Stargate: The Movie
Do you like sci-fi? Do you like archaeology? What about Egyptology and little ancient aliens? You know, before it became popular. That is what we got in the 1994 classic, Stargate. Starring James Spader and Kurt Rusell, this cinematic epic launched one of the best sci-fi franchises of the 90s.

The Bible
In all fairness, the Bible is the only book of the trilogy I’ve read. Mostly because the beginning is a recap of the first. I have not read the third book, mainly because I wasn’t terribly impressed with the Bible. Lots of continuity errors. Also, the book clubs get weird.

Calvin and Hobbs
These books were a godsend for a lonely, only child. I can’t think of a character I connected with more as a child. A precocious only child, check. His main company is his stuffed animal, check. Spends most of his day lost in his imagination, check. Thank you Bill Watterson.

X-Men: The Animated Series
Let’s be honest, X-Men: The Animated Series made the Marvel Cinematic Universe what it is. If this show didn’t exist, they’re would have been far less hype over the X-Men movie in 2000. This show was amazing from the theme song, to every plot line. We love and miss it.

The Managerial Revolution
There are few books that have had such a large influence on my life. The Managerial Revolution by James Burnham is one of the few that have changed my life's trajectory entirely. It is a fascinating, insightful, and contemporaneous look at the conflict between Fascism, Communism, and the New Deal.

Extremely Bad
Have you ever been asked, “What’s the worst book you’ve read?” I am often asked this when people find out my passion for literature. I always answer the same: Extreme Ownership by Jocko Willink. This book is exhaustingly unreadable. I stopped after the second chapter. I want my time back.

The towering glass facade reflected the aspirations of its employees, each individual entrusting their career and future to the company's visionary leader. But behind the gleaming exterior, a storm was brewing, one that would test the resilience of those who believed in the promise of success.

Hamlet
Shakespeare's creation, damaged by Hamlet's instability. Unfortunate defect — overthinking — postpones activity. Spooky retribution slows down in reflection. Wit amazes, yet now and again muddles. In spite of splendor, a soil of wavering weakens the magnum opus' strength.

The Wager: A tale of shipwreck, mutiny and murder
The Wager is a book about a boat called The Wager. It’s a good book and they’re planning on turning it into a movie. It’s about an aggressive captain. The crew hates him and mutiny’s against him, and the mutineers kill anyone loyal to him. It is a true story.
