Revelation Space by Alastair Reynolds
Hundreds of thousands of years ago, an ancient race of sentient aliens known as the Amarantin went extinct just as their civilization experienced a golden age. No one knows why, but archeologist Dan Sylveste is determined to find out. Unlike the other colonists on the remote planet of Resurgam, he believes that the answer may… Continue reading Revelation Space by Alastair Reynolds
Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen
I think the first line of this novel sums it up better than I ever could: It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife. I’ve been familiar with the story of Pride and Prejudice for a long time, but this… Continue reading Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen
Some quick updates
It’s been a while since I’ve written for this blog…and it’s probably going to be a while before I write again.

If I were a character in Twilight…
I don’t know why I did this, but I saw it while wasting time on the internet and somehow suckered myself into it. Judging from all the advertising crap I had to go through just to get this result, I’m probably going to be spammed to high heaven for the next ten years. Fortunately, all… Continue reading If I were a character in Twilight…

New About page
Traffic to this blog has been picking up a bit, and I decided it’s time to change my “about” page. This was the old one: In some ways, I live a double life. By day, I study Political Science and Arabic at Brigham Young University in Provo, Utah, but by night I’m an aspiring writer… Continue reading New About page
