Somewhere out beyond the edge of the universe there is a library that contains an infinite number of books, each one the story of another reality. One tells the story of your life as it is, along with another book for the other life you could have lived if you had made a different choice at any point in your life. While we all wonder how our lives might have been, what if you had the chance to go to the library and see for yourself? Would any of these other lives truly be better? In The Midnight Library, Nora Seed finds herself faced with this decision.

Interesting Premise but Teen-novel Style Execution
Revisado: 05-09-21
The idea of going to a limbo between life and death where you can examine other lives is definitely it seems everyone has thought about at least once. This makes the midnight library intriguing to start out though the premise is used in perhaps a cliche manner to talk about suicide and what it means to be happy. The writing here isn't terrible and I think people will like this book, though the plot and directions it took could have been a little more brutal.

Interesting Sci-Fi Style Shorts
Revisado: 12-13-19
The first and last stories had riveting premises and were well executed. There were some more experimental type of shorts in the middle with the longest story, about raising AI as children, leaving some things to be desired.

From terrifying missile tests, its unmissable Olympic cheering squad, and the war of words between President Trump and Kim Jong Un - not to mention stranger-than-fiction stories of purges and assassinations - news from North Korea has dominated global headlines. But what is life there actually like? In See You Again in Pyongyang, Travis Jeppesen, the first American to complete a university program in North Korea, culls from his experiences living, traveling, and studying in the country to create a multifaceted portrait of the country and its idiosyncratic capital city.

A Philosopher Diarizes a Month in Chosun
Revisado: 03-21-19
Required reading for all Pyongyang-ologists. The events and people are thoughtfully displayed in human light which challenges popular media perceptions. A few short chapters about history can be supplemented by more academic writing but if you are interested in modern lives and day-to-day details from an American of all people, definitely worth it.
