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
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
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.

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
