Pygmy is the first Chuck P book that I didn’t rush out to buy (or throw on pre-order). The early reviews that I saw weren’t that great. Most of the reviewers though were caught up on the language in the book. And if you have read it, you know I’m not referring [...]
Have you ever watched a movie that made you want to head to the bookstore? I’ve run into a few like that and I figured why not talk about one such movie… Pi (or π if you prefer).
The movie is about a mathematician who believes he has stumbled upon pattern of numbers that [...]
Curt Cloninger wrote a book about ground breaking web design back in 2002. Fresh Styles for Web Designers got rave reviews from people like Jason Beaird. On a whim I decided to pick up used copies of Fresh Styles and its recently released sequel, Fresher Styles for Web Designers: More Eye Candy From [...]
I’ve read the Bible. No, seriously. Read it. A lot of people say that but that’s because they are afraid God is listening and will strike them down for not saying they’ve read it.

I am the avenging sword of taste and decency.
A couple of years ago I read an article on Cracked called Five Classic Novels That Bring The Funny. I hadn’t heard of two of the books on the list so I picked them up. Confederacy of Dunces by John Kennedy Toole was one of [...]
The book Where The Wild Things Are was first published when I was a child. I do not remember being a huge fan but I do remember reading it. When I saw that they have made a movie adaptation I thought maybe this would be something interesting to take my son to.
He is [...]
Reading ‘Rant’ by Fight Club author Chuck Palahniuk made me want to contract rabies and crash my car, but in a good way. If you’ve read the book you’ll know what I mean (and no, that is not a spoiler).
I’m not going to discuss the plot of the story. There are plenty of [...]
This is probably completely off the wall and way wrong, but does anyone else think it a strange coincidence that the character Bill Jacks from HBO’s John From Cincinnati has conversations with his bird and Kurt Vonnegut’s Kilgore Trout had conversations with a bird named Bill? I could dig into this hair brained idea [...]
