I'm almost positive I'd read this book once before, only because vague snippets came back to my remembrance as I listened, and also because it popped up in my audio library... and yet, somehow, I recalled almost none of it. This was a surprise, considering it's exactly the type of story that should ...

  I love Kenley Davidson's books. I can always count on them to be clean, semi-lighthearted action--it's all intended to be serious, but not so gripping that I can't go to sleep afterwards, so they're great to wind down at the end of the night. This story was very unique for the genre, I ...

Absolutely brilliant, like all of C.S. Lewis's non-fiction. He is, hands-down, my favorite modern philosopher. He had this incredibly precise way of thinking, combined with an excellent command of language, such that he could nail down precise definitions and make distinctions that would seem fuzzy ...

So endearing and delightful! I'm not sure I even knew there was an actual book version of Winnie-the-Pooh--in my mind, he was kind of like Garfield, where various episodes existed here and there in various forms of media, but there wasn't one single definitive text that started it all. This ...

One of the questions was, ...

This was so good that after listening to it, I bought the kindle version so that I can highlight and take notes, and then journal about some of the points he makes to glean deeper insight and solidify the concepts. It's interesting to me that I liked it so much now, since a few years ago when ...

I read this many years ago, and gave it an easy 5 stars then as I recall... but, I read a paper copy rather than listening to it as I did this time, and I also read an abridged version the first time, whereas this time I listened to the entire unabridged version. Even so, it started off as quickly ...

I discovered Dr Lisle in a YouTube video in which he expounded on the concept of the Mandelbrot set, and connected it and other fractals to actual forms in nature, concluding that God thinks in mathematical terms. I'd actually researched the concept of fractal images appearing in nature myself about ...

One of Jane Austen's best! This time I listened to the version narrated by Rosamund Pike, who did a wonderful job. I hadn't read it in a long time, though I remember the film version quite well. I just love how Austen manages to create such vivid characters, trusting the understanding of the ...
