Cerebus Volume 1

There are few comic books out there that have the mystique of Cerebus. In fact, no other comic book really can. It is the longest running series ever in history to have the same writer/artist throughout, and is certainly one of the most famous independent comic books …

The Hedge Knight (Graphic Novel)

I am a big fan of the writings of George R.R. Martin, particularly his Song of Ice and Fire series. I have been reading the series ever since A Game of Thrones came out years ago. That being said, I have never read his short story, “The …

Ramayan 3392 AD Volume One

When I first heard about Virgin Comics I was intrigued. A new line of comics written and drawn by Indians, incorporating Hindu mythology into some of the well-developed norms of modern superheroes? It sounded quite interesting, and the one that sounded most interesting of all was the …

Onslaught: X-Men

Ah, the days of my youth. How I loved in the old days to curl up on the floor with a pile of comic books lying in front of me. If you had asked me then what were my favorite comics, I would immediately tell you the …

M.Y.T.H. Inc. Link

M.Y.T.H. Inc. Link is the 7th book in Robert Asprin’s Myth series, although it was the third book in the series that I have read. It is also my favorite of the Myth books I have read.
M.Y.T.H. Inc. Link takes a very different course from its predecessors, something …

Carolina Moon by Nora Roberts

Carolina Moon is a murder story that is sort of predictable, yet inspiring and romantic. It is about a young girl named Tory Bodeen and how she grew up in a small South Carolina town. She lived in a very run down house where her father ruled with …

Myth-ing Persons by Robert Asprin

Myth-ing Persons was my second foray into the wonderful world of Robert Asprin’s Myth series. My first was Myth Directions, the third book of the series. Keeping with my tradition of never reading a series in perfect chronological order I skipped ahead to the 5th book in …

Myth Directions by Robert Asprin

Myth Directions was my first true exposure to the world of Robert Asprin’s Myth books. I have heard of the series before, but had never sat down to actually read one of the books until recently. Although Myth Directions is technically the third book in the series …

Feeding the Beast by Bruce Jones

Again, the Fear the Fever collection of short stories produced a winner with the tale “Feeding the Beast”. A rather short tale, this story launches right into the action by placing the reader in bed with a local prostitute. Seen through her eyes, she explains how the …

Untamed Sex by James Crawford

If you are anything of a horror fan (especially erotic horror) you will love the short story “Untamed Sex” by James Crawford. Found in the Fear the Fever short story collection, this tale is about a couple who still loves one another, but is having some trouble keeping …

Stone Butterfly by James D. Doss, 2006

“Stone Butterfly” is the tenth official book in the Charlie Moon series. I saw official because one book that could and perhaps should be considered part of the series, “The Night Visitor” is not, at least not according to the online catalog at my local library. However man of …

Harry Potter and the Philosophers stone

The Very First installment in the Harry Potter book series is the Harry Potter: Philosopher’s stone. I have to admit that when this first book came out, i was one of those few people who very pessimistic about it. I doubted whether the book will be popular to the …

Carmilla by Sheridan Le Fanu

While I still think Bram Stoker’s Dracula is the ultimate Vampire book, I have to admit one of the stories he drew inspiration from is pretty good too.
Sheridan Le Fanu’s novella Carmilla is an awesome story and, if I didn’t already know it was about a vampire, would have …

The Lair of the White Worm

Of the Bram Stoker books I have read, the Lair of the White Worm is definitely the most confusing; yet I will say it is also worth reading.
Stoker does a great job of telling a story about good versus evil without really revealing the full extent of what the …

Glynis Has Your Number by Glynis McCants

I was given this book as a Christmas gift by my brother and his wife. This book was a very welcomed surprise, since I had been interested in Numerology for some time.

Living History by Hillary Clinton

Living History tells us the life of Hillary Rodham Clinton from a Chicago suburban girl to the first lady in Whitehouse, then the New York senator. It was released in June 2003. I find this book quite personal, engrossing because Hillary tells her story from an ordinary person’s perspective …

Common Ground by Bob Beckel and Cal Thomas

Cal Thomas and Bob Beckel give a superb history of the problems and development of “polarization” in current American politics.
They do an excellent job of delineating their positions when necessary throughout the book. Beckel is a liberal, Thomas is the conservative, but apparently they both wrote the book together. …

Rainbows’s End

One Fish Two Fish Red Fish Blue Fish

Of all the Doctor Seuss books I read to my daughter, his book One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish is my least favorite.
It�s an OK book but I just don’t enjoy going from one subject to the next in it. It’s almost as though he wrote it …

The Jewel of the Seven Stars

When people think of Bram Stoker, they naturally think of him as the guy who wrote Dracula. And, most probably don’t realize he had other books as well.
One of these, The Jewel of the Seven Stars, is actually more entertaining than Dracula was.
Based in London, the book starts out …

A Study in Scarlett

Being a big Sherlock Holmes fan, it would be a sin for me not to read the very first book that featured him; A Study in Scarlett. But, as far as Sherlock Holmes stories go, this is actually one of the worst.
The book takes place in two parts. The …

A Christmas Carol

Even though I have seen several movie versions, I have to confess I had never read the book A Christmas Carol before. Now that I finally sat down to do that (in actuality, I was reading it to my daughter), I have to say it is better than the …

The Speckled Band

Of all the Sherlock Holmes stories I’ve read, the Speckled Band is one I feel is the creepiest.

The Return of Sherlock Holmes

I like mystery books and have spent a great deal of time reading Conan Doyle�s Sherlock Holmes stories lately. One of those was his compilation The Return of Sherlock Holmes.
Overall, I have to say I could tell from the beginning that Doyle didn’t really want to write this book. …

Pillars of the Earth
