  • Seveneves by Neal Stephenson

    I finished Seveneves by Neal Stephenson and I am annoyed that the book is actually Seven Eves. Sir…..🙄 Anyway, i thought the first part of the book was very tedious. I’m not into the world building, super detailed books, I’m more of a let’s paint with broad strokes and my brain will fill in the…

  • Forks over knives…quite literally

    “The most powerful anti-aging drug is a fork.” Dr. Michael Greger. I recently finished How Not to Age by Dr. Greger and was astounded at the level of study and information presented in the book. I am even more impressed that he has created a free website, nutritionfacts.org, which has even more information about the…

  • Has Fahrenheit 451 become our reality?

    I recently picked up Fahrenheit 451 as I wanted to revisit this book and its themes as an adult. I remember reading it in school, but it feels that our current times are more Fahrenheit 451-like than they were then. I enjoyed the opening to this book; “It was a pleasure to burn. It was…

  • The littlest of women

    So. I recently read Little Women by Louisa May Alcott and it was surprising how good it was. It didn’t give me preachy, kids should be seen and not heard and women should devote their whole lives to serving their husbands message that I was expecting. It was actually a nice story that followed the…

  • Too comfortable?

    I recently read The Comfort Crisis by Michael Easter and it highlighted for me how much of our lives are sent being surrounded and all-encompassed in a bubble of comfort. This has led, I believe, to so many problems from our health and our ways of communicating. Societally, Easter mentions that the rise in mental…

  • The Longest Night

    I recently watched Jojo Rabbit, which led me to want to read more about this tragic time in history. I looked into The Diary of a Young Girl, as I hadn’t read it, but no copies were available from Libby at the time. I then decided to read Night by Elie Wiesel. It’s so sad…

  • I feel for you, but frfr

    I recently read Parable of the Sower and this was another book that told me, I need to get my life together. If we were to end up in the world that Octavia Butler envisioned, I would be out of luck. I’m planning to start using my free time to learn at least one of…

  • “Four legs good, two legs bad.”

    I just listened to Animal Farm by George Orwell today as I’m interested in rereading or having an initial read of the classics. I watched Jojo Rabbit yesterday and it reignited my interest in revisiting Night by Elie Wiesel. That led me down the rabbit hole, no pun intended, of reading Animal Farm. Oh my…
