Autistic Christian artist/worker/gamer/user/avid reader of comics and books.

Read manga growing up before quitting out of discomfort and later read books since high school, later graduated and read comics (Spawn, Marvel Masterworks, Batman: The Golden Age) and then switched to indie comics where currently reading the works of Mike Mignola at Dark Horse (Hellboy, Hellboy and the BPRD, Young Hellboy, Baltimore) and currently prefer them.

I’ve also read lots of regular books beginning in school with Sybil by Flora Rheta Schreiber to adulthood with Moby Dick by Herman Melville.

I follow Christianity, so recently I’ve become religious and devoted my reading to God should He be willing to let me read something genuine.

Yo gusta lenguas y hecho mucho progreso con el idioma español y comenzar lire en este lengua.

Ich auch Deutsch kennen, aber nicht leer Deutschliteratur, weil ich kenne nicht series zu lesen das ich spreche.

Ahem, anyway, that’s my language skills right now: Spanish and German.

Wonder what I’ll practice next…

I also like to journal everywhere too.

reviewed 1984: a novel by George Orwell (Signet Classics)

George Orwell: 1984 (Paperback, 1963, Signet Classics) 4 stars

The year 1984 has come and gone, but George Orwell's prophetic, nightmarish vision in 1949 …

A political book I actually read?

2 stars

Uh…why did I read this again?

I mean, it was in my school at the time but I kind of moved from this kind of perspective of evil governments.

As a self-taught student of the Bible I don’t believe in just an evil society.

What I read, the whole world lies within the power of the evil one and God says he’ll destroy evil and cast all of it into the Pit and his Son will come back and rule the next kingdom should anyone on Earth believe in him.

So you see, I’m more religious than politically cynic and disobedient.

I admit I read this in school, but I question how this story was made.

Only because of my faith now.

George Orwell might be a good author for others, but with God and Jesus by my side what should I be reading?

Well, I did become religious when …

A historic yet strange take on whaling

4 stars

I may not have kept track of this book when I began and finished reading it but I can summarize the story without going too much into detail about it.

Moby Dick is a mysterious American novel that turned out way more darker than I had intended nor like how the book was depicted in mass media.

The book is an intriguing read if you want to explore other cultures while reading about historic fiction set in the 1800s like maybe before the Industrial Revolution or when imperial European powers take over the New World until the American Revoution.

It was a good book to read because I also got to learn about the 19th century practice of whaling even though whales now have protected rights as sea creatures with rights.

It was a different culture of a different time in the United States long before so many amenities were …
