Time for book stack two. First the overview: Nice, huh? I actually tried to cut down on flash glare this time. Still not perfect though. These two are both from Permuted Press, purveyor of all things zombie and apocalyptic. I featured two other Permuted Press books in my previous Book Stack post, both were really [...]
For whatever reason I love this photo of General William Tecumseh Sherman. I found it here. 19th century photos, in general, are very compelling. Photography was not something that the masses participated in. Not as taker or subject. Equipment was expensive, bulky, and toxic. Subjects had to remain still for approximately five minutes due to [...]
As my loyal reader(s) will remember I recently acquired a zombie novel as well as collection of zombie novellas. Since this acquisition a few days ago I have been mowing down the printed pages with my sawed off 12 gauge and waistband full of shells. Squeezing off rounds into the center of each page, killing [...]
All the cool kids post to their blog pictures and commentary about the awesome books that they receive. Of course, the cool kids, do not pay for most of the books that they receive since they are reviewers, publishers, and/or publicists. I, on the other hand, pay for my books because I am none of [...]
Kurt Vonnegut’s story Harrison Bergeron has been made into a compelling looking short film called 2081. Unfortunately, I could not find very much information about the film.

BMW Mini – Micro Machine by Carlos62 Here we go, inaugurating my new semi-regular-whenever-I-feel-like-it feature, Micro Review Minute. A Micro Review Minute, from henceforth referred to as MRM because I find typing Micro Review Minute (ahhh) very awkward, is my very short take on books, albums, movies, whatever. Maybe even more than one per post! [...]
I have been using Amazon Marketplace as both a buyer and a seller for several years. I have always been happy in the past with my purchases. Now my last three transactions have all been negative. In all three cases I ordered books that when they arrived were no where near the condition described by [...]
There a billion and one pages floating about on the waves of the internet that are about the contents of books (reviews, the actual content, etc…). There are even pages dedicated to the visual allure of a nicely produced book. What there are very few of (at least to my knowledge) are pages extolling the [...]
John Kilma of Electric Velocipede sums this up better than I can, so go read his post first. I have read 39 of these: Pride and Prejudice – Jane Austen The Lord of the Rings – JRR Tolkien Jane Eyre – Charlotte Bronte Harry Potter series – JK Rowling To Kill a Mockingbird – Harper [...]
