by Carl Hiaasen (Goodreads Author)
Rate this book

I've been a loyal fan of Carl Hiaasen since I first read Native Tongue in the early 90s. The tight plotting and seductive rhythms of his prose, the crazy cast of "Florida Man" criminals, and the humorous poetic justice he serves up to those villains ...more

James by Percival Everett
Rate this book
Clear rating
After reading Dr. No and now James, I’m starting to believe that Everett is one of my favorite novelists. Both brutal and beautiful in its plot and language, Everett’s book also contains a truly mind-blowing plot twist that made me see this book and ...more

Shaken To My Bones by Brian Rohr
Rate this book
Clear rating
Rohr's meditations on his first year-long study of the Torah are at once ancient and spiritual while firmly rooted in our contemporary world. In "If You Are Willing," he writes, "let in ancient mythic images, / so the real world can waken you open / ...more

Brute by Emily Skaja
Rate this book
Clear rating
If Taylor Swift were truly a “tortured poet,” she might produce a book like Brute. The theme of a cataclysmic breakup runs throughout these poems which range in appeal from the sometimes taboo “accessible” to the cooly hermetic. Startling shifts and ...more

Beautiful Days by Zach  Williams
Beautiful Days: Stories
by Zach Williams (Goodreads Author)

Some really good stories in this book, each presenting reality which is just a little (or a lot) off. The final three stories are the best, in my opinion.

I’ve been despairing that I hadn’t read a good book all year. When I read a review of this short suspenseful novella, I thought I might at least end the year on an up note. The book is very suspenseful and draws you into its mysteries at a breakneck ...more
The Night Guest by Hildur Knútsdóttir
"Was hoping to find a horror novel that I could get behind, but then the author had to go and kill the cats so it’s a big nope from me.
Plus nothing was explained and if you are going to have animal cruelty you had better give me a good reason, it was " Read more of this review »

Scattershot by Bernie Taupin
Rate this book

Elton John’s memoir Meremains one of the best rock memoirs I have read. Strange, then, how this memoir by Bernie Taupin—Elton John’s word man—should pale by comparison.

Taupin never met a $50 word he preferred it’s $2.00 counterpart. Maybe I should h

The Devil's Best Trick by Randall Sullivan
Rate this book
Clear rating
I read this book based on a review which stated that by the end of the book, Randall Sullivan concludes that the Devil does, in fact, exist.

I saw no such conclusion to this rambling, uneven, mess of . . . journalism?
