I forgot I was driving a 5-hour trip!
This purchase was an impulse buy from a bookstore before I drove 5-1/2 hours to Houston. The CD came highly recommended by the clerk selling me some books. I thought, why not, I love Jeremy Irons' voice. This CD was indeed the best audio book I've ever heard and I've ...

Aspect, 1998

Action heats up as both sides begin to consolidate their assets
Book 2A or 3 (depending on how you want to count the books) begins on the pastoral planet of Norfolk and ends on an asteroid in the Dorados called Ayacucho. I felt this extreme contrast shows how the people of the Confederation's innocence has been stripped away by ...

Peter Levenda

Continuum International Publishing Group, 2008

Seven Steps to Heaven
It is easy to look at the mysticism of the ancients and see nothing but unintelligible mumbo-jumbo. But while we are free to reject myth and mysticism as incorrect, we would be foolish to dismiss them as nonsense. There is simply too much articulation, ...

Fullmetal Alchemist, Volume 12

Hiromu Arakawa

VIZ Media LLC, 2007

Improving some characters, continuing the saga
At this point the manga has separated itself completely from the storyline of the anime, but it's all for the better. The manga has more story to tell, and the author and illustrators are giving all kinds of mysteries and excitement for the readers. I'm not going to ...
