The Sirens of Titan by Kurt Vonnegut book review
I’m glad I picked this one up. Kurt Vonnegut is always a favorite, this is my first experience with his “science fiction”. A very clever double cross story of interplanetary and time travel hijinks. My old self would’ve mused at the unique way Vonnegut routs the believers. God is a joke, and Vonnegut has all…

Crazy Horse: A Life by Larry McMurtry book review
Uninspired write-up on Crazy Horse, with many references to “the whites, the whites, the whites.” The whites did this, the whites did that, the whites gave the natives smallpox, the whites killed the buffalo. The word spell of the whites. Here’s the deal. Not once does McMurtry call the natives RED, what gives? It’s because…

Hellhound of the Cosmos by Clifford D. Simak book review
This system introduces physical and spiritual stumbling blocks at every turn. I’ve been waylaid, threatened, and blockaded by this horrible, nightmare, system. It changes laws and times. It reverses truth, glorifies lies, condemns the righteous, and steals identities. It deceives every man at every moment. It needs to be eradicated. ZERO ACCOUNTABILITY SYSTEM of THE…

Norstrilia by Cordwainer Smith book review
One of the most vulgar, disgusting books I’ve ever read. Norstrilia by Cordwainer Smith. A novel inspired by debased futurism. Animal sex cats, the girlygirl, c’mell; transsexual deception, departments of nightmare control grid, rampaging capitalists buying the world, exchanging fake monies for valueless living, and euthanasia. It’s all here. The worst form of science fiction,…

Tales of Hoffmann by E.T.A Hoffmann book review
Have you read the Tales of Hoffmann? Oh, what a delight! In this day of ongoing genocide, I sit in my humble cabin, awaiting Federal Police, reading Hoffmann. People dying, doctors lying, nobody needs the truth. Here’s a book perfect for my current circumstance. One to pass the time during the end of it. My…

Omoo by Herman Melville book review
The unchallenged freedom of walking around Tahiti, enjoying free thought, free action, without face mask or bio-invasive testing and/or injections. A world lost to history. If I were to travel to Tahiti without a face mask or some kind of test for garbage medical “science” people, I would certainly be arrested and put in FEMA…

Enchanted Pilgrimage by Clifford D. Simak book review
Enchanted Pilgrimage by Clifford D. Simak I have to admit, I’ve never read Tolkien. It’s a proud measure for me as a reader, to say with confidence, my carnal flesh has never been blemished by GRADE A CHAOS CULT programming contained in Tolkien’s, Lord of The Rings. Folks, it’s some kind of wicked magic. These…

The Best of Cordwainer Smith by Cordwainer Smith book review
The Best of Cordwainer Smith by Cordwainer Smith The secret to reading a book like this is remembering it’s all true. Undeniable, deep programmable feelings of prose. Who were the wizards and witches that devised this enticing text?? How can the revolution story perfectly parallel our present condition? (Joan of Arc theme in Clown Town…
