Another Great Tale

Revisado: 11-12-24

Action, adventure, humor, and some social discussion starters all wrapped up in one. Not a part of any of his (fantastic) series, so feel free to free to read it on its own.

Abby von Normal, Best Audiobook Character (like ever!)

Revisado: 03-31-22

The final installment in the best vampire series in literary history.

The greatest voice actor ever, reading one of my favorite authors, finishing up an amazing trilogy that is laugh out loud funny without being corny or ridiculous. And we’re talking about vampires in San Francisco with a teenage Emo minion, and somehow it’s not ridiculous.

Queso, if you haven’t read Bloodsucking Fiends, start there, right, ‘cause it’s like a true three part story and stuff. Not for kids, but a great read.

“The South Dakota of her ass” and other great lines

Revisado: 02-15-22

If you were to ask me if this is actually and really a modern day Nabokov meets Billy Budd with a slice of Robertson Davies thrown i. For good measure I would have to give you an emphatic and honest “I don’t know” because I’ve never read any of those authors. But I did listen to this book, and it’s a wonderful modern tragedy (not a spoiler, the main character’s death is previewed in the first minute) that is somehow kept almost light-hearted by the author’s sense of humor and voracious appetite for musical references and puns. You can tell that he’s spent his life behind a variety of keyboards. It’s real, it’s human (but I like it anyway), and it’s engaging and doggone it, it’s enjoyable.

Delightfully Strange

A wonderful romp through the strange world that makes you really want to buy a few pints and while away a few hours with Master Rankin.

An entertaining masterclass in Hip Hop technique, culture and history

Revisado: 10-15-21

Whether you’re looking to kick off a career as an MC or just want a better appreciation for Hip Hop music and culture, Agent 23 breaks it down without dumbing it down. With additional first hand history and insight provided by Grandmaster Caz, this book provides a unique view into all of the skills required to write and perform along with a perspective on the culture developed through his unique experiences traveling the globe. From West Africa to Scandinavia to First Nation Australia to New Orleans and Brooklyn, the history and influences that Agent 23 reveals are fascinating and amazingly entertaining.

This is not your average audiobook, as Agent 23 takes advantage of the audio format to mix story with song and truly serve justice to his topic. I’ll be looking on Apple Music next for the soundtrack!
