Project Kiwayan by Randy Ribay

July 26, 2022 by vel veeter Leave a Comment

The Magic Christian - 3/5 Stars I don't know almost anything about Terry Southern except he has a great name and he wrote for the movies in addition to fiction. If you've seen Dr Strangelove, you've seen some of his writing at work, and he was a favorite of Peter Sellers. In addition, he was more … [Read more]

CBR14Bingo - Body Rabbit is Rich - 4/5 Stars All the Rabbit novels are squarely about two main things: the lives that bodies live and the eclipsing of the white man (according to the white man himself) in American society.

This was my missing diamond…

Mouston Abbey: The Missing Diamond by Nick Page & Joanna Bicknell

July 26, 2022 by Travis_J_Smith Leave a Comment

Back in elementary school, we went somewhere for a Dr. Seuss day celebration and I got this pocket-sized copy of The Lorax, possibly my favorite of his books. In the years since, I've lost that … [Read more]
