I avoid recommending dystopian books mostly because the genre has been way over-hyped these last ten years or so. There are a couple exceptions I will always make: The Giver by Lois Lowery and The Long Walk by Stephen King – yes he writes non-horror books. If I’m recommending a dystopian […]

This morning I thought of a great topic to write about. Unfortunately I didn’t think to write it down. The common thread of humanity is the pursuit, or rejection, of truth. Politics exist because people disagree about what is true and what is not. Religion after religion professes to have […]

If you came here reading based upon the title, you probably think I’m going to talk about the ever-changing world or something of that sort. You’re wrong. You can thank me for how wrong you are, and no I’m not really calling you stupid or foolish. Anyone who’s watched my […]
