5 stars | Another chapter in the great series, maybe a bit sadder than most, as it details the 12 months following the last book's tragic end. Eagerly awaiting the next. | Feb 22, 2026 |

Twelve Months (The Dresden Files, #18) review
The Torah review
4 stars | Very repetitive to the point of being hard to get through but seems more detailed than the old testament. | Apr 17, 2025 |
In Plain Sight review
4.27 | A great overview of UAPs from the 40s to 2023 in a fairly even handed way. If you are wanting to know what all the fuss is about without having to deep dive, this is the book for you. Even those well versed might pick up some interesting bits they missed. | Jan 27, 2025 |
The Book of Mormon: Another Testament of Jesus Christ review
5 stars | I must say, it was a lot easier to read than the Torah, Quran, or Bible. A lot less repetitive and more up-to-date language. It sounds more like a history text than a religious text. If the history were set in the Middle East instead of America, then it would be very believable. So much so, you have to wonder if maybe they got the location wrong. But then that might make sense, whether it was written or translated in the 1800s by someone familiar with the Bible. | May 29, 2025 |
The Hidden Language of Cats: How They Have Us at Meow review
5 stars | This book will probably confirm what most cat "owners" already suspect about their cat's abilities to communicate. But you will discover why cats act as they do and hear about similarities and differences with other communicative critters. | Jan 19, 2025 |
Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind review
5 stars | A great book that explores how we got into some of these historical cycles and may be locked into repeating them. For example, listening to the chapter on how we started down the cycle of farming, which led to industrialization, you see a substantial similarity to the current AI cycle. Don't get me wrong, I'm all in favor of AI automation because I see the benefits, but I also see all too well the pain it will cause, mainly due to poor planning. Just as this book demonstrates how humans were domesticated by wheat, rather than the other way around, AI will also change society. It is virtually inevitable. The level of pain this will cause is the only real variable. And similar to the adoption of wheat, that will be mostly figured out in hindsight. | Sep 22, 2025 |
Gnosticism: From Nag Hammadi to the Gospel of Judas review
5 stars | A must listen for anyone who calls themselves Christian. This series lays out the evolution of early Christianity with all the various sects, texts left out of the King James bible, and other versions that differ slightly from the King James version. This then gives you greater insight into why certain word choices were made and why some parts of the King James Version seem to conflict. | Oct 19, 2025 |
