As you might guess from my Books page, I read/listen to a lot of books. It became apparent that I needed a way to track all of these books, basically just for my own sanity. I’m not sure if you are like me but when you read this many books, I really don’t remember all
While I wouldn’t call this year’s reading pace sedate, it definitely felt more relaxed, so that was great. Almost all the books I read this year were continuations of a series I had already started. The challenge with reading book 3 or 4 of whatever, is it’s often been years since I started the series
After last year, I wanted to slow my reading progress and hopefully find more joy in it, rather feeling like a hamster on a wheel. Of course, that’s not really how it turned out. For whatever reason, I flew through quite a few books early in the year and things just went from there. Like
I thought I might do a smaller/quicker post about Bob’s trip from Earth to Saturn before he heads out to Epsilon Eridani.

The specs indicated that the ship could run at 2g indefinitely with no ill effects, which would get me to my target star
Welcome to The Bobiverse – Explained. I, like you, am a big fan of Dennis E Taylor’s Bobiverse books, well, the first three at least. Since Dennis writes in the genre known as hard science fiction, I thought it would be fun to write a series of blog posts that explore the science behind the
Sorry for the really large header images but one can’t get enough of these amazing photos taken by the James Webb Space Telescope.
While 2021 was another sucky year with respect to all that’s happening in the world, it will definitely go down as my all-time book reading record, with well over 100 books read this year. Sadly, the Pinterest widget only displays the last 50 pins in a board, so you’ll see less than half the books
2020 was another good reading year for me with 64 books read. While this post comes late, better late than never in some cases. It was challenging to choose 3 favourites from the past year. While there were many good books, not as many stood out strongly as they had the year before. Possibly the
