Quackery: A Brief History on the Worst Ways to Cure Everything is indeed what it says on the box. We have an intro into what each method is, and then how awful it was and why. It’s very informative, but for each thing it comes across as a Very Big Deal. Each of these methods were indeed used, but it seems like the authors over-inflate their importance. Mercury (I’m sure everyone knows by now that medically, Mercury is a Very Bad Thing) Antimony […]
“Holmes,” I cried. “Is it really you?”
While gathering my thoughts to start writing this review, I kept getting the feeling that this was my favorite of the Holmes story collections so far. With this feeling in mind, I moseyed on over to Goodreads to look at my status updates to try to collect evidence to back it up (I rate and do mini-reviews for every story), whereupon I found to my surprise that my reaction to most of the stories was just good, not great. It’s a solid story collection! However, only two out […]
I Am The Consuming Fire
Good news! I didn’t have to wait until 2019 to get The Consuming Fire. Don’t read this review if you haven’t read The Collapsing Empire.
Want to fall in love with Trevor Noah?
I’d read good things about this book for a little while but I assumed it was just another comedian celebrity writing a book to make some money.

I’ve always thought that comedians who read their own books are the very best of narrators so it seemed like a safe pick. I’d watched the Daily Show with Trevor a few times. A little less often than I […]
The trippiest trip you’ll ever take
Oh dear. So that happened. I’m From the Sun: The Gustafer Yellowgold Story was a free Audible Original that I thought looked interesting. And it certainly was that. This whole thing is a giant acid trip, complete with music. I actually originally thought this was a story based on a song from some artist I’d never heard of. But no. No, this was definitely not what I was expecting. So, as the title suggests, our tale takes place on the Sun. There is a […]
What a way to experience a classic!
So, while I am a fan of Pride and Prejudice, I have never really read other Jane Austen books. So when I heard that the production of Emma was free on Audible, I jumped on it. And I’m super glad I did! This is an awesome production, and a production indeed it is. I have no idea how big the cast is, but this is quality work. There are sound effects in the background, like horses and crowds and paper rustling and fire crackling! Emma […]
