❤️ Norse Mythology by Neil Gaiman
This was another amazing book by Neil Gaiman! 10/10. I only wish it was longer. There are so many other Norse myths which I would have loved to have heard him retell. The audiobook in particular was great. It is read by the author and unabridged. He has the voice of an angel. I have…

❤️ American Gods by Neil Gaiman
This is one of the few books I’ve read which I can confidently say I loved completely. I never felt like the author made any mistakes throughout the story, and I am usually a very critical reader. This story is a great read for anybody who is interested in mythology or Americana, but especially for…

Expanse 7 – Persepolis Rising
Persepolis rising is the seventh book in The Expanse Series. It is probably the least eventful of the series, and the most predictable. As far as Sci-Fi books go; it’s a great book. Persepolis Rising was well written and excellently orchestrated. There are a lot of really interesting situations and arguments involving the philosophy of…

Foundation and Earth by Isaac Asimov
This is the last book in The Foundation Series, chronologically. There are two more books by date of publication which are prequels to the series. This book made me sad. It felt gratuitous and contrived. I don’t think his heart was in it, though after reading this entire enormous series, the last paragraph of this…

Foundation’s Edge by Isaac Asimov
Written thirty years after the previous book, Foundation’s Edge is a worthy successor to the trilogy which holds the Best Series of All Time award. Foundation’s Edge comes at a time when the author was able to get a better perspective on the future of information technology which was only just starting to condense in…

Second Foundation by Isaac Asimov
This is the third of five books in the Foundation series. It introduces Asimov’s mentalics motif in the main; we meet many characters who like the Mule, have the power of telepathic emotional control over others. We learn a lot more about Seldon and his plan. The plan and those who execute it are forced…

Foundation and Empire by Isaac Asimov
This is the second book of Asimov’s Foundation Series. This is a worthy sequel to a great start. 10/10. One of my favorite parts of this book is the way he chooses words and phrases, which seems different from his other books. He might describe two politicians who hold the same office; one who is…

Foundation by Isaac Asimov
Isaac Asmiov’s Foundation series and especially this first book are perhaps his greatest achievement. It’s no wonder this series won the Hugo for “Best Series of All Time.” The core question seems to be, “What if history is not on your side?” or perhaps, “What role does an individual play in history?” The story…

❤️ I, Robot by Isaac Asimov
This has been one of my favorite books since I was a child. When I heard the announcement that this year’s theme for Burning Man is going to be “I, Robot,” I decided to reread it. It’s still one of the best books I’ve ever read. I can not say this enough, THIS BOOK HAS…
