Latest
- Doom Patrol ★★★★☆ An absurd, character-focused, darkly humorous, psychological take on people with the super-power/body horror combo.
- A Christmas Carol
★★★★★
Charles Dickens
It’s been ages since I last read the original, and I wanted a break from a longer book two days before Christmas, so I figured I’d pick it up. And yeah, the story holds up. - Paradises Lost
★★★★★
Ursula K. Le Guin
An intricate novella about the middle generations of a multi-generational spaceship, and the religion they’ve developed that believes nothing outside the ship is real, and both Earth and their destination are myths.

Notes
Dates and cross-posting: The oldest reviews have been moved or copied over from my blog or third-party sites where I originally wrote them (social media posts, reviews at Yelp or Amazon, etc.), and I've kept most of the original publication dates. When I make substantial changes (not just fixing typos or updating links or tags) I add an updated date to the article.
Sometimes I still cross post (usually abbreviated versions) to sites like Bookwyrm, AlternativeTo, or store listings, where a review is more likely to be seen.
Not AI: Yes, these are a real person's opinions. Yes, the website has em-dashes and curly quotes. Proper typography predates AI by decades, even on the web.
