Monks, WTF!

Monks brawling at the burial place of Jesus?!  I have to admit, I’m not all about organized religion.  I’ve had some issues with overly pushy proselytizers that left a bad taste in my mouth.  Even so, my general belief with all religions … Read the rest of this entry →

Um, Arkansas, WTF!

The Sex Lives of Cannibals

My book club alternates between serious non-fiction like The Omnivore’s Dilemma, serious fiction like Ishmael, and totally silly and fun books like The Sex Lives of Cannibals.  I generally suggest the serious books, but I really enjoyed this one.  I enjoyed our last … Read the rest of this entry →
