Bound Up With Books: Evil Genes

Written by Psuke. Posted on July 6, 2009. Filed under Bound Up with Books, Lit. No comments.

Have you ever known someone who seems incomprehensibly malicious? Someone who might possibly be crazy, or who makes you think you must be? If so, then Evil Genes is a must read for you. Or even if you are someone who is fascinated by the possible biological basis of evil behavior. In an attempt to [...]

Life, Inc

Written by Psuke. Posted on June 6, 2009. Filed under Arts, Books, Bound Up with Books, book reviews. 1 Comment.

Life, Inc, by Douglas Rushkoff is one of those books that are timely, timeless and extremely important for understanding how Things Work Around Here. Which is *not* to say that everyone will get it. Personally, I think Amazon ought to bundle this book together with Making Money by Terry Prachett as an aid to Getting [...]

Fallen Nation audiobook note

Written by Joseph Matheny. Posted on February 22, 2009. Filed under Announcement, Fallen Nation audiobook, Modern Mythology. No comments.

The location of the Fallen Nation audiobook files changed, so until I go through and update the posts here, the links no longer work. However, you can listen to all of these through the plugin on this page at JamesCurcio.net. On that note… I recently re-coded and designed that site, and put a ton of old [...]

Bound Up With Books: Sway

Written by Psuke. Posted on January 27, 2009. Filed under Arts, Books, Bound Up with Books. No comments.

Sway, by Zachary Lazar, was an odd book. I was never quite sure how I felt about it. I’m not entirely certain it knows how it feels about itself. It’s not a biography or a history, there’s not nearly enough information given. It’s not historical fiction, either, as the characters are not particularly well fleshed [...]

Bound Up With Books: Bridge of Birds

Written by Psuke. Posted on December 31, 2008. Filed under Books, Bound Up with Books, Bridge of Birds. 1 Comment.

Bound Up With Books Bridge of Birds Psuke This round I’m reviewing one of my favorite books: Bridge of Birds: A Novel of an Ancient China That Never Was by Barry Hughart. Although part of my love stems from the fact that I get to share it with a very good friend and not the book’s literary merits, [...]

Bound Up With Books Winkie Psuke My goodness – it has been awhile. It is partly a bit of laxness on my part, and partly that the review I was working on is less ready in my head than I thought. So, in the meantime, let’s talk about Winkie. The easiest way to describe Winkie [...]

This past year has held a lot of changes and challenges for me. I broke up with my girlfriend of five years, (see? I told you I’d finally mention it publicly- no details though guys, LJdrama is so 1998), I’m working a full-time day job, I’ve put my non-or-little-paying creative projects on hiatus until I [...]

Bound Up With Books Tales of MU Psuke Well, it’s been awhile, oh my brothers and sisters, but Tales of MU isn’t exactly easy to review…On the one hand, it’s one of the more popular tropes of the YA genre – young girl from a small town and a repressive upbringing has her eyes poppingly opened when she [...]
