Book Review: Deus Ex by Miles Watson
Many men dream of becoming gods. Magnus Antonius Magnus achieved this dream, conquering half the globe and ruling it with an iron fist. Now, however, he is learning a painful lesson: gods, like men, can go too far. They can blunder. They can even fall. But does the story of Magnus end with the destruction of his empire…or is that where it begins?

An Introduction to the Biblical World
The beginning of the Bible coincidentally starts with the beginning of all creation which is portrayed in two separate accounts that differ in construction, theology, style, and illustration. Surprisingly, Genesis 2–3 is the earliest of the two accounts possibly written as late as 1000 B.C. Confirming this is that Genesis 2–3 holds themes and ideas found in many creation myths from the surrounding regions of the fertile crescent (i.e. humans formed from the earth, humans’ relation to the divine, etc..). Genesis 1 on the other hand has an ordered and simplified construction and was written around 600–500 B.C.

Science Fiction and Fantasy Stories that I Wish I Could Have Loved
Recently, I wrote an article listing a few stories that took me by surprise. In the article, I talked about how sometimes I would select a book to read after doing a great deal of research, and at other times I would select books blindly and start reading them without knowing anything about the story or its characters. When I do the latter, I get to find treasures in unexpected places and that was what the last article was all about. Nevertheless, in situations when I take care of my reading after performing extensive research into the books, their authors, and their stories, there is no assurance that I will end up loving the tale. There have been a couple of instances where I could not get into the story even after multiple attempts and finally realized that the story was not for me.

Science Fiction and Fantasy Stories that Surprised Me
I gather my book recommendations from a variety of sources. The internet is a great place where one can find a whole bunch of people talking about their reading experiences. One can readily find almost everything - synopsis, summary, and reviews - about a book on the internet. There are times when I have received recommendations from my friends, my family, my peers, and sometimes even from strangers whom I have met in bookshops. Upon receiving these suggestions, there are times when I select a book after doing a considerable amount of research - reading the synopsis, reading about the author, and reading multiple reviews of the book. This drill is repeated several times especially when I am picking up an author whose work I have not read before. But then there are also occasions when I have picked books without doing any background research. And when I do that, I start reading the book without any expectations. Obviously, I do expect to enjoy the book, but other than that I try not to raise my hopes very much.
