that Shift is bad in any way. Wool just grips you in a way that any good first novel in a series does with it's fantastic world.…
The King of Torts by John Grisham I closed my eyes and imagined what it would be like. I had a mansion, that private jet, and enough money to get anything I wanted. These are the feelings I felt during this reading. The King of Torts is your standard legal thriller by John Grisham. It's…
Breakfast of Champions by Kurt Vonnegut This was a weird read. “He had a penis eight hundred miles long and two hundred and ten miles in diameter, but practically all of it was in the fourth dimension.” To preface, I did not know anything about this story before jumping into it. I try to mix…
The Name of the Wind by Patrick Rothfuss The Name of the Wind hits hard. This novel is amazing and is definitely the best book I have read all year. (Aside from Book two in the series The Wise Man's Fear) “Words are pale shadows of forgotten names. As names have power, words have power. Words…
