Historia
Neil Gaiman has long been inspired by ancient mythology in creating the fantastical realms of his fiction. Now he turns his attention back to the source, presenting a bravura rendition of the great northern tales. In Norse Mythology, Gaiman fashions primeval stories into a novelistic arc that begins with the genesis of the legendary nine worlds; delves into the exploits of the deities, dwarves, and giants; and culminates in Ragnarok, the twilight of the gods and the rebirth of a new time and people.

My New Favorite
Revisado: 09-09-22
Neil Gaiman is a brilliant writer, and a brilliant narrator. I highly recommend it. It has inspired me to write my own version of these myths, so I can read them to my future kids as bedtime stories. Might need to change a few details, but they're some of my favorite myths told in a "story book" way, and I love it. Thank you, Mr. Gaiman.

Historia
This book is an exploration of the wisdom in the Viking Age poem "Havamal", specifically as it relates to the average person who isn't a scholar of Old Norse, or even an enthusiast of Viking culture. This book is for the layman, the average person who simply wants to improve their life using proven advice. The poem "Havamal" is earthy, cynical, stoic, and grim in its depiction of human life. Havamal means “The Words of the High One”. The poem's speaker is none other than Odin, King of the Gods, who has traveled the many worlds seeking power and suffered greatly in his quest.

Everyone Can Benefit From This Book
Revisado: 08-31-22
It's one of my favorite interpretations of the Havamal. My only issue is a few inaccurate uses of words like "Witch". This is a minor issue, and I believe everyone can benefit from this book, and the Havamal in general.

Reviewing The Anthropocene Reviewed.
Revisado: 05-29-21
The Anthropocene Reviewed is thought provokin, heart warming, up lifting, and heart breaking in the most beautiful way. As someone who struggles with Depression, ADHD, and Anxiety, I really resonate with John Green. Each review is wonderfully written, and each personal story makes the reader(listener) feel as though they're really connecting with John. Furthermore, the fact that you can hear the genuine emotion in his voice as he tells story, fills my heart with joy, and hope. This book reminded me of a quote from Bob Dylan's song "Up To Me", "it frightens me, the awful truth of how sweet life can be", this book reminds you of that in the most hopeful way possible.
I've been a fan of his YA novels since first stumbling on Vlogbrothers, then Brotherhood 2.0. and I thoroughly his first foray into nonfiction. Remember, "you never walk alone".
In memory of Amy Krouse Rosenthal. "We're here, because we're here, because we're here, because we're here, we're here, because we're here, because we're here."
I give The Anthropocene Reviewed, five stars.

From the larger, louder half of the world-famous magic duo Penn & Teller comes a scathingly funny reinterpretation of The Ten Commandments. They are The Penn Commandments, and they reveal one outrageous and opinionated atheist’s experience in the world.

Historia
In this book, Corey Taylor undertakes something never before attempted in the history of rock superstardom: he takes you with him as he journeys undercover through various ghostbusting groups who do their best to gather information and evidence about the existence of spirits. Taylor also gives you a behind-the-scenes tour of his crazy life and the many beyond-the-grave events he's encountered. (You'll be shocked how often Slipknot has been invaded by the supernatural).

Revisado: 02-01-17
I absolutely loved this book and Corey's hypothesis of "intelligent energy", and would like nothing more than to discuss it further. Furthermore, I could not recommend it enough to believers and skeptics alike.
Thank you Corey, now I know what I want to write my first book about.

From the story itself to the narration, everything is wonderful about this story, Gorge RR Martin knows how to grab the readers, or in this case, listeners.

Historia
Winter is coming. Such is the stern motto of House Stark, the northernmost of the fiefdoms that owe allegiance to King Robert Baratheon in far-off King's Landing. There Eddard Stark of Winterfell rules in Robert's name. Far to the north, behind the towering Wall, lie savage Wildings and worse - unnatural things relegated to myth during the centuries-long summer, but proving all too real and all too deadly in the turning of the season. Yet a more immediate threat lurks to the south, where Jon Arryn, the Hand of the King, has died under mysterious circumstances....

Ten years after Emergence Day, as the Locust Horde advances on humanity’s last defended area -Ephyra - in a bloody war that has seen billions die, Marcus Fenix does the unthinkable: he defies orders and abandons his post during a critical battle in a bid to rescue his father, weapons scientist Adam Fenix. But Adam is buried in the rubble during a ferocious assault on the Fenix mansion, and Ephyra falls to the enemy.

Absolutely one of my favorite series ever written, the only thing, and I know it's nit-picky, that I found jarring about the performance, was David Colacci's pronunciation of Jacinto.

Historia
Take one look at Kevin Smith: He's a balding fatty who wears a size XXL hockey jersey, shorts, and slippers year-round. Not a likely source for life advice. But take a second look at Kevin Smith: He changed filmmaking forever when he was twenty-four with the release of Clerks, and since then has gone on to make nine more profitable movies, runs his own production company, wrote a best-selling graphic novel, and has a beautiful wife and kids. So he must be doing something right.
