I have to go back to Whale Talk momentarily because I was reading other blogs, and even got a deeper insight into myself (wow did that sound homo). Anyway, the book constantly takes MASSIVE turns, and I think that’s what makes the book so darn compelling. During chapter five is a prime example it’s almost [...]
‘Notha book
The book Dragon and Thief has remained untouched on my bookshelf for quite a while and it looks rather interesting, so today I picked it up to find an interesting start. Although by interesting I mean I’m giving the books introduction the prized WTF moment. Ahh, the WTF moment is given to those times when [...]
Depression…
I finished Whale Talk, and now I am depressed. Not only from the surprise ending it throws at you, but also because now that it’s done I don’t know what book I will be able to pick up next that will be able to compete with it. It makes me fairly depressed. Although there is [...]
Crutcher captivates me through his artistic abilities.
Chris Crutcher continues to amaze me. As I approach the last 50 or so pages of this book, it has gotten progressively more serious and closer to home. It’s a new concept to me, I have never in all my days sat down like I did today and just read a book with such concentration. [...]
quickie.
I just read a fairly short novel my brother had in his possession. It was entitled schooled (it was intended for a middle school audience I guess, but I believe literature is for everyone). It was about a kid from a “hippy” subculture, and the kid had to move to a very suburban area. It [...]
‘Scuse me but WTF is going on in your head Chris Crutcher!
Chris baby, love your book, love the language, but your a middle aged man, how do you come up with some of this stuff? Chapter five was one hell of a chapter. It really made me think about how there really are people out there, who really do have problems like that, and it disturbs [...]
Hendrix again
One word to describe Hendrix family would be… dysfunctional. His mom drank his dad drank, he couldn’t stay in one place as an infant for more than 3 months. He couldn’t even stay with his own family. He would end up every once and a while with some one his family hardly even knew. I [...]
A new book.
Whale talk was a book that was assigned to my English class to read. It is quite stimulating for my brain cells. I enjoy how the book operates in terms of how it is written, I mean, it’s written like any other first person, but it really speaks to me like others have failed to [...]
Neglect=Regret.
I neglected to keep up with my blog and now I regret it… So now I am starting a long, long, long session of blogging to make up for lost time. Anyway in Jimi Hendrix biography things start going very fast and slow down. It’s a mix of things why it does that, one he [...]
