I’m grumpy. I read books. I write about them.
Embedded Files
I’m just an old man who found out a long time ago that the world is loud, but a good book is quiet. I don't care about "aesthetic" bookshelves or what’s trending on social media. I care about Sci-Fi that makes my brain hurt, mysteries that feel like a warm blanket, and stories that actually have something to say.
If you’re looking for a cheerful influencer, you’ve taken a wrong turn. If you want an honest take on a good story and the occasional bit of "funny stuff," pull up a chair. Just don’t expect me to make small talk.

Coffee, Cold Mornings and Dostoevsky - "White Nights"
As the leaves start to change and that first crisp cold of autumn shows up, my mind always turns to Fyodor Dostoevsky. I know - I'm a glutton for punishment. I like to put my robe on, grab a cup of coffee, sit on my couch in our sun room and dig into this grand inquisitor of the soul's books. White Nights is my go-to recommendation for anyone new to him. It’s a short, heartbreakingly beautiful story that captures a feeling we all know, but rarely see portrayed with such tenderness: profound loneliness.
