Sometimes I read a book because it looks interesting. Sometimes I read a book because it’s by a favorite author. Sometimes I read a book because the title intrigues me. And sometimes I read a book because I want to seem fancy and intellectual. That’s why I read this book. The cover is based of… Continue reading Book Review: The Almond Picker

Book Review: The Architect

Book Review: All is Forgotten, Nothing is Lost
Ahh…the good old summertime. I look forward to summer for so many reasons, but one of them is that I get the excuse of carving out time to actually *read*. Like, as in GROWN-UP books. Books with chapters and multi-syllabic words. Books with hundreds of pages and small type. Books with at least 3 letters… Continue reading Book Review: All is Forgotten, Nothing is Lost

Booby-trapped!
********DISCLAIMER********* This is girlfriend humor at its finest. Boys are welcome to read at your own risk. But don’t say I didnt’ warn you. Part of the joy of growing older is the way “routine” medical checkups begin to change. Suddenly, doctors are very interested in the most private parts of your body, needing to… Continue reading Booby-trapped!
