I have never written about a movie before. Who knows if I’ll ever write another. The funny thing is I read more movie reviews than I do book reviews. Robert Ebert is my go-to movie critic. I love the way he simply and masterfully writes movie reviews. Anyway, today I will be discussing the film …
I’ve been reading a lot more science fiction lately. My goal is to read more of the “classics” of Science Fiction. Last month, I read Dune for the first time and was blown away (I uploaded a review of Dune on YouTube). After Dune, and two of its sequels, I decided to seek out more …
I just finished reading a great book called The Gods Themselves. Isaac Asimov dedicates The Gods Themselves to mankind, and to the hope that the war against folly may someday be won after all.

Thanks, Obama: My Hopey, Changey White House Years, is David Litt’s memoir of his time in the White House. Litt, like most of Obama’s staff, was only in his …
Salt Sugar Fat is a book by Micheal Moss that looks at how the food industry has used three simple ingredients to manipulate the way we eat. It is an engaging book that dives deep into the history of salt, sugar, and fat. In many ways, the story of this book is about trade-offs. Americans …
Kurt Vonnegut is one of my all-time favorite authors. His books left a lasting impression on me as a youth when I began reading his books. I still read a couple of Vonnegut’s books every year. As I became more interested in collecting books, specifically leather-bound books, I wanted to have leather-bound copies of Vonnegut’s …
