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....

One down, four more to go. The cover was brand new few weeks ago !!! Great read after watching carefully the DVDs. It helps to create new scenes in my mind based on the actual characters for tons of details left out by HBO series

You may be aware that large bookstores have separate sections these days for 'young adult' readers. It's a newish marketing thing. Now I'm not knocking it outright. In fact I just finished "The Hate You Give' by Angie Thomas, a YA book and very...

I didn't notice it is a novel otherwise I wouldn't have bought it. Oh well, kind of glad I did since it is an easy read. Written from the perspective of a woman where I felt like she is a little bit biased... There is more than what it meets the eye,...
