Book Review: Age Of Security By Ruben Andersson

11-02-2026

[Andersson's] Sense Of Freedom Is As Pale As [His] Skin. Otherwise As Solid As Flan. This is one of those books that is well documented at roughly 26% of the overall text and raises a lot of solid points about its general premise with a largely global-ish look, examining different aspects of security as it plays out in Sweden, African Spain, Ch

Book Review: Built To Punish By Nora V Demleitner

11-01-2026

Anecdotal Over Evidentiary With Sub-Par Bibliography And At Least One Fact So Wrong As To Be Hyperbole. Where to begin with this one. I had such high hopes for it, yet it turned out to be just another left of center (at best) diatribe largely rehashing exactly the same "facts" and commentary as so many other books... several of which have done either this entire narrative or at least certain parts of it far more thoroughly and convincingly.

The bibliography clocking in at just 10%, particularly given some of t

Book Review: Fishbowl By Jeremy Robinson

10-28-2026

Asimov Sent The New God Of Science Fiction To Piss The World Off. Ok, so Robinson isn't subtle with the themes of this book. At all. Not to the level of preachiness, but you know *very* well the questions Robinson was wrestling in his own mind as you read this book... and in classic Robinson fashion, you don't *really* know where he ultimately ends up personally, because as always the story comes first. Definitely something for me to ask him about w

10-23-2026

Jurassic Park Is More Real Than This Supposedly Nonfiction Book. And Less Bigoted. In all honesty, this book seems like Black started with the premise that

Yes Christians Should Read Horror Books Too

10-20-2026

Current drama on Twitter/X involves a podcaster whose most recent book was so bad that even though I read it trying to defend it, even I ultimately proclaimed it “Not recommended for anyone but the truly masochistic” now proclaiming that Christians should not “be fans of horror”.

Now, I was raised in the Church. My earliest memories are of going to a Church of God church, one where my high school mentor and the man who changed my life later went on to be the Principal of the school it ran for several years after his retirement from public education. I spent my later single digit years and teens in a Southern Baptist Church and during this period, my pastor of many of these years was a man who later (after I left that church) became President of the Georgia Baptist Convention. I then spent a few years - including when Hurricane Katrina struck the Gulf Coast in 2005 - at the very Independent Baptist church that my parents had gotten married in 25 years earlier.

Some of my earliest chapter books - not the earliest

Book Review: Appetite On Pause By Tierra Duncan

10-17-2026

Facts. Not Fear. Discussion. Not Diatribe. Up front: I started this year at 341 lbs. On April 14, I was at 327 lbs after some diet changes (not eating a bag - or two! - of mini donuts every day among them, to give you an idea of where I was). That day, I had my annual ph
