A story about "Superstud: Or How I Became a 24-Year-Old Virgin" — 4 years ago
WORTH CONSUMING!
Holy God I can’t wait to read this.
A story about "Scouting For Boys: The Original 1908 Edition" — 4 years ago
No, “Scouting for Boys” isn’t the Michael Jackson handbook.
Why I have it is a mystery. It was sent to me to review by Oxford Press, who has my parents address down for an online poetry magazine I published 13 years ago! This is the second book I’ve gotten.
In any event, this actually looks like a really entertaining, kitchy book as well as being historically interesting.

Captivating illustrations and a fun story about Santa’s evil twin brother make for a pleasant change from the usual holiday fare.

A story about "Waking Up: A Week Inside a Zen Monastery (Week Inside¹series)" — 5 years ago
An interesting look into a week at the Zen Mountain Monestary in New York state. Zen practice and training ain’t all navel-gazing, ya know…
A story about "The Ornament of the World: How Muslims, Jews and Christians Created a Culture of Tolerance in Medieval Spain" — 5 years ago
Looks like a worthwhile read, but it’s too heavy for me right now… I’ll definitely be coming back to this one soon, though.
A story about "In Praise of Shadows" — 5 years ago
WORTH CONSUMING!
Early on Tanizaki says that he bets some of history’s best haikus were written while sitting on the toilet. Good stuff…
The focus on simplicity in Japanese architecture and traditional life is something that brings some calm to the day-to-day grind. I read this short book once before in college for an Asian Civ class and really enjoyed it and am looking forward to breezing through it again.
A story about "A Short History of Nearly Everything" — 5 years ago
“There’s not much between us and oblivion.” Nice!
I’ve been reading this book for probably close to a year-and-a-half… it’s an outstanding look at complicated scientific concepts in laymen’s language, but it’s still one of those “heavy” books that takes a while to get through.
