An enjoyment of sci-fi was awakened by Leviathan Wakes

Leviathan Wakes by James S. A. Corey

May 19, 2020 by Mobius_Walker 2 Comments

I will start by saying that I typically do not enjoy sci-fi, but I found it hard to put this book down. Leviathan Wakes primarily follows the Jim Holden, former military officer turned private captain of water transport ship, and Joe Miller, washed-up detective who doesn’t know he’s past his prime. Holden and his ragtag crew members start an interplanetary war after his ship is attacked. Miller investigates a missing persons case across multiple planets at the center of said war . Together, they discover a […]

Breathing in a collection of sci-fi short stories by a master

Exhalation: Stories by Ted Chiang

April 27, 2020 by Mobius_Walker Leave a Comment

Exhalation: Stories is a collection of short sci-fi stories written by Ted Chiang. Below is a short review of each story but over-all, Exhalation: Stories made me think. Collectively, each story forced upon a small crisis of identity in how I relate to technology in my own world, and I am a more self-aware person for it. Chiang created a collection of stories that all meshes together. No story feels out of place or like an intruder. “The Merchant and the Alchemist’s Gate”: An interesting and […]

Unfortunately this Imaginary Friend just wouldn’t go away

Imaginary Friend by Stephen Chbosky

February 4, 2020 by Mobius_Walker 4 Comments

Christopher and his single-mother are starting over in a town. Christopher must savE the worlD. He’ll need all thE helP he Can geT. FrOm hiS friendS. From his moM. And from his new imaginarY frienD. The Nice Man. Over 900 pages of this book were written like that: short, declarative sentences; fragments; strange, unnecessary capitalization; breaks in the sentence and paragraph. It’s all very Chbosky. At first, the style choices work. The breaks and short sentences create a tone and a mood that leave the […]

    This sounds delightful. I think I have found that I like romances better when something else is driving the story...
