I'm a father, husband, web developer, and aspiring to be a lot of things.
My literary interests are mostly science fiction, fantasy, comics, and some occasional programming or parenting books.

This was a very fun read. The science was very engaging, even if some of it was glossed over and a bit unbelievable. But it has compelling characters, and an entertaining storyline.
It's no surprise it's being adapted into a film.
This was physically hard to read sometimes. Black text on a red background on many pages. The visuals were often distracting from the story. I would've preferred it as a short story, rather than a comic.
A middle-aged man returns to his childhood home to attend a funeral. Although the house …
As I was reading this novel, I was pretty sure that the narrator was actually a version of @neilhimself@mastodon.social. The acknowledgement seems to acknowledge this.
The story follows a man in his forties, remembering a fantastic event from his childhood. Most of the novel follows this story, with the main character being a bookish seven year old boy with few friends, who gets trapped in a fight with beings from another reality.
A lot of the story is a commentary on memory, and for some time while reading, I thought that perhaps the entire fantasy story was a memory concocted by the narrator to cope with the shock of discovering his father's infidelity.
It's a quick read and very enjoyable. It would be appropriate for older children, but just as enjoyable for adults.

The Wonderful Wizard of Oz is an American children's novel written by author L. Frank …
It's a decent children's book. If you're an adult, don't expect too much, but it would be great to read to your kids, if you're a parent. If you want entertainment, and slightly fewer platitudes, watch the MGM film.

Has your company struggled to roll EOS out to all levels of your organization? Do …
I read this for my job. This is the program that my company uses to organize all its operations.
Having seen it in operation for the past three months, I can say that why applied well, it can really help a company work well.
I can definitely think of several companies I've worked at before that would have benefited from this program.
Although, I would also say that this definitely only works as part of the effort. This doesn't define company culture, which is also an important part of a functioning company.
It also doesn't seem like a program that would work for a very large company. Several hundred employees would be difficult to organize with EOS, I think.
This volume was better than the first.
The Klingon story was especially good.
The Q story wasn't really anything special. It wasn't much different than any Q episode of TNG.
The Tribble story was very cute.
I was honestly a little disappointed in most of the stories. The description made it sounds like there would be an inside look into these other alien cultures, but most of the chapters involved The Federation's interactions with them.
The standout to me was the Andorian chapter. I thought that was a neat look at Andorian culture.
The Romulan story was also pretty good.
