Contemporary Urban Fantasy

I listened to an audio book for Good Omens and wow, what a funny book. I love the concept of an angel and demon that have been enemies for so long that they’re basically friends. The demon, for one, is the serpent responsible for giving the apple to Adam and Eve and prods fun at the angel that he may have done a good deed in the long run. 
Even without fully understanding all Christian references, this story is very clever and most readers should be able to pick up on most of the jokes. One of my favorite jokes in the beginning is that God made the dinosaur fossils just to fuck with paleontologists.


I love the satyrical approach to everything biblical. As Americans, I’d say even those of us non-Christians have been exposed to plenty of biblical themes and stories, all of which take themselves very seriously, so this is one of the most refreshing tales I’ve seen in a very long time.

Frankenstein by Mary Shelly Mary Shelly is responsible for creating one of the most recognizable horror stories of all time and for that, I highly respect her as an author. However, I'm not the biggest fan of her original writing of Frankenstein.  My opinions on Frankenstein are completely the result of me growing up in a time where this story has been re-told and parodied countless times. I enjoy the tale of Frankenstein in its extremes; whether incredibly dark or a lighthearted parody, doesn’t matter. Mary Shelly’s Frankenstein, though the original tale, simply felt boring to me. I read it before in high school and hardly remembered a thing about it. I figured I would have come around since then but nothing’s changed. I just thought it was rather boring, plain and simple. There were two moments in particular in the writing that frustrated me. The first was a potential plot hole; when Frankenstein’s Monster is giving exposition to Frankenstein he describes his life t

Cyberpunk/Steampunk

This is a weird topic for me because I love cyberpunk but I’m not a fan of steam punk. Very few things have pulled off steam punk for me, most of which are video games and some books. Movies never seem to do it quite right. In terms of reading, the Edge Chronicles was my favorite book series growing up, with crazy monster designs and lovely illustrations to accompany the writing thanks to Chris Riddel. The steam punk attributes to the Edge Chronicles universe actually blended quite nicely, with imaginative airships powered by float stones instead of balloons and unique steam-punky outfits the crews would wear. My favorite example of cyberpunk is Blade Runner, Ridley Scott’s film adaptation of Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep. Everything about it is the definition of cyberpunk—it is so beautifully realized.

The Fiction of Ideas

The idea of using language as a weapon is incredibly bizarre and I wouldn’t have thought a book would try to tackle the concept, but hey, Babel 17 does just that. Now, I have heard of the concept before but only in the video game Metal Gear V: The Phantom Pain where the story was, well, bad. The idea was that a disease of some sort was spread by an underground military group and this disease would respond to a certain language spoken by killing the host. Not a bad idea, but it wasn’t explored to its full potential. At least now I know where Metal Gear potentially got the idea. Babel-17 approaches the “weaponized language” concept in a different direction as it’s more of a boon to the user than a bane. Someone who learns the language Babel-17 has their brain rewired to think in the language, which is so precise that the user can think a mile-a-minute and describe intricate scenes in mere moments. Babel-17 tackles the concept of the self and whether we as people can ever truly un
