Does anyone else have difficulty separating the author from the book? I prefer to know little or nothing about the author of a book before I start reading it. This equally applies to roleplaying books and it’s a roleplaying book that I’m having difficulty at the moment separating the creator (and his/her actions/opinions) from the […]

One feature… that is all that is missing from Adobe Acrobat Reader. The ability to bookmark the position you last stopped reading. It’s simple really, it doesn’t even have to modify the file.

Over the holidays, I read a weak fantasy book called Prospero’s Children (by Jan Siegel published in 2000). It was one of the many second hand books I picked up before I left. It isn’t very good, well at least I didn’t think so. But the world and mythos it created screamed parallels with Mage […]

I wrote up a review for Redbrick.books of “The Conscious Universe” by Dean Radin. I wonder will it provoke any discussion on the boards though?
