The word “knifenado” is used in the first page.

Structurally a bit of a shaggy dog, maybe. But also not nearly as enamored with tech as some of Doctorow’s worst impulses. I enjoyed it.

I haven’t read a Doctorow novel for a long time.

Recommended to me by a friend as a spiritual successor to Animorphs.

Shiga is one of the most creative minds in comics right now, and has been for years. At first I felt like the book was more of a tech demo than anything else, but as I started unlocking the secrets, I found Shiga’s unique blend of horror and comedy and sci-fi, and was glad I did.

I’m confident I’ve found all the good parts.

Did it take me two years to finish reading this? Yes.

North does a great job of presenting these ideas with his trademark wit. I don’t know if I’ll come back to this one quite as often as How to Invent Everything (a book that literally changed my life in small ways) but I have no hesitation in recommending it.

Parker succeeds again! This is his third math book about math for a wide audience, and like the others he presents the topics with humor and depth.

This book describes three people sitting together “in a loose triangle” and I’m sorry, if there’s three people it’s exactly a triangle. You can have a loose square (an irregular quadrilateral), but a triangle is always exact. Three points? It’s a triangle. It maybe be scalene, rather than equilateral, but that’s hardly loose, now is it?

Got the limited edition cover (blue)

Hell, but not like the others.

I don’t know what I expected. This is gunna keep me up at night.
