The Top 10 Marvel Movies... Ranked For Your Viewing Pleasure


Over the past month I’ve been in a Marvel binge. Mainly, the Marvel Cinematic Universe. It’s super popular right now, and part of me feels like all these movies that are being made just for me are being sullied by all these other millions of people watching and enjoying them.
I mean, they’re mine. I get to enjoy them, not other people.
Regardless, they’re out there now and part of me doesn’t want to Read more of this blog post »

I don’t remember a lot about this book but I remember I hated it. Not to shit all over the author, who wrote a very competent book, I was just not into it at all, and marveled a bit at how much I did not like what I read.

I took to heart the love let

Whelp. That was awesome. Never heard of the author (although maybe the title seemed vaguely familiar). But I read this book simultaneously with the last book I reviewed. Well, I had actually listened to the last book and read this one, (meaning, actu ...more

Awesome. I’ve read a dozen or so books that danced around the topic of the Fermi Paradox, but this one is possibly the one I most enjoyed. It’s not as narrowly focused on the topic itself, as it mostly is the author mostly musing about Science-Fictio ...more

Welp, as I said before. If I don't recall the book existing, let alone me reading it, then it gets three stars. It might not seem fair to books I've rated lower, but I figure if I remember that I didn't like it it, well, then it was memorably bad. Th ...more

New rule, or maybe an existing one that I forgot I had. If I don’t remember anything about a book at all. Like, a complete blank in my mind where there should be thoughts about it, then it gets 3 stars.

I figure I should at least remember that I’d re

I enjoyed this novel enough that I may read the next installment in the series. It’s borderline for me, but, you know, we’ll see.

Actually, I think I enjoyed this more than I realized. I’m conflating this novel with the movie I watched recently, whic

You know, posting. review in Goodreads is getting harder each time I try. This is attempt number two for this one. I mean, is Goodreads for real doing this on purpose? How can it be so hard, after I hit "Post" for what I wrote to post?

Look, I’ve learned this week after getting a new laptop that the web version of Goodreads is un-fucking-usable. Is that going to be a problem for me going forward?

Yes. Can’t write reviews well using my phone. I can’t write them well any other way eit
