Reading a book like Yumi and the Nightmare Painter has me wondering if Tolkien ever envisioned this secondary world concept being taken to the imaginative extreme that Sanderson explores in the Cosmere.
The Valley of Horses Review
The fact that I read The Valley of Horses at all is a testament to how much I enjoyed the first book in Auel’s Earth’s Children series, and I enjoyed the second book almost as much as the first.
Critique of Pure Reason Review
Written and published in the context of the European Enlightenment of the eighteenth century, Kant’s Critique of Pure Reason reads, to me, like the philosophical predecessor to Einstein’s Relativity.
Dialogues of Seneca (The Younger) Review
Presented in the fashion of the earlier Greek dialogues (like Plato’s), most of them revolve around the notion of “the wise man,” a kind of ultimate goal for which all human beings ought, according to Seneca, be striving.
Organon Review
If there is one book that will help you on your critical thinking journey, it is Organon.
The Fountainhead Review
I would put it on a list with The Lord of the Rings, 1984, Plato’s Republic, John Locke’s Two Treatises of Government, and other writings that I think everyone should read at least once in their lives.
Longitude Review
It might be decent for what it is, and you will likely learn something if you haven’t done much reading on the longitude problem before, but after the research I did for my novel, this had little new to add.
Magic Kingdom for Sale – Sold! Review
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.
