Given his lifetime assignment at the Ceremony of Twelve, Jonas becomes the receiver of memories …
Interesting tale. Read some reviews that it's not original, and has done plot holes. Both are true. However, I enjoyed it and, as a YA novel, it's a good introduction to the themes. I'll be reading more in this world
Introducing an instant classic―master storyteller Neil Gaiman presents a dazzling version of the great Norse …
Fascinating, and a lot of fun.
I listened to the audio book and, frankly, in the beginning Gaiman's reading isn't the best. But either he got better or I got used to it. Mainly, some (not all) of the dialogue seemed flat
The book itself is wonderful. I know little about Norse mythology, and so was really interested in some of the details, as well as the history
"In July 2013, Oliver Sacks turned eighty and wrote [a] ... piece in The New …
Short book containing 4 essays from Sacks after he learned he had terminal cancer. Absolutely wonderful, hopeful, joyous celebrations of life.
I listened to the audiobook on a morning run, and it was the perfect companion. Will doubtlessly revisit this again
Good overview. Not comprehensive, but gives a great view of his life
A scholar of American Christianity presents a seventy-five-year history of evangelicalism that identifies the forces …
Really solid work, and eye-opening.
There's a fine line between "well researched" and "repetitive," and my personal feelings is this one landed on the wrong side at times. But not enough to take too much away from the work as a whole.
A different angle than One Nation Under God by Kruse, so a good compliment to it.
Ter Kuile, cohost of the podcast Harry Potter and the Sacred Text, demonstrates in his …
DNF just not for me
“As we go about our daily lives, caste is the wordless usher in a darkened …
This is a powerful, beautiful, painful book.
I started this back in April but, with all that's been going on in 2020, I had to stop for a while. It's beautifully written, but was just too much.
I picked it back up in late November. I'm so glad I did.
The writing is beautiful. Wilkerson makes her case and drives it home. A searing indictment of caste in America, and how we refuse so often to even see it.
Explores the history and foundation of mass incarceration and examines Christianity's role in its evolution …
Good info, but not earth shattering, new information.
Got a ton out of this.
In my opinion this is the best type of book: Well researched and argued, with plenty to think about whether you agree or disagree with each point.
I already had a ton of respect for Dr. West, and this work confirmed and deepened that sentiment.
The section about an argument at Harvard in the next-to-last chapter seemed out of place, and it's the only blemish on my opinion.
4.5 stars, rounded up on the tradition of the Calvinist Batman.
Another fun one. I like this team up
Wow. A brutal book, but it seems true to the story.
Not much to say, as I don't want to spoil the story. Such a great series, and it's a great ending to the tale.
