I actually began this write up a month or so ago, thinking to myself that I would be timely for a change and manage to post it before June, but the computer gods had other ideas and laughed at my hubris. I logged into my WordPress to post the update…

2020 Reading Roundup
Well look at that, it’s June so it must mean it’s time for my annual roundup of what I read during the previous year. I know most people post these lists in early January, but I am a certified procrastinator and this is as timely as it gets. I decided…

What I Read in 2015: Or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love Audio Books
So I thought I would take a few minutes to wrap up what I read in 2015. 2015 was the year that I finally embraced the power of Audible. Back when I was living in Toronto and commuting on public transit it was easy to read a book weekly. These…
Mostly Harmless
The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy (1979) I rarely go back and re-read books. There are just too many books in this world I haven’t read yet to spend time re-reading the ones that I have. Having said that, there are a few I make an exception for. Douglas Adams’ Hitchhiker’s Guide…
