I have been struggling with finding a good book series to read, while waiting for the conclusions to two of my favorite fantasy series, the Song of Fire & Ice Saga and the Wheel of Time series. These series are so involved and detailed, that I have become spoiled with the indepth character development, intriguing [...]

What am I reading? Tony Dungy’s Autobiography: Quiet Strength
Posted in What am I reading? on July 17, 2008 | 2 Comments »
I have always rooted for Tony Dungy because he was a successful African American assistant coach in the NFL who wasn’t getting any opportunities to be a head coach. I think a part of that was his seemingly quiet and reserved persona, which goes against the stereotypes of a NFL head coach, but some of it [...]

The Jackal of Nar is a fantasy book by John Marco. This is his first book, and so far I can tell he is a rookie. Much of his writing seems like it was written by a young adolescent. The story is okay. The book is about a newly raised king who is forced by the Emperor [...]

The 11 novels in the series follows his quest to unite his [...]
