Crescent, by Phil Rossi

I just got finished listening to Crescent by Phil Rossi, and I’d have to say it was an excellent book.
Crescent is a very gritty, dark, science fiction tale full of corruption and horror.  Phil is an excellent storyteller, though at first I was a bit put off by his narration style.  After the first part [...]


Some Great Books

Having finished Playing for Keeps a while back ago, I snagged some more Podiobooks to listen to.  Since I haven’t updated what I’ve been listening too I figured I’d do a quick rundown:

The 7th Son Trilogy, by J.C. Hutchins
By far the best Podiobooks I’ve listened to so far, and possibly the best books I’ve ever [...]

Updates

It’s been a while since I’ve posted last.  I haven’t had much time really, especially since my computer time at home has been limited to a BROKEN-GOD-DAMNED-iBook!
Yup.  It’s dead.  Now I have to wait for the economic stimulus check so I can buy a new Macbook Pro.

This is one of the sites I manage at work and really didn’t take much notice of it at first.  I figured that most of these books were for pre-teens and young adults and wouldn’t interest me much.
After posting a good portion [...]


RE: Two Hearts

Last week I wrote a post about Peter S. Beagle’s Two Hearts, the semi-followup to The Last Unicorn.
You can read it right here.
I haven’t read it yet, but will be doing so as soon as I get the chance. I normally hate reading things like this on a computer screen, but I’m hoping it’s [...]


Two Hearts

This is a semi-follow-up of my earlier post today about The Last Unicorn: The Lost Version.
While I was doing some digging I found out the Beagle wrote a novella called Two Hearts that takes place in the Last Unicorn universe. Not only did I find that, but also a tidbit that Beagle is working [...]


The Last Unicorn: The Lost Version

The knowledge that this book exists is driving me crazy.  I love The Last Unicorn, both the book and the movie.  I would have been content to know that I’ve both read the book, and seen the movie.
Now I come to find that certain publishers released the unfinished first draft of the book and, of [...]
