Pillars of the Earth
In 12th-century England, the building of a mighty Gothic cathedral signals the dawn of a new age. This majestic creation will bond clergy and kings, knights and peasants together in a story of toil, faith, ambition and rivalry. A sweeping tale of the turbulent middle ages, The Pillars of the Earth is a masterpiece from one of the world’s most popular authors.
Sh*t My Dad Says
I didn’t believe that these people existed out side of my family, but you really can’t make it up if you actually think about. Though his dads words might be a bit harsh, there is a good moral to learn behind each statement. If you read this book you will reminice to your child hood scoldings and realize that our parents were trying to make us better people. It is a hilarious narrative that anyone who felt they had a tough love childhood needs to read. You won’t stop laughing.
War Against the Animals
For some reason, I have always avoided books with AIDS themes. AIDS was always a depressing subject where I was sure everyone was going to die of. I didn’t want to emotionally get attached (though I know this is crazy) to characters that were terminally ill.

Clay’s Way is author Blair Mastbaum’s first novel. The novel centers around the emotionally confusing Sam. He is a rebellious boy living in Hawaii where he feel that he does not fit in because everyone is a surfer or Hawaii. Sam himself is self-deprecating in his looks and his family.

Laus Deo – Dan Brown teaches us religion
Dan Brown teaches us religion. Dan Brown’s newest book, The Lost Symbol is about the Masons and Mason mysticism mixed with kidnapping and deranged monsters. It could have been better with it’s hinting at mysteries, but its been typical of Dan Brown to always hint at the obvious by making us think we are wrong. [...]
The Year of Living Biblically
Raised in a secular family but increasingly interested in the relevance of faith in our modern world, A.J. Jacobs decides to dive in headfirst and attempt to obey the Bible as literally as possible for one full year. He vows to follow the Ten Commandments. To be fruitful and multiply. To love his neighbor. But also to obey the hundreds of less publicized rules: to avoid wearing clothes made of mixed fibers; to play a ten-string harp; to stone adulterers.
Radiohead – House of Cards
I can never understand the words of Mr Yorke, but I intently listed to this song “House of Cards” from Radiohead’s recent release: Rainbows. I’ll just take it as a metaphor where a house built our of playing cards is precarious in its existence. It will give away at the slightest unintentional whim. It will [...]
