I think the biggest mystery . . . for all of us, is "why are we here?"

A slightly less cosmic answer might be (and I've alluded to this incident in both of my books) is that I (and some other folks) saw a guy kill himself by jumping off a bridge once. I just happened to be running in the area where it happened. I always wondered what led the guy to take that step. I've even tried to research it online to just see who he was etc., but I cannot seem to find any articles or anything about the incident. This occurred about 10 years before we had the Internet or cell phones etc... so you couldn't just instantly Google things.(less)

As my eyes adjusted to the overhead fluorescent lights, the deep husky voice of a man in the bunk below says, "So, what'd you say you was in for again?" (less)

I generally love all Salman Rushdie books, and this one is no different. This is a series of short stories and novellas. They are all organized around the theme of the purpose of life and people coming to grips with their motality. The first story, I ...more

We by Yevgeny Zamyatin
Rate this book
Clear rating
If I were rating this book as a stand-alone, I would give it a 3 or 4. It's interesting as far as dystopian novels go. What makes this a 5 is it's backstory. This book was published in the early 1920s just after the Bolshevik Revolution in Russia, an ...more

If you like absurdism (think Vonnegut, Rushdie, Adams) then I think you'll love this book. It was apparently the book that inspired Douglas Adams's Hitchiker's Guide to the Galaxy series. The plot is that the protagonist, Carmody, wins a prize which ...more

I highly recommend this book if you have any interest in Russian history or the history of totalitarian regimes. The book essentially picks up where Alexander Solzhenitsyn's works leave off. To recap briefly, Lenin started (and Stalin greatly expande ...more

Stalin by Stephen Kotkin

Prior to Kotkin's three volume work (not yet completed) most folks would likely cite to Simon de Montifiore's biography of Stalin (In the Court of the Red Tsar) as the preeminent Stalin biography. One thing that makes Montifiore's book a bit of a pag ...more
