Chuck Palahniuk

Doubleday, 2008

Not as good as his other books

I hate to be mean to authors because they're giving it their best (or at least I hope so), but this book made me feel like Palahniuk is just writing because it's his job. It wasn't a gripping tale like Fight Club or even Diary, and it was only 180 pages so it's only entertaining for a day. He ...

The Undead Kama Sutra8 reviews
Mario Acevedo

Eos, 2008

Another fun romp with vampires, sexual inuendo, and pleanty of humor

+ Great Fun
+ Acceptable reading

Acevedo has an interesting "take" on modern day vampirism. This story is no exception. I found that this story had enough references to previous happenings that it would not be fully required to read the other stories first. Might as well read them though as they are also highly entertaining. ...

... dies laughing.

+ Randomness supreme
+ You did WHAT with the weedwhacker?

If you've read Chris Moore, you know you'll be laughing from the first page on. If you haven't read his books before, get ready. He's got to be the funniest fiction writer to come along in at least 30 years!

Duane Swierczynski

St. Martin's Minotaur, 2008

As sudden as a blood soaked Pink Slip

+ What a ride!
+ A "Kill Bill" sensibililty

Brutal. Violent. Relentless. Fun. This could be easily be a four-word review, as these particular words go a long way in preparing you for Bill Swierczynski third novel, out on the heels of The Blonde. Severance Package does a wonderful job of combining corporate office politics and the deadly ...
  
  











  



  
The Picture of Dorian Gray (Oxford World's Classics)260 reviews
Oscar Wilde

Oxford University Press, USA, 1998

The books that the world calls immoral are books that show the world its own shame

+ "Every portrait that is painted with feeling is a portrait of the artist, not of the sitter"-Oscar Wilde
+ Further reading

Wilde sees the world more clearly than any writer of fiction in the last century. It is for that reason that his work is so filled with countless paradoxes and contradictions that challenge the mind and titillate the senses. Wilde lived in an infinitely ironic age, when society had grown so ...
