Literary Musings: Armageddon in Retrospect by Kurt Vonnegut
http://literarymusings-blog.blogspot.com/2012/12/armageddon-in-retrospect-by-kurt.html
Armageddon in Retrospect by Kurt Vonnegut. Vonnegut will always have a special place in my heart. He was my first favorite. Author with whom I fell madly in love. His writing honest, humorous, and incredibly intelligent. Vonnegut has got this knack for conveying more ideas in one short sentence than most writers can in an entire novel. His words are powerful and memorable. Although he held a pessimistic view of politics and the modern day world, he believed in the good of human kind. 2 of 50 (4%). Favori...

Literary Musings: 03.13
http://literarymusings-blog.blogspot.com/2013_03_01_archive.html
This book can be summed up in one passage: "It was not the sea that was cruel, but the people." The novel was entertaining enough, but it was on the predictable side and didn't offer anything I haven't read before. If I could go back and read it again, I wouldn't. By Thessaly La Force (art by Jane Mount). I found this one at Half Price Books. A Confederacy of Dunces. By John Kennedy Toole. This book kept popping up on "Favorite Love Story" lists around Valentine's Day and I'm so glad it fell on my radar&...

Literary Musings: Favorite Books Read in 2012
http://literarymusings-blog.blogspot.com/2012/12/favorite-books-read-in-2012.html
Favorite Books Read in 2012. 2012 was a pretty good year in reading for me. I set a goal to read 50 books and as of today I'm at 45, which puts me a little behind pace but I'm alright with that. Below is a list of my favorite books I read in 2012, listed in order. Some are new releases and others are much older. 2 Where'd You Go, Bernadette. He has her flaws but is completely likeable at the same time. The novel as a whole is funny, sharp-witted, and immensely readable. By Stephen King,. 2011: The premis...

Literary Musings: Stiff: The Curious Life of Human Cadavers - Mary Roach
http://literarymusings-blog.blogspot.com/2010/10/stiff-curious-life-of-human-cadavers.html
Stiff: The Curious Life of Human Cadavers - Mary Roach. Please avoid this review if you are easily disturbed by the idea of corpses and cadavers. As the title suggests, this review will revolve around these subjects. This certainly won't be an exceptionally grotesque or disrespectful review, but to some these subjects may be off-putting.*. A few (of the many) other interesting things I learned while reading this book:. Up until 1965 necrophilia was not a crime in any US state. Publisher: Norton, 2003.

Literary Musings: January Reads
http://literarymusings-blog.blogspot.com/2013/02/january-reads.html
I was told this one would make me cry uncontrollably. Remarkably enough, I did not. With that said, I did find it to be an incredibly touching story that I won't soon forget. If I had known for about its central theme before I purchased it, I don't think I would have bought it. But I'm really happy I did. Mr Penumbra's 24-Hour Bookstore. I wouldn't have picked this one up on my own, but after reading how much Laura. Mary Roach is really good at writing about science in a way that makes it accessible and ...
