(An unofficial Minecraft book) - Books 1 2 & 3

Review:I am actually reading your review. I've read every single review for ALL of Cube Kid's books.
For what you said in your shout out, the real Herobrine already took that spot. But I can make you like Pebble or Cogboggle. The only problem I have is that my book takes place in the Nether. So you'd have to be a Nether mob. Either a blaze, pigman, magma cube, wither skeleton, witch,(I know, thats not a Nether mob, but in my Minecraftia the witches move to the Nether to avoid conflict)skeleton, or e... Read more

A Feel Good Guide to Staying Fat - Lazy and Stupid

Review:I used to really like Dennis Leary. His “No Cure for Cancer” album was something that I listened to a lot, and could recite the routines and sing the songs by heart.

But that was the 90s. Maybe it was a backlash to the perceived PC movement or something, but what worked for him on that album is car... Read more

The Brotherhood of the Screaming Abyss

Review:There are a number of reasons why this project had to be crowdfunded instead of supported by a legitimate publisher. It's just not very good. It's going to be interesting only to people who are already big "fans" of Terrance McKenna to the point that they're interested in a lot of minutiae about the relationship between the two brothers. Otherwise. really not interesting or well written. Read more

Review:I struggle to find #ownvoices autistic main characters in contemporary realistic books for adults, so when I heard about this book, I bought it immediately.

Pattern Recognition and Machine Learning (Information Science and Statistics)

Review:It's hard to figure out who would actually benefit from this book - it amounts to seven hundred pages of equations interrupted by blocks of text that fail to provide any intuition whatever for the techniques they are describing, and the occasional graph which is remarkable in the universe of graphs as being scarcely more informative than the equations it is meant to illustrate.

Seriously, you have to wonder wtf Bishop thought he was doing here. As a catalog of equations for people who al... Read more
