Demetri Martin not only has a unique sense of humor, he also has very unique methods for delivering that humor. I have enjoyed watching some episodes of his show and also enjoyed his collection of drawings in the book Point … Continue reading

How to Travel the World For Free by Michael Wigge (2012)
Travelogues are generally top-tier pleasure reading for me. I especially enjoy reading outdated ones, like those by Paul Theroux in the ’70s and ’80s as he trained through countless cities, and even some locales that no longer exist. There’s just … Continue reading

OR The Treasure on the Floor of the Atlantic Tom Swift might not be a household name these days, but for generations (including my own) he’d been known as one of the great American boy adventurers, right on par with … Continue reading
Invisible Eagle by Alan Baker (2000)
The History of Nazi Occultism The subject matter of Invisible Eagle—the occult roots of Hitler’s Nazis—is a fascinating one, if only to interact with some of the most difficult enigmas of evil in recent history. This goes right on par … Continue reading
Mark’s Story by Jerry B. Jenkins and Tim LaHaye (2007)

The Andromeda Strain by Michael Crichton (1969)
Perhaps I’m a glutton for punishment, but early this summer I opened up another novel by Michael Crichton, The Andromeda Strain. I did so for the promised plot, a deadly virus in the 1950s American Southwest that threatens to kill … Continue reading
The Diamond Marriage by Simon Vibert (2005)
This gallery contains 2 photos.
Have Ultimate Purpose in Your Marriage This book came as part of my Logos Bible Software package, and I read as much as I did on my phone through the Vyrso app. I love the Logos software and Vyrso is … Continue reading
The Billionaire’s Vinegar by Benjamin Wallace (2008)
The Mystery of the World’s Most Expensive Bottle of Wine What initially drew me to The Billionaire’s Vinegar by Benjamin Wallace was more the genre—“the biography of things,” as I like to call it—than the subject matter itself. While I’m virtually illiterate … Continue reading
