Iedereen is welkom - schilders en bergbeklimmers, mystici en dichters, ranchers en socialites, bomhells en phi-listines, soldaten en activisten, nieuwkomers en oldtimers - op voorwaarde dat hun verhalen de geest verheffen, de geest inspireren of een nieuwe kijk op de wereld uitlokken. Deze innemende, democratische impuls verbindt de teNeues All-American serie kunsttijdschriften, die de afgelopen 14 jaar is samengesteld door fotograaf en filmmaker Bruce Weber.

Dit jaar, in zijn 15e jubileumnummer, gaat Weber verder met zijn verkenning van de Amerikaanse cultuur - het verhevene en het alledaagse, het beroemde en het obscure. Onderwerpen zijn onder andere een lange portfolio van Weber zelf, die het kruispunt onderzoekt tussen het gevangenisleven en het gemeenschapsleven in de kleine zuidelijke stad Richmond, Virginia.

De paradox van immigratie in Amerika - tegelijk de ziel en het schisma van de republiek - komt op unieke wijze tot uiting in de fotomemoires van Misa Rusek, een onverschrokken tachtigjarige wiens familiereis begint in het Japan van rond de eeuwwisseling en vandaag verdergaat in Israël, met herinneringen aan het naoorlogse Californië en New York tussendoor. Een tweede verhaal van Bruce Weber gaat in op het sportieve leven in een profiel van Gordon Gronkowski, die zijn vijf zonen opleidde tot professionele football- en honkbalspelers.

Een eerbetoon aan de lyrische Amerikaanse schilderes Jane Wilson staat in contrast met het stoere stoïcisme van Ben Johnson, een rancher die acteur werd bij Sam Peckinpah en John Ford. All-American XV bevat een originele opdracht van de jonge fotoster Mike Bailey Gates, documentair werk van Stephen Shapiro en Andrew Renneisen en poëzie van Don Blanding.

A Fun and Wild Ride
Format: Kindle
Two brothers in arms go on amazing adventures, face impossible odds, and grow in ways they never expected. Down to earth, humble, and relatable characters with a continuously evolving storyline, what more could you ask for? Cool weapons and abilities? Epic battles? Magic? Yeah, it’s got all that too. This series just became a must read on my LitRPG recommendation list.

Excellent Parallel Worlds and Xianxia Story
Format: Kindle
The story follows two affable characters, Rugrat and Eric. Rugrat is a wonderfully written redneck and Erik plays the role of an exasperated and loyal brother in arms. The two main characters interactions between each other bring interesting banter to the different parts of the story that other wise progress too slowly. It’s a cultivation novel and the main characters often take a great deal of time learning more about the system and how they can leverage its powers. The magic system in world combines well with the parallel world aspect, and the main characters thrive in their new environment. The stats, like in many other stories in this genre, serve as relatively arbitrary plot pieces that could be easily handled without the stats. The potential for growth and the magic systems interesting interactions with modern technology makes the magic satisfying to read about. My favorite aspect of the story so far is the clashing of the honorable soldier mentality with the “might makes right” philosophy of martial arts cultivation novels. Though it’s clear the author heavily favors one philosophy over the other. A great read, and an excellent novel to enjoy as an audiobook.

Xianxia-inspired novel I can actually read
Format: Kindle
I've read (or attempted to read) several wuxia/xianxia stories in the past. This is probably the best of that genre that I've tried. I know, such a titillating opening statement, but hear me out: this story is very good. NOT great, but not the typical "my eyes wish to bleed from my skull" experience, either. Most Chinese fantasy is bad. I wish that were not so, hence me trying to find good stories. In general, the stories don't make a lot of sense, and the grammar and repetitive phrasing makes the translations a generally terrible experience. Coming from a background of looking at college student papers, I've had my fill of bad grammar and poor sentence structure; I don't need more. With an English speaking author at the helm, however, this was a pleasant ride. There were a few grammatical errors but nothing to get my pants in a twist over. The story mostly makes sense, with only the two main characters occasionally speaking like locals throwing me off a bit, as well as the two of them growing so used to elements of their surroundings and quest rewards. It just felt a little unnatural in places. My biggest gripe is how they suddenly sprout knowledge of city planning and infrastructure. That really felt out of character, and came out of left field. Other than that, I think this was a solid first entry for this series.

Great great great but …..
Format: Kindle
Before I get into the meat and potatoes of this review this is a five star book. I have to say that starting out it is a five star book now rarely is a book absolutely perfect don’t get me wrong there are some classics in this genre or others that are just perfect now since this is the first book in the series it’s not perfect there are some points where concepts could’ve been made clear there are some points where things run a little long arcs in the story run a little long but overall it’s a 10. Imagine you going to a five star immaculate restaurant you sit down to eat and the waiter brings you your food they make one mistake they spill a drop of wine on the tablecloth is that a big deal no does it diminish the experience no but you notice it. Same thing here. No onto some specifics 10 realms has a great progression system two dynamic MC’s and a sort of bro shooter story. That’s what you get here and you get lots of that here. When you finish the book you’re going to want to move onto the next so you know it’s a great book now there are times when the story slows down it goes a little too slow in the middle of the book again you could flip through and to be past it but ultimately you can read through it and you will be better for it. Is it that bad no not really but you do notice it. Once the story really picks back up your back into it and like I said you’re going to want to continue it. Since it is the first book in the series I can understand this problem I’d like many others look forward to seeing what is next.
