Hello


Information can always be abbreviated, but there is no shortcut to Knowledge.


Welcome to my blog! Here you will find:

Book reviews in 140 words or less!


I do not intend to write chapter by chapter summaries, nor do I intend for my reviews to be novels in and of themselves. Just like a 140 character tweet forces a succinct sentence, a 140 word review forces a succinct thought.

I love to read, and I think that we would be better off as a society if we did more reading and less tv watching. Here I plan to feature books that have inspired me to broaden my mental horizons and, in turn, I hope to inspire you to broaden yours.

The man who does not read good books has no advantage over the man who can't read.

- Mark Twain

Have you read any of these books? Did they impact you differently? Do you plan to read them now?(btw, that would be Awesome!)
I look forward to any and all comments! Bonus points if you can make your responses exactly 140 words (It's fun, kind of like writing a Haiku) :)

A Brave New World



What would you think of a world where you never aged past 25, you were completely healthy until a few days before death, you had constant, casual companionship from the opposite sex, and you had no jealousy of those better off than you.  The catch is that you would have to give up your free thinking.  

The argument for free will is that it differentiates us from the animals. Furthermore, no one else that makes decisions for you will really give you what you truly want... Personally, I’ll take the constant youth, bountiful sexual partners, and complete acceptance of my place in the system. Thanks!

*If you disagree, consider this a direct challenge to embrace your free will and choose to get off your ass and do something noteworthy with your life!
