So something a little out of the ordinary is going to happen on the site today. Because it just so happened that I experienced two pieces of media in the last two weeks that were incredibly similar, even being identical in some aspects. I didn’t plan on it, […]
It’s that time again folks, time to check in on our favorite wizard/detective Harry Dresden. I talked about the fourth entry in the wonderful Dresden Files series a while back, and I took a bit of a break to pick up the fifth book, figuring that some variety […]
I’ve lately been having a weird obsession with murder and true crime. I’m not really sure what spurred it on, but it seems like all at the same time I started listening to the “My Favorite Murder” podcast (which is wonderful), started watching that crazy OJ Simpsons: […]
Here’s a shocking statement. I love movies. A lot. It’s a passion I’ve always had, and that’s really took off in the last few years. I’ve discussed before that a significant part of my childhood was sitting around watching random movies that my grandparents essentially pirated, and […]
I’ve mentioned before that I’m a huge fan of history. And that passion has only been growing lately as I’ve been dealing with a pretty strong obsession with the spectacular soundtrack to the Broadway smash Hamilton. Thanks to Hamilton I’ve gotten a whole lot more history books loaded […]

It’s been a while since I’ve had an article up about a book. I had two Film Library articles in a row, and while those are also about books, the articles are more about how the book was adapted into the movie. And after checking out Price […]
I really love history. I think it’s because I love stories, and consider myself an attempted storyteller, and history s just stories. That’s all it really is. You can bury yourself in historical documents and biographies, but in the end, its all stories. Unless we lived it, we […]
Well I just read a very odd little book. So one of my favorite podcasts I listen to is the Flophouse podcast. And no, this isn’t another book based on a popular podcast. The Flophouse is great, and one of the many podcasts that’s about bad movies. It’s […]
Traditional fantasy can be kind of a bore to me. I feel like J.R.R. Tolkien and C.S. Lewis have kind of nailed that traditional fantasy genre, so if you’re going to add to it, you’d better be doing something interesting with the format. I can’t imagine anyone is […]
