The stench is right, this book STINKS!

The Stench of Honolulu by Jack Handey

by Leave a Comment

“The jungle grew darker and more mysterious. Bugs seemed buggier, and the trees almost seemed alive. The sun was like a blazing ball of fire in the sky. Strange little birds hovered over the flowers, stabbing them with their long, pointed beaks. Sinister rock formations appeared on shore and even reached up out of the water. I guess that’s where Hawaii got its famous nickname, “Land of a Thousand Nightmares.”  The narrator is cajoled by his friend Don into taking a trip to Hawaii. While […]

If Rube Goldberg had written humorous novels…

Cocktail Time by P.G. Wodehouse

Cbr13bingo Libations, Bingo #5 (Diagonal) I love PG Wodehouse novels, especially the Bertie Wooster/Jeeves series, but this story featuring Uncle Fred, aka Lord Ickenham, is almost as hilarious and entertaining as the Bertie and Jeeves books. Lord Ickenham, in his 50s I think, is the sort of man who knows how to stir up trouble and then orchestrate events so as to calm the afflicted and afflict the calm. In true Wodehouse fashion, there are a number of plots (mostly involving money and love) that […]

There’s a lot to learn and the clock is ticking

Rabbits by Terry Miles

by Leave a Comment

Before starting Rabbits by Terry Miles, I thought I would be able to answer the question what this book was about. I knew there had to be more than a cute, almost rainbow, bunny on the cover. But, once finished, I still did not have a clue what had taken me a little less than two weeks to read was about. The main character is K, (yes short for something, but they are not telling). K and their friends are old-school gamers (their arcade with […]
