American Gods

Wrote a review for

This is one of those books that I know I'll read again later in life, and I'll get something else out of it.
American Gods is a book that's been on my radar for a little over a year now. It was always in my queue, but it kept getting pushed back until I finally picked it up a couple of weeks ago. Not only am I glad I read it, I'm glad I waited as long as I did.
The themes of reinvention, grief, design, and belief in this book all resonated in me with a strength that would have been unattainable if I had read it before now.
This book is phenomenal. There were a couple of parts that read like molasses but oh boy was the payoff worth it.
Read it when you feel you're ready.

The Time Machine

Wrote a review for

This story was unexpectedly interesting! My first experience with H.G. Wells, I expected something difficult to approach. I was pleasantly surprised with a story that read quite easily, kept me gripped, and made a LOT of societal commentary. I'll definitely be reading more of their work in the future (or at whatever timeframe I'm in when it happens).

Neuromancer

Wrote a review for

Holy cow that was a wild ride. This novel was fast-paced, but managed to be alarmingly introspective at the same time. Definitely a sci-fi staple.

You Can Be Happy No Matter What: Five Principles for Keeping Life in Perspective

Wrote a review for

Pretty solid read. The principles for happiness laid out in this book make a whole lot of sense, and I will definitely be doing my best to integrate them into my life. This book uses many real life scenarios to portray ideas, which is great, but it doesn't use very much data or results from any kind of research, which would be better for my personal comprehension. Despite this, I still recommend this book to any person who desires to live a happy life unfettered by negative thoughts and emotions.
