Here are two more titles from the 100 Greatest Novels. Sorry for the wait, the U.S.A. Trilogy took a while to get through. Enjoy: Appointment in Samarra by John O’Hara This was a short novel that packs a lot of punch (sorry for the cliche!). The events unfold in about 36 hours that start with […]
This morning I picked up (read: bought off iTunes) three great records (read: digital files). They were so good I thought you might want to know about them: Amok – Atoms for Peace This band consists of Thom Yorke (Radiohead), Flea (Red Hot Chili Peppers), and Joey Waronker (Beck). And yes, it’s as great as […]
This weekend I came across a Netflix exclusive show, House of Cards. The entire first season was released on February 1st so all 13 episodes are ready to be watched. Being a political drama, I decided to check out the first episode. Already halfway through the season, I am really enjoying the show. Kevin Spacey […]
I have found the definition of a band “making it.” If you can open a show with a mid-tempo bonus track and the audience reacts like it is your biggest single, you have made it. And that is exactly what fun. did last night. Starting with Out on the Town, the bonus track off their […]
These next few books from the 100 greatest novels mainly focus on race. We hear a lot about the Civil War and the freeing of slaves and we hear a lot about the 1960s, MLK, and the fight for equality. What many people forget is that there were 100 years of oppression, discrimination, and abuse […]

He takes on dark subjects (death, war, loneliness, etc.) and treats them with incredible humor and wit. His fiction, his short stories, and his essays are all equally great literature. But […]
So a few years ago I stumbled upon an album on NoiseTrade. It was Story Time by Zach Williams and after downloading, I quickly fell in love. I showed everybody the album and to this day I consider this my greatest find on NoiseTrade. Sometime last year, I found out Zach Williams and The Bellow were having […]
Here’s what I thought about two books that I was not familiar with prior to this list, #16 and 17 of the 100 greatest novels. An American Tragedy by Theodore Dreiser This is a long novel. Dreiser dissects the thought process of each and every character before and after an action. So it takes a […]

Anyways, back to the 100 greatest novels… I, Claudius by Robert Graves Or the full title: I, Claudius: From the Autobiography of Tiberius Claudius, Born 10 B.C., Murdered and Deified A.D. 54, in case you were wondering. This novel falls into […]
