Magic Kingdom for Sale – Sold! is a light, somewhat escapist fantasy novel that stands well on its own, builds from an intriguing premise, and presents an imaginative twist on some of the genre’s tropes.
The Memory of Earth Review
He presents a unique culture, which we can know exists as a transient blip in that enormous history, and he gives us the Oversoul, one of the most philosophically challenging science fiction elements I’ve ever encountered.
The Three Musketeers Review
Don’t take the lack of character developments to mean that there is a lack of character.
Landscape and Memory Review
Art criticism is hardly my usual field of interest, but it was not art that Landscape and Memory prompted me to consider. Instead, it was nature itself.
Submit, Publish, Repeat Review
I planned to save it to my computer for reference later. When I started glancing though it, though, those glances became a more-or-less thorough read.
Lloyd’s Best Books of 2023
These are the five books that I am most likely to recommend to someone else from the past year's reading, and I am glad to recommend them to you.
The Spectator Review
I will admit now that I did not read all eight collected volumes of what is essentially a daily cultural column.
The Way to Wealth Review
If "folk philosophy" was a genre, it is where I would shelve The Way to Wealth, which is essentially a short collection of the best snippets of advice and clever nuggets of wisdom published over the years in Franklin’s own Poor Richard’s Almanac.
On the Revolutions of the Heavenly Spheres Review
That the sun lies at the center of the solar system with the planets moving about it and the whole arrangement determined by gravity seems obvious to us today, but that is because we are surrounding by depictions of the solar system in that configuration.
Emerald Eyes Review
Aside from the fact that Moran clearly overestimated our pace of technological progress, the technology, society, and concepts featured and explored manage to feel nearly as speculative now as they must have then.
