An entertaining and eye opening tour through Dave Grohl’s extraordinary life (so far)

The Storyteller by Dave Grohl

May 19, 2022 by TylerDFC 1 Comment

The new pseudo-autobiography, The Storyteller, from Foo Fighters frontman/Nirvana drummer Dave Grohl is not conventional. This makes sense since neither is its author. Rather than telling his life story in chronological order, the book is structured as a series of anecdotes that hit significant events mostly in the order they occurred. Whenever I am reading a biography I always dread the beginning chapters as the author goes into detail about their parents, family, and childhood. I tend to skim these parts because, for the most […]

Malibu Rising by Taylor Jenkins Reid

Wendy, Darling by A.C. Wise

Cat Chaser by Elmore Leonard

April 18, 2022 by TylerDFC Leave a Comment

I’m starting to get behind so I’m going with the group review format. I didn’t know how to do this until now so I’m hoping this saves my season when my laziness/procrastination (fine, its mostly because of Elden Ring) prevents me from getting my reviews written. These are three books that are very different in genre, but all quite good and recommended.   Malibu catches fire. It is simply what Malibu does from time to time. Tornadoes take the flatlands of the Midwest. Floods rise […]

Secret government operatives trying to kill Nora and Corrie? Must be Tuesday.

Diablo Mesa (Nora Kelly #3) by Preston & Child

April 1, 2022 by TylerDFC Leave a Comment

Shortly after the events of The Scorpion’s Tail, archeologist Nora Kelly is approached to lead a dig at the purported UFO crash site in Roswell, New Mexico by driven billionaire Lucas Tappan. Tappan wants to prove once and for all a UFO crashed at Roswell, and not a weather balloon. No sooner does she start work than a pair of dead bodies are found. Not little green men, but a man and a woman shot in the head and dating back to the 1940’s. Nora […]

It’s not the years, its the mileage.

The True Adventures of the World's Greatest Stuntman by Vic Armstrong with Robert Sellers

March 14, 2022 by TylerDFC Leave a Comment

You may not know his face but you know his characters. In his extraordinary career, Vic Armstrong has been Superman (doubling for the late Christopher Reeve), Indiana Jones (doubling for Harrison Ford in the original trilogy), and James Bond (doubling for George Lazenby, Roger Moore, and Sean Connery [Never Say Never Again]) among a host of others. When a stunt is too outrageous, or dangerous, for the star the stunt person steps in to get the job done. The True Adventures of the World’s Greatest […]

“Burn it down, Charlie. Burn it all down.”

Firestarter by Stephen King

March 9, 2022 by TylerDFC 1 Comment

Between 1974 and 1984 Stephen King published an astounding 18 books (counting the four novellas published under the name Richard Bachman, later packaged together as The Bachman Books). The sheer output is not the only extraordinary thing. Among those titles are the books most would consider among King’s most iconic: Carrie, ‘salem’s Lot, The Shining, The Stand, The Eyes of the Dragon, The Talisman, Pet Sematary, The Gunslinger, Christine. Next to those iconic works, there are others that are no less great but seem to […]

I have crossed oceans of time to find you.

The Kingdoms by Natasha Pulley

February 8, 2022 by TylerDFC 9 Comments

Joe Tournier is an amnesiac living in the French colony of England in 1898. His first memory is of stepping off a train platform in London after arriving from Glasgow with no memory of who he is. He has recurring and fleeting memories of a woman named Madeline, a lighthouse, a man on a beach, and a sense that something is wrong. He is taken to an asylum and a doctor diagnoses him with a rare form of epilepsy, one that has afflicted hundreds of […]
