Title: Treasure Island Author: Robert Louis Stevenson Published: 1883 For a very long time, I've steered clear of books that are considered classic literature. In most cases, I'm sure it's out of a fear that somehow my 11th grade American Lit. teacher will appear from nowhere and expect me to write an exhaustive paper on … Continue reading Treasure Island

Firestarter
Title: Firestarter Author: Stephen King Published: 1980 I feel like I've been reading this book forever. I started it about six months ago and have just been picking at it here and there when I feel like I've had time in between other things I've been reading and dealing with work stuff. I'm usually a … Continue reading Firestarter
A Million Miles in a Thousand Years
Title: A Million Miles in a Thousand Years Author: Donald Miller Published: 2011 Donald Miller made a splash in the world of Christian non-fiction with his bestseller Blue Like Jazz. I never read it. But I know it was a big hit among folks in my age group at the time. For a long time, … Continue reading A Million Miles in a Thousand Years
Safe Haven
Title: Safe Haven Author: Nicholas Sparks Published: 2010 Listening to True Believer renewed my interest in Nicholas Sparks. It's not like I have fuzzy feelings toward the guy, but I was just in the mood to pick up another of his books. So I picked up this one. The story opens up on Katie. She's … Continue reading Safe Haven
True Believer
Title: True Believer Author: Nicholas Sparks Published: 2005 I know what I said after I read At First Sight. I said I was done with Nicholas Sparks. I said that I hated the man and that I was stupid for continually picking up his novels and subjecting myself to the torture of reading them. But … Continue reading True Believer
I Am Number Four
Title: I Am Number Four Author: Pittacus Lore Published: 2010 I've been reading this book for a while now. I know that, for the most part, when it takes a long time to read a book, it means that the book isn't holding my attention. It isn't causing me to turn page after page to … Continue reading I Am Number Four
The Time Machine
Title: The Time Machine Author: H. G. Wells Published: 1895 I've never read this book before now. And I'm a little disappointed in myself for that fact. After all, I find the subject of time travel to be a fascinating idea. This is obvious because so many of my favorite movies and TV shows deal … Continue reading The Time Machine
The Lost World
Title: The Lost World Author: Michael Crichton Published: 1995 I never read this as a kid, unlike its predecessor, Jurassic Park. My reasoning? Because I saw the movie first and was supremely disappointed. And even though I know the book is generally better than the movie, I just couldn't bring myself to read this thing. … Continue reading The Lost World
Movies w/ Jeff: Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice
I have a lot to say about this movie. A lot. But that's because I'm slightly biased. If you know me at all, you know that I have been a fan of Superman since shortly after birth, so I was inclined to thoroughly enjoy this film long before it was even announced as being in … Continue reading Movies w/ Jeff: Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice
Jurassic Park
Title: Jurassic Park Author: Michael Crichton Published: 1990 I read this when I was a kid. And as much as I've always loved the film, I thought the book was better. Even at the tender age of 11 or 12, whenever it was that I read it. I picked it up again, thinking that, as … Continue reading Jurassic Park
