I have made no secret of my great love for the works of E. E. “Doc” Smith. I am currently one book away from finishing his classic Lensman series, and still can’t get over the wonderful way that he merges incredibly cool and imaginative ideas, exciting storytelling, immense grandeur, and extremely fun corniness.

I’ve been reading an awful lot of comic books lately. Not because I particularly prefer them to normal ol’ books (having a preference at all there would be awfully silly) but because they challenge and entice an entirely different part of my brain than my school reading does, making them a better break from that [...]

Hey everyone, I’m back-ish. My time for personal reading has gone down considerably during the last few weeks (thankfully, however, I’ve been reading some pretty cool stuff for school: expect a write-up of the Sundiata epic soon) but I’ve managed to get it in where I can.
