I used to be a gamer. Well, I don’t know if you’d go so far as to call me a Gamer , but I played many games. I owned many consoles through the Xbox 360. I played countless mobile games and games on the computer. But that fell off once I...
March was a rough month for me. I hurt my knee, and I’m still dealing with that. But the upside of being in pain is that my reading slump is over! Yay!? I read a bunch, but didn’t really get started until the end of the month. I also...
My reading slump continues, but I’ve read some stuff. Credit goes to Joel who does these monthly wrap-up things. I aspire to track my habits just as much, so this is a beginning. Reading Neural Wraith by KD Robertson – 47% done. I am...
I finished Ready Player One well over a week ago. I raved about it, said it was the best book I’ve ever read, and then I’ve proceeded to read nothing at all since then. This is a problem that I’ve had for years. The more I like a book,...

This week I’m actually in the middle of a book when writing. I’m about 52% of the way through Good Intentions by Elliot Kay. In the last six months, I’ve found myself embroiled in what the book world calls “fantasy harem”, but is really...
I didn’t have a good reading year. Normally, I read about 50 books and re-read another 30–40. This year, I read about half that. I had several slumps this year when I just couldn’t get interested in anything. I’d either go read fan...
I finally finished Mistborn. As I talked about in my rant back in October, I knew I was going to have a very hard time getting through it because so much of it was just bad. And I was right. It’s the end of December right now, and I just...
I am a late comer when it comes to Brandon Sanderson. The only book of his that I’ve read from start to finish is Tress of the Emerald Sea. That was a great book, and it sparked my interest enough to try to really get into Sanderson’s...
Isn’t a crime to post your first blog post and not use Hello World as the title. If not, it probably should be. After many attempts, I have decided to use WordPress as my blog hosting platform. I did this for two reasons: first, I’m...
