Book Review: Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy
The Hitchhiker’s Guide To The Galaxy is a book that likely needs little introduction. Douglas Adams’ extremely popular absurdist and surreal sci fi (if not sci fantasy) series begins with Arthur Dent being whisked away from earth on one improbable adventure after another. The movie is a surprisingly faithful adaptation to the book, although per the usual idiom ‘The Book Was Better’.
Book Review: "White Rage", and why Black Lives Matter
I want to get a couple of things out of the way right away:
Rights are not pie. Everyone can have them without diminishing anyone else
Your freedom ends where my freedom begins. We all have some sacrifices we agree to make for the betterment of society and civilization. For example, George Flynn’s right to life means no one had the right to murder him, badge or no badge.
Saying ‘Black Lives Matter’ does not mean no one else’s lives matter. It is a reminder, a call to action. It means ‘Black Lives Matter Too’.

Book Review: Kingdom of Copper, by S.A Chakraborty
Books To Isolate By
I just finished Kingdom of Copper by S.A. Chakraborty yesterday, so I don’t have a blog post reviewing it. That one will be in 2 weeks. But until then, I thought it might be well worthwhile recommending several books to read while you’re social distancing or self-quarantining. Each of these books can be found either for order on Amazon (U.S.) or on Audible. They may also be available as ebooks at your local library.
Note: I am not affiliated with any of these authors, nor sponsored by Audible or Amazon. These are just books I’ve read and loved, and hope you do too!
