Oni Press, 2007

The story gets better
(I write this assuming people have read the first volume) In short, this volume continues right where the first left off with our village of Sunners captured and enslaved by the Newbeginners. We learn more about the different stories about what the Big Wet was and why it happened and how everyone may be connected somehow to A-Ree-Yass-I. We get a great, well-written chunk of back-story for Abi ...

God in the Wasteland: The Reality of Truth in a World of Fading Dreams

Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing Company, 1994

Very insightful and thought provoking .
I am reading this book as part of a course in basic theology, and it is very illuminating. I would highly recommend this book to anyone in the church who wants to tell about "the reason for the hope that lies within you..." It is not just for a few pastors and teachers to know theology; it is the opportunity of everyone in the church.

There are, however, mutated monsters living in the dead cities and infesting the desert like vermin. And people are just trying to survive. We meet Michael, a loner who walks the wastes, and has been doing so for a very long time (which, in ...

Terrible, Beautiful
What a beautiful, emotional book. Others have complained about weetzies ethereal writing style, but true fans will know that's the beauty of Block's work. The story focuses on Marina and her brother Lex, true soulmates who can never be together, focusing more on there love then the inevitable incest, which only happens once, was mutual, in a gay friends apartment when they were both drunk. Even ...

A fine collection of Apocalypse stories by great authors
With anthologies, I normally list the Table Of Contents, however because it can be viewed by rolling your mouse over the second available image below the book picture, I won't list it. There are 22 stories in this collection, by such authors as Stephen King, George R.R. Martin, Orson Scott Card, Nancy Kress, and many more. Each story begins with a short paragraph of notes and achievements by ...

Wasteland Press, 2005

FINALLY a book made for me!
Reading this sweet little book felt like talking to a friend. The fact is, I'm the one who has to do and remember everything at home and I work full time. I can't depend on my husband for anything. This book made me feel like I'm not alone. It gave me great tips about how to tell my husband what is bothering me and reminded me that I matter too.

Donna Nordmark Aviles

Wasteland Press, 2008

A Remarkable Family, Overcoming Poor Odds and Terrible Luck
Although it is meant to be the third and final installment in Donna Nordmark Aviles's "Orphan Train" series, Peanut Butter for Cupcakes stands alone as a fine historical fiction novel depicting the real life experiences of a Pennsylvania family living through the Great Depression. Oliver Nordmark (the author's real life grandfather) grew up without parents of his own. Orphaned at a young age, ...

This book, then, is the story of their early followings of that line. Along the way, as is King's trademark, anything and everything can and do happen to Roland and his group. ...

T.S. Eliot Reads: The Wasteland, Four Quartets and Other Poem

1 review

Caedmon, 2000

Eliot reads Eliot
A. Walton Litz was right on the money after listening to Eliot read his "Waste Land," saying Eliot was essentially a dramatist. Why his poetry takes so well with those who normally don't read poetry. This selection is the most comprehensive of his live and studio recordings. Includes his experimental "Triumphal March from Coriolan" but does not include his brilliant but never-completed play ...

Corporate Wasteland: The Landscape and Memory of Deindustrialization
Steven High, David W. Lewis

ILR Press, 2007

Deindustrialization is not simply an economic process, but a social and cultural one as well. The rusting detritus of our industrial past--the wrecked hulks of factories, abandoned machinery too large to remove, and now-useless infrastructures--has for decades been a part of the North American landscape. In recent years, however, these modern ruins have become cultural attractions, drawing increasing numbers of adventurers, artists, ...

Michelle Vogel Hits Another Mark
This book is sensational. From the gorgeous cover to the well written text. Vogel andher co-author, I do not know but am now a fan of, have really been great in their work. This book went into why Hollywood Blondes lived such tortured lives. Sure there are things in here, that some reviewers can and will disagree with. But it's unfair and tasteless to claim facts are wrong and you (the ...

University Of Chicago Press, 1998

Holds up, still relevant and still touches a nerve
I recently reread this book and was pleased, yet unsurprised to, see how well it's held up. The books easily stands on it's own merits, however I have been compelled to write a review after reading some of the bilge that others have written. Mostly along the lines of "I knew these kids or I'm from Jersey and she shouldn't have written that book", and other unintelligent nonsense and blindfolded ...
