Book Review: The Trauma Machine

What if you could fix everything broken in your life before it happened?

Nate Johnson spends most of his time ruminating about what might have been. The charitable categorize the Nate-experience as There, but for the grace of God, go I. And the rest throw him into the pile of people they see every day and never give a second thought.

One day, Nate begrudgingly accepts a legacy gift, a semi-coherent manuscript which describes a mechanism to construct and enter a secret pathway. It’s a portal to undo what seemingly can’t be undone. All he has to do is decipher the manuscript and build The Trauma Machine. Then he can go back, correct the past, and return to the present.

What could have been will become what is. Simple.

Book Review: The Shithead

Eric Bauer—son, husband, father, and small business owner—is slowly losing his grip on reality. Drowning in debt and a never-ending to-do list, he finally catches a break.

To trade the torment of barely scraping by for the riches of Nashville's elite Pinnacle Club, he only needs to keep doing what he's been doing since college. Lie.

Playing fast and loose with the truth is the easy part. What's hard for The Shithead is figuring out how to build a meaningful life in a meaningless world.
