Way back in 1977 Arthur Herzog wrote a SciFi book called Heat about runaway global warming due to combined interconnected causes that fed each other. He's starting to look like a prophet.

I highly recommend the new Jo Nesbo : Knife. He is my favorite author. This one is mesmerizing. If you never read Nesbo before I suggest to start from the first one up to this one, because it's the life of Harry Hole and all the characters all along....

I might be a bit late to the party, but for those who like Scandinavian crime thrillers (or any type of mystery/crime books), have you read Jo Nesbo's Harry Hole series? I found Thirst (the 11th in the series I believe) at a bus stop and decided ...

I would like to make a few book suggestions to get all of you addicted. They are sagas, though, so they are long, but well worth it. Ask about them at your own risk, because I will tell you about them at length.

A short Sci-Fi that is quite good even though it will only take about an hour to read. It is also kinda cheap.

Westworld on dvd. Love me some Thandie Newton. The show is, of course, a variation on a theme that has been with us quite a while, going back at least to Frankenstein, maybe to the golem or further: If man creates a being in his own image, thus ...

Coming to the end of Marilynne Robinson's Home. I might have said this before, but I'll say it again. The black sheep—or maybe the white sheep—of a family may see Jack Boughton in him/herself, or him/herself in Jack Boughton. But the difference...

There's a tv station airing an adaptation of Patrick Melrose by Edward St. Aubyn. I got about 5 pages into this book when it took a vile and horrific turn. I've learned since then that the novels are semi-autobiographical. He's a very well-regarded ...
