The Trilogy We Should've Gotten

Revisado: 12-19-19

After being disappointed with The Last Jedi, I went on a quest to start reading some of the Star Wars books that had come out years ago. I wanted to see what direction the franchise could have gone in. So, I started with Heir to The Empire (the original Episode VII) and I was blown away. So I decided to read the second book, Dark Force Rising (the original Episode VIII) and once again, I was blown away. I was determined to finish this one prior the release Disney's Episode XI, which I have just done; talk about cutting it close, the movie comes out tonight haha. Anyway, this is the true sequel trilogy, it has all of the heroes we love, it doesn't skip beat, and the narration keeps you invested. Overall, this trilogy was awesome! I wish Disney would have followed these plans, but even if they did I am not sure how they would have done it without having to recast all of the hero rolls being that this triology takes place only a few years after ROTJ. I highly recommend this trilogy of Star Wars books. It helps wash out all of the crud that Disney slung at us.

The Best Beatles Bio Out There

Revisado: 10-03-19

My history with The Beatles goes back to when I was 10 years old and on a chance I bought the Beatles 1 album that enclosed all of their number 1 singles. Little did I know I was getting caught up in a whirlwind of greatness. I would listen to that album over and over. I would memorize the words and sing along, like all of us have done. At the time, that was all I knew of The Beatles. Sure my parents liked them and enjoyed their music but they didn't know any of the history, so I went for nearly a decade just really knowing The Beatles 1 album. During that decade I was really influenced and into The Doors, at the time they were my all time favorite band and no one could top them. Sure I bought the White Album and my dad had Abbey Road, but that was it. Things really took off when I got into college and saw that my university was actually offering a 16 week, 3 credit hour course called The Beatles: A Cultural and Musical Revolution at The University of New Mexico (the class is still taught there). This class took us through everything of The Beatles, we went into the smallest details to the common details. This book, Can't Buy Me Love, was the text we had go through in the class. The audiobook format did not exist when I took the class. But this class grew my love and admiration for The Beatles. We went through all of their albums, including solo careers, and movies. I bought the complete box set that released back in 2009 and I must've gone through that thing more times than I have for any other group. The Beatles mean so much to me and this book is great. The audiobook format is great and the narrator is awesome. This is a book for the real, die hard, fans of The Beatles. If you don't want to know their childhood backgrounds, the smallest of details, the culture they grew up in, then this may not be for you. This book literally has everything about every person associated with the group. It goes into their history as well as the history of all the people and business that The Beatles encountered. I recommend this for those that want all the details. If this book does make you stop a thousand times to listen to the songs that are being discussed, then you are following this book in the wrong way. So here is my recommended way to listen. Get comfy, throw on some headphones, have a snack ready and have The Beatles catalogue ready for you to get lost in.

No words

Just got through this one and I still can’t process everything just yet. Great details and a lot of research went into this. The People’s Temple was more than just a cult, it was a political movement. Jim Jones was one sick guy. It is sad that so many were blinded to this man. He had mass murder in his mind from the very beginning. I definitely recommend going through this one.

Beautiful Story

Revisado: 11-10-18

Most of us who read this are more than likely fans of The Office. What I learned from this is that Rainn Wilson more than just Dwight. He has a beautiful story and it really is great. The book only spends a couple chapters talking about The Office. So if you are thinking that this will focus solely on his time on the show you may be upset. This literally goes through his early childhood all the way to where is writing the book. I have a newfound respect for Rainn and his story is beautiful. Enjoy!
