The Three-Body Problem by Cixin Liu
I was not as wowed by this as others. Perhaps because I don’t read a lot of science fiction or find complex science hurts my head.
Shaming the Devil by Alan Jacobs
The essays read not as lectures but as conversations exploring interesting topics with a very well read friend.
Frozen Dreams by Moe Lane
A fun, fast-paced mash-up of classic detective fiction and urban fantasy with a dash of dystopia.
The Captain and the Glory by Dave Eggers
I get that it is hard to make satire of our current situation but isn’t that what talented writers are supposed to offer?
Between Two Scorpions by Jim Geraghty
Lots of action, political intrigue, international travel and culture and good-natured humor/banter between the husband and wife team.
Jonah Goldberg on the Tyranny of Feelings
We’re creating a worldview that other peoples’ feelings are sovereign. The intentions of the offender do not matter, only the feelings of the offended.
Book Review: Of Vengeance by J.D. Kurtness
“A chilling justification of a life of violence, as nonchalant as it is grim.” My take? What a weird little book…
The Shape of Water by Andrea Camilleri
I think this is the sort of book you have to be in the mood for. The humor just didn’t resonate with me and none of the characters really struck me.
