Egg . . . because his bald head looks like an egg. Get it?

NOTE: The Hedge Knight was originally published in the Legends I anthology, edited by Robert Silverberg. As the stories/novellas in the collection are set in previously existing fictional universes, and I have only read two of the series in question, I am only reviewing Martin's novella at this … [Read more]

I hate everything

Full disclosure: I'm a sucker for Amazon's Daily Deals and getting books imported immediately to my phone/Kindle for, like, $2, so I end up reading a lot of shit. Like, a lot.

Best damn guilt trip I’ve ever taken….

Wow. I've been sitting here considering just copy-pasting "wow" two hundred and forty-nine times. I'd give this book six stars if I could. I think North Korea holds a fascination for many of us in the west. Certainly it does for me. I was eight when the Berlin Wall fell; old enough to know … [Read more]
