Many a man would have even blazoned such irregularities as I was guilty of; but from the high views that I had set before me, I regarded and hid them with an almost morbid sense of shame. It was thus rather the exacting nature of my aspirations, than any particular degradation in my faults, that … Continue reading Short Story Review: Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde by RL Stephenson

Book Review: Captain Corelli’s Mandolin by Louis de Bernieres
I am not a cynic, but I do know that history is the propaganda of the victors. I know that if we win the war there will be shocking stories of British atrocities, volumes written to show the inevitability and justice of our cause, irrefutable evidence compiled to reveal the conspiracies of Jewish plutocrats, photographs … Continue reading Book Review: Captain Corelli’s Mandolin by Louis de Bernieres

I've spent 2 years working on it. And below is the abstract to help you know if you want to continue reading the 55,000 word … Continue reading Shameless Self-Promotion
Book Review: Pride & Prejudice by Jane Austen
Mr. Collins, moreover, adds: "I am truly rejoiced that my cousin Lydia's sad business has been so well hushed up, and am only concerned that their living together before the marriage took place, should be so generally known. I must not, however, neglect the duties of my station, or refrain from declaring my amazement, at … Continue reading Book Review: Pride & Prejudice by Jane Austen

CD Review: Good Monsters by Jars of Clay
I have no fear of drowning, it's the breathing that's taking all this work ~ Work - Jars of Clay While this is not a music page, I decided this weekend that I'd had enough of my current music collection and went on a binge, buying 7 CD's, though one is an early Christmas gift … Continue reading CD Review: Good Monsters by Jars of Clay
Book Review: God in the Alley by Greg Paul
Hosea's love for Gomer was very human. Her betrayals made him crazy with grief and anger and prompted him to issue extravagant promises of revenge. He'd pout that she "went after her lovers, but me she forgot." And in the next breath he'd "allure her...speak tenderly to her," then he'd runt out and pay her … Continue reading Book Review: God in the Alley by Greg Paul
Book Review: Bono in Conversation with Michka Assayas
You mean you're too busy doing things to understand who you really are. I will say this: there's a noise that you see on the surface, a kind of certain frenetic hyperactive person doing lots of things, with lots of interests and ideas that I'm chasing. But below that, really, at the very bottom of … Continue reading Book Review: Bono in Conversation with Michka Assayas
Book Review: Prozac Nation by Elizabeth Wurtzel
I think to myself: I have finally gotten so impossible and unpleasant that they will really have to do something to make me better. And then I realize, they think they are doing all they can and it's not working. They have no idea what a bottomless pit of misery I am. They will have … Continue reading Book Review: Prozac Nation by Elizabeth Wurtzel
Book Review: Through Painted Deserts by Donald Miller
“Life is a dance toward God, I begin to think. And the dance is not so graceful as we might want. While we glide and swing our practiced sway, God crowds our feet, bumps our toes, and scuffs our shoes. So we learn to dance with the One who made us. And it is … Continue reading Book Review: Through Painted Deserts by Donald Miller
