Brig and Tiff

While we are nowhere near the completion of our journey, I realized we are engaged in a greater discovery period than we ever realized. We are discovering more about ourselves as parents, lovers, friends, guests, and the list goes on and on.     I […]

We stumbled onto an article the other day listing the top 100 comedy films of all time. I disagreed with the selection, and placement, of many films on that list. It is moments like these, I wish I had never set foot in academia. My brain [...]

Not a complete waste of time, but I saw this coming. I wish I could give this 2.5 stars. Two is a bit harsh, three is far too generous. I thought most of the character development was decent, given how concise it was. Certain aspects, […]

Epic. Dark. Realistic. I was amazed at how true to life this story seemed. I have no personal experience in the cartel world, but what little I know seems to coincide with this narrative. If not for the voice and distinctive style of fiction, you […]

This is the most hilarious, and accurate, representation of the douche-opolis we call earth. Eyre writes in a way that makes you feel like you’re listening to a buddy describe the megadouche they just ran into. This is a perfect gift for your friends and […]

This book was fascinating. What’s more? It was not nearly as dry as I thought it would be. Hazleton delivers the information with a narrative arc while chronicling the events that lead to the split between Sunni and Shia Islam. I fully appreciated the light […]

Misery was truly terrifying. Often, I found myself taking my eyes off the page just to breathe heavily, almost reorienting myself to reality. Annie Wilkes may represent the most terrifying and realistic portrayal of an antagonist I could ever imagine. I loved that the protagonist was […]

This was an incredibly quick read. It appears Martin Meadows has made his mark publishing bite-sized summations of more robust research. While his detractors call this cheap, I disagree, calling it well-achieved. Everything in this book was a reminder. Nothing was new or revelatory and […]

BRIG's REVIEW: Is a 0.5-star rating available? I hated this book. I took as much as I could handle, then I had my wife summarize the details I missed. Despite a distillation of Kogan's laborious prose, even my wife's more patient (and more empathetic) retelling [...]
