I don't know why, but I was expecting this to be a humorous book. Maybe I misread a synopsis. Regardless, it was the opposite of a light-hearted romp -- it was tense and suspenseful, with richly-drawn characters and excellent atmosphere. Westlake is ...more

When this book was first written, zombies weren't really a thing yet. It took me by surprise, and i wasn't really expecting the disjointed, interview-style of narrative, but Brooks pulls it off with skill. I suppose it's the perfect form to explore t ...more

Will we ever have another popular spokesman for science and humanity as gifted and insightful as Carl Sagan? I doubt it. Every other scientist pales in comparison. Sagan's introspective philosophizing imbues his treatises on science and our universe ...more

This was my first exposure to Thompson. I picked up the book while backpacking through Europe and I couldn't believe what I was reading. Was this guy for real or is he just pulling our legs? Hilarious, unbelievable stuff, but once you hear about the ...more

Of all modern American authors, Bill Bryson reminds me the most of James Thurber. His wry, straight-faced recounting of the more bizarre elements of our world are sometimes side-splittingly funny, even though he approaches it all with a quiet equanim ...more

You can tell Harlan Ellison edited this anthology because a lot of these stories are plain flat-out weird. It's an excellent pastiche of sci-fi hallucinations from some of the greatest authors in the field. There's something here for everyone, but be ...more

Reading this book, you get glimpses into a mind and a world that most of us will never encounter. It's interesting that Hannibal Lecter, a minor character who eventually became the series' best-known character, slowly assumes greater dominance over t ...more

I read this when I was a child and I found it deeply meaningful then. Many other people must have agreed, because they even made it into a movie. Which played for about three days before disappearing into obscurity. But the book is more of a meditati ...more

There's not much I can add to what's already been said about this book, except to mention that reading it is like taking magic mushrooms or tripping on LSD. It's an experiential read, and one not to be taken lightly. It will push your own idea of you ...more
