Having entertained the idea for years, and even offered a few questionable opportunities ("It's a piece of cake! Just do four hours of interviews, find someone else to write it, put your face on the cover, and voila!") I have decided to tell these stories just as I have always done, in my own voice.

The immensely talented Dave Groll has met and made music with the most amazing eclectic musicians the world will ever hear. Reading this made me jealously joyous.

We live in a world that’s obsessed with talent. We celebrate gifted students in school, natural athletes in sports, and child prodigies in music. But admiring people who start out with innate advantages leads us to overlook the distance we ourselves can travel. We underestimate the range of skills that we can learn and how good we can become. We can all improve at improving. And when opportunity doesn’t knock, there are ways to build a door.

Data on motivation and ability never sounded so encouraging and eye opening. The author finds relatable ways to give the reader insights on our misunderstandings on how good managers work or how to find the best workers.

Simple and fun prequel to the D&D movie. The book does a good job preparing the characters for what happens in the beginning of the movie.

An honest story about a trans woman of color. This book will help as a guide for anyone with those intersections. As someone who does not identify with any of those identities, I learned a lot about these experiences and have more appreciation for all transgender individuals.

And he's just been awakened to find himself millions of miles from home, with nothing but two corpses for company.

Human connection in the digital age
Reviewed: 12-28-22
Less of an 80s appreciation book and more of everything geeky this time. Less about a lone hero falling in love and more about the ensemble cast. A refreshing sequel which learns from the mistakes of the first book. And cmon! Will Wheaton does the reading again!

Whoever is first to solve them will inherit his vast fortune—and control of the OASIS itself.

Super geeky and fun battle against an evil corporation. The movie is noticeably different. You can enjoy the movie and book as separate entities.

Through hard work and, well, tenacity, Jack Black and Kyle Gass catapulted themselves into rock superstardom. But before they were the only two members of the best rock band on earth, they were just Jack and Kyle, two theater students finding their footing in Los Angeles. The D’s trajectory was a slow and steady rise from clubs to a guest spot on the hit show Mr. Show on HBO to albums to film to headlining festivals across the globe. But it wasn’t without its pains. This is their story. These are their Words + Music.

If you’re a fan of the D you need to listen. If you’re a fan of jack black, you need to listen. If you like rock music, you need to listen. My only wish is that there is more music, at least I can listen to Tenacious D’s albums whenever I want!
