Like many other 20 year olds, I’ve had an interest in child rearing for a long time. Unfortunately, many books on this subject are written from a fairly theoretical perspective,...

Some classic books are like Atlas Shrugged, where the fact that the story is a wrapper to a complex philosophical ideology is evident, which characters playing the roles of caricatures...
I’ve thought the story of Alexander Hamilton and Aaron Burr has been interesting ever since I started listening to the soundtrack of the musical by Lin-Manuel Miranda. I’ve tried reading...

Pretty great book from Michael Pollan, a UC Berkeley Professor of Journalism (go bears!). Mostly talks about LSD and other psychedelics; their history, usage, what it’s like to trip, and...
I don’t think I’d ever read a romance novel I’d liked until I hit The Rosie Project. Maybe it’s the realistic situations or the lack of over-gooey depictions of love,...
This one’s by Cixin Liu too – he’s the author of the Remembrance of Earth’s Past trilogy that I absolutely devoured this past summer. It’s a short story, less than...
I remember my goal when I got into reading books was mainly to read things that would incite positive change within my life. I haven’t completely achieved that, which is...
There’s so much content jam-packed into this novel, partially due to its unique style. World War Z is a nontraditional novel, written as a series of vignettes from survivors of...
I’m not sure where I first heard about this book, but I dove into it after finding it hidden on my book list. Max Tegmark dives deeply into the unstudied...
I can pretty confidently say this is one of the most meaningful books I’ve read in my life, while at the same time being one of the meaningless books I’ve...
Artemis is a fine science fiction flick from Andy Weir, who also wrote The Martian. This book was pretty good! In most cases, I guess it’s pretty standard; I didn’t...
Hands down probably one of the most thrilling collections I’ve ever read. Definitely way better than Foundation. I, Robot is universe building at its finest. Asimov takes the three fundamental...

I spent almost five hours reading this today. I literally couldn’t put it down. I love the way Liu wraps his own version of a future on Earth technologically with...
This was the first “modern” science fiction book I’ve ever read; most that I’ve read in the past were from an era ago. Surprisingly, however, Liu’s book doesn’t diverge much...

I think I felt a little betrayed as I was reading the book, as a large portion of Gladwell’s premise in Outliers is situated on the fact that people who...
Just finished this one today; I keep writing these reviews in retrospect, but this one’s fresh in my mind. I think the plot twists in this one caught me off...
Book two, finished! I was ready to see the Empire fall and the Second Empire rising, but it didn’t happen in this book. The first story is about an attempt...
Well, it was definitely much better than I remember. I first tried reading Foundation when I was in middle school, but couldn’t really get into it because I kept getting...
I was a huge fan of the movie, especially with regards to how well the characters were developed while still giving audiences an understanding of exactly what was happening inside...

It’s called one of the greatest science fiction novels of all time, though I believe a more proper designation would be a mix of fantasy, drama, and political thriller. Dune...
