Reading Corner

You've found a spot to sit and read! I like to read science fiction, fantasy, and a mix of other things. I track my reading on the social booktracking app Bookworm Reads (Me: @roboreck). I'll also keep track of books I've read on this shelf here!

20,000 Leagues Under the Sea

Jules Verne

20,000 Leagues Under the Sea

An undersea adventure cataloging the imagined culture of an intelligent, rich submarine crew and the creatures that inhabit our oceans, with some creative liberties. I love these characters!

I read 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea at a time when I felt myself drowning. Captain Nemo's Nautilus offered me a place to rest and imagine a life lived learning and exploring for the sake of it. I need it :)

This was really fun!

The Book of Merlyn

T.H. White

The Book of Merlyn

What forms as a supplemental finale to the story of King Arthur as told by T.H. White really acts as an exploration in of morality in any time. The cast of characters spans from woodland creature we know and love from the Sword in the Stone to Merlyn himself. All of whom offer opinions and perspectives on various moral conflicts and whereabouts the world is heading.

Where I found comfort and joy in the escapades of Arthur and his friends in The Once and Future King, here I found engaging, passionate discussion from animals of our world about what it means to be good. White expresses his disparagement for violence and discusses how abhorrent it is that members of the same species would kill each other. I'd reccomend this book if you like Merlyn's character as written by White, and I believe it serves as a good afterlife to The Once and Future King.

I'll add more books as I read them!
Go read something!
