The Writer's LibraryThe Wise Man’s Fear by Patrick Rothfuss My rating: 4 of 5 stars “Kvothe nodded. ‘Teccam said the same thing: no man is brave that has never walked a hundred miles. If you want to know the truth of who you are, walk until not a person knows your name. Travel is the great leveler, […]
The Name of the Wind by Patrick Rothfuss My rating: 5 of 5 stars “I have stolen princesses back from sleeping barrow kings. I burned down the town of Trebon. I have spent the night with Felurian and left with both my sanity and my life. I was expelled from the University at a younger […]
So, on this beautiful summer day, I figured I’d review Owl City’s new album Cinematic. I’ve been waiting eight months for this thing, and I have a lot to say about it. I looked up some reviews of the album, and some of them were fairly negative, but this is because they were written after […]
Lolita by Vladimir Nabokov My rating: 5 of 5 stars “Lolita, light of my life, fire of my loins. My sin, my soul. Lo-lee-ta: the tip of the tongue taking a trip of three steps down the palate to tap, at three, on the teeth. Lo. Lee. Ta. She was Lo, plain Lo, in the […]

He grasped the weapon eagerly, his hands trembling so that he nearly dropped it. Scabbard and hilt bore no ornament; the craftsmanship lay in its proportion and balance. Though […]
Waiting for Godot by Samuel Beckett My rating: 4 of 5 stars “‘Let’s go.’ ‘We can’t.’ ‘Why not?’ ‘We’re waiting for Godot.’ ‘Ah!’” This review is pretty much a spur-of-the-moment thing, because I never intended to write a review for this one, since I read it for the first time last year […]
The Third Man by Graham Greene My rating: 4 of 5 stars “It was not the face that was familiar, for he could not make out so much as the angle of the jaw; nor a movement, for the body was so still that he began to believe that the whole thing was an illusion […]
Well, it’s been fun screwing up the uploads (not!) but I finally have the video ready for you guys to watch. If you saw most of the video, but need to see the placing for the novels I missed the first time, go to 1:48 and 3:29 on the video. Sorry about all the screwups. I […]
Norse Mythology by Neil Gaiman My rating: 4 of 5 stars “That is why Odin is called the all-father. Because he was the father of the gods, and because he breathed the breath of life into our grandparents’ grandparents’ grandparents. Whether we are gods or mortals, Odin is the father of us all.” I have […]
