Jason Reeser gave to: Distant Thunders (Destroyermen Series #4) by Taylor Anderson (Goodreads Author) read in March, 2011	My rating:
Always fun to read this series. Anderson has done a good job of taking a quirky idea and expanding it into an epic story much like WWII. It's not quite as big, but he is keeping it fresh with new elements always being added.

Jason Reeser gave to: Rising Tides by Taylor Anderson (Goodreads Author) read in January, 2012	My rating:
Once again, Taylor Anderson manages to tell a fun, epic tale of war set in an improbable world. The multiple storylines keep this story moving. When it seems like this is about to bog down, Anderson is always able to slip into another gear that kee...more

Jason Reeser gave to: God Save the Mark by Donald E. Westlake read in January, 2012	My rating:
Great fun. Not as funny as a Dortmunder, but pretty close. A nice change of pace. This is the kind of story that would have translated well into a movie.

I came across this novellette in my Kindle collection of Dickens. I had never heard of it before and was pleased to find it. It is the last of the 5 Christmas stories that Dickens wrote. It has similarities to A Christmas Carol. It has a great pr...more

Jason Reeser gave to: 77 Shadow Street by Dean Koontz read in December, 2011	My rating:
Just started this yesterday, nearly 60% through, and I'm not sure what to think. Mr. Koontz has really pulled out all the stops, which makes me wonder how it can ever have a decent ending. Maybe he'll surprise me. I should have learned by now to t...more

Jason Reeser gave to: The Spy (Isaac Bell) by Clive Cussler read in November, 2011	My rating:
It took me forever to read this. I just couldn't get excited about any of it. The details and setting make for what should be a fun adventure, but it just dragged.

Quotes Jason Likes

“Fantasy is escapist, and that is its glory. If a soldier is imprisioned by the enemy, don't we consider it his duty to escape?. . .If we value the freedom of mind and soul, if we're partisans of liberty, then it's our plain duty to escape, and to take as many people with us as we can!”
― J.R.R. Tolkien
