Novels, Announcements, and Manhood. December 26, 2013. This is the front. First, you’re probably hoping for an update about something I’ve written. Is pretty much finished. It’s all written. It’s all edited. Except for a few typos, the book is done. It even has a tentative cover (right), and a map, too (below). It has not, however, been published. I’m a map! I know, I know, it’s terribly frustrating, watching me work. “When will it be finished? 8221; you ask, “When can I read it? Be result in certain con...

Solo’s Eleven | Versor Books

January 11, 2015. My rating: 4 of 5 stars. Before I say anything spoiler-y, I want to point this out for everyone who might be interested in this book: everything makes a lot more sense if you’ve read A. C. Crispin’s “Han Solo” trilogy (which itself makes more sense if you’ve read Brian Daley’s “Han Solo Adventures” trilogy, but that’s far enough removed from this that it isn’t necessary). It’s not. But it is helpful, especially in light of the Han-and-Lando dynamic that comes up frequently. Perhaps the ...

The Swiss Family Robinson v. the Lord of the Flies. July 7, 2015. Island of the Lost: Shipwrecked at the Edge of the World. My rating: 5 of 5 stars.

The Invisible Man: Classic, Yet Antagonistic. December 30, 2011. My rating: 3 of 5 stars. The Time Machine and the Future of Human Endeavor. October 10, 2011. My rating: 4 of 5 stars. H G Wells was clearly a master of the genre. “The Time Machine” works through both science and sociology, examining the dangers of aristocracy and Marxism in a thought experiment on the distant future of 802,701 AD. 8212; One of the best philosophy, philology, society, and theology ‘blogs around.

Improving Habits (Most of the Time). May 23, 2016. Better Than Before: Mastering the Habits of Our Everyday Lives. My rating: 3 of 5 stars. The short version: this book has good research and good ideas, but imperfect execution. I also think, however, that this book will be most. Having said that, I may very well be more than a couple standard deviations from the norm, so perhaps only a few others will have this problem. Trilogy (a series, if you’re unfamiliar with it, designed explicitly as an athe...

April 1, 2015. Boundaries: When to Say Yes, How to Say No, to Take Control of Your Life. My rating: 3 of 5 stars. My wife asked me to read this book, so that she could get my insights on it. I ended up liking the book; I think that it includes valuable information about taking ownership of your own life and divesting yourself of the notion that you can control others, or that your life somehow depends on others. At the same time, the book wasn’t without its problems. 8221; Of course, because. Emotionally...

A Rationalist Reviews a Mystic: What Could Go Wrong? April 12, 2016. By Teresa of Ávila. My rating: 2 of 5 stars. The reason for this disconnect between me and St. Teresa is this: I’m a fairly practical person. I’m not prone to much in the way of spiritual experience, which has the upside of making my faith pretty rational, and the downside of making it pretty unemotional. So while I readily admit that mysticism is a valid Christian experience for. But this is a small complaint. Now for my negative points.
