After defeating a demon and a powerful sorcerer in the process of investigating some bizarre murders in Storm Front, Jim Butcher charges into book 2 at full throttle. In Fool Moon, Dresden finds himself up against another type of supernatural creature – this time it is werewolves. And where the first book saw a slow schism forming between Dresden and his friend in the police force, this book slowly brings them back together. Read more “Fool Moon”

Back to Normal – OW!
The good news is that after 6 days, my wife is finally home from the hospital. The lesion on her knee is shrinking and she is slowly regaining normal mobility. The bad news is that I now have a small lesion on my arm. I can’t exactly sit here and blame her – in hindsight I was likely the carrier to begin with. I had already had a couple such lesions that I dealt with and moved on. Maybe it is something that I inherited from my father, but it didn’t really occur to me to seek medical attention over the matter. I was acutely aware of the wounds (they seemed like nasty boils) and I would monitor them, treat them as it seemed appropriate, and at times when I considered that I might need to actually see someone about it, I’d decide to wait another day to see if it got better.

Mr. Mom
I apologize to those few readers I have for my sporadic and infrequent posting as of late.

Redeeming Factors
After taking a hiatus last season due to the writer’s strike, 24 is back. And so far in my opinion it is opening strong. Jack Bauer is back in action doing things only he can get away with doing. Read more “Redeeming Factors”
Storm Front
As I previously stated, I plan to review all of the books that I have read in The Dresden Files series and will add more reviews as I continue to read the series. The first book in this series by Jim Butcher is entitled Storm Front. In Storm Front, we are introduced to Harry Dresden. Harry is a fairly normal guy – slightly above average intelligence, generally self-confident and self-made – living in modern-day Chicago. He lives in a modest apartment, works out of a small, rented office space where he does business in private investigation as well as police consultation. Only, Harry isn’t a normal P.I. – he’s a wizard. Read more “Storm Front”
