| The Source is my all-time favorite book bar none; I didn't sleep for two nights decades ago because I couldn't put it down. A saga that spans millennia, you'll learn more about Western Civ's three major religions in this epic than you will in a year- ...more | |

| I rarely give a book a five-star rating, but As Good As Dead most surely merits one. The account of the suffering endured by American POWs on the Japanese-occupied Philippine island of Palawan during WWII is interesting, but what elevates the book to ...more | |

“My overarching takeaway from Samuel Beckett is the futility of understanding, life's great booby prize. If one day we understand all the mysteries of the universe, so what? We will only have discovered that it all means nothing, that we have been pursuing a fool's errand. There is no meaning in an indifferent cosmos. Tis better just to enjoy the incredible richness that every moment of living offers than to chase a chimera.”

“And the end and the beginning were always there
Before the beginning and after the end.
And all is always now.”

“To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.”
― Macbeth
