The Bible
In all fairness, the Bible is the only book of the trilogy I’ve read. Mostly because the beginning is a recap of the first. I have not read the third book, mainly because I wasn’t terribly impressed with the Bible. Lots of continuity errors. Also, the book clubs get weird.

Calvin and Hobbs
These books were a godsend for a lonely, only child. I can’t think of a character I connected with more as a child. A precocious only child, check. His main company is his stuffed animal, check. Spends most of his day lost in his imagination, check. Thank you Bill Watterson.

X-Men: The Animated Series
Let’s be honest, X-Men: The Animated Series made the Marvel Cinematic Universe what it is. If this show didn’t exist, they’re would have been far less hype over the X-Men movie in 2000. This show was amazing from the theme song, to every plot line. We love and miss it.

The Managerial Revolution
There are few books that have had such a large influence on my life. The Managerial Revolution by James Burnham is one of the few that have changed my life's trajectory entirely. It is a fascinating, insightful, and contemporaneous look at the conflict between Fascism, Communism, and the New Deal.

Extremely Bad
Have you ever been asked, “What’s the worst book you’ve read?” I am often asked this when people find out my passion for literature. I always answer the same: Extreme Ownership by Jocko Willink. This book is exhaustingly unreadable. I stopped after the second chapter. I want my time back.

The Wager: A tale of shipwreck, mutiny and murder
The Wager is a book about a boat called The Wager. It’s a good book and they’re planning on turning it into a movie. It’s about an aggressive captain. The crew hates him and mutiny’s against him, and the mutineers kill anyone loyal to him. It is a true story.

MrBeast AKA MrMoney
YouTube's biggest name. I must say this guy could as well be the face of the entire platform! From his challenges to giving out wads of cash, this guy is so rich, he is giving it all away! This makes me ponder how does MrBeast do his taxes? I bet his accountants are losing their minds as I write these words.

Vocal
You weren’t my first. Probably not my last. But of all the others' past, you’re the one that’s lasted. Vocal, you’re the best writing platform I have found so far. You’ve helped me grow. You’ve made me mad. You’ve made me smile. You’ve made me the writer I am today.

The Giving Tree
The Giving Tree is all we need. It will make you laugh and cry. It will make your heart bleed. Published in 1964. Forever a work we will adore. Not many words. Not many needed. When we learned to care for a tree. We learned more than we ever needed.

~Fahrenheit 451!~ Telling the Truth!
~Fahrenheit 451!~ Young Ray uses machine imagery to construct the setting & environment of the book, making it masculine in form and attraction. There is no thought of invitation to Women as readers in his world! Ironically, this only leaves me with the recommendation to stick to his TV Show!

A Game of Thrones: A Critique
The "Game of Thrones" TV show series captivated audiences with its intricate politics and fantasy world, but its rushed final season disappointed fans who craved satisfying character arcs. The swift resolution of long-standing conflicts overshadowed the series' rich storytelling, leaving viewers wanting more coherence and depth in the concluding episodes.
