Julie's Gift: Memories of London ReviewI just read 'Julie's Gift' written by Kevin Kirsch, a husband who is not a feelings sharer, but through this novella lets us all know (including his wife) that he does have deep feelings. It is a nice light read that may make you look at your unromantic partner a bit differently since it reminds you that just because feelings are not shared doesn't mean they're not felt. The plot is not riveting and you won't find a car chase, but that's the best part. It revolves around a couple's anniversary trip to London, England. The husband admits his idea of a trip is from the couch to the fridge, but goes out of love for his wife. It unfolds from there. The coolest thing about this book is that it was penned in secret by the husband and presented to her as a Valentine's surprise! Julie's Gift has great sample itineraries (how they actually spent their days in London) as well as the author's Top Ten London Travel Tips for the Guys (funny and useful list).
Not everyone is romantic or able to share feelings aloud, and many of those people are men. This book is a thoughtful and dare I say passionate shout to his wife to tell her that even when he doesn't say so, he is happy and lucky to be with her.Julie's Gift: Memories of London OverviewKevin and Julie travel to London. Kevin loathes sightseeing. Julie is the quintessential tourist. Kevin ends up enjoying the trip but doesn't tell Julie. He secretly writes a book about his fond memories to surprise her and express his love.

The Religion War ReviewThe Religion War is a direct follow up to God's Debris. God's Debris is almost entirely a thought experiment with the setting and characters as a backdrop, while The Religion War takes it a step forward by creating a future world in which the Muslim and Christian nations are on the brink of war.
Geared towards "those with short attention spans," the lack of transitions and expositions may be unsettling and almost jarring to some. Scott Adams is definitely "thinking like an engineer" with minimal literary devices in place to lay the groundwork for the reasoning and message the book is based on.
The book offers very few new ideas philosophically, but presents them in a manner that are thought-provoking and digestible to the open-minded. Religion cannot hold up to any sort of logicial rigour, and Adams suggests to have faith its literal tenets is "stupid." Yes, he actually uses the word "stupid." Atheists and agnostics will enjoy the manner in which some of the big questions are tackled logistically, but believers may be turned off and even offended. Regardless, the approach to the "big questions" in the eyes of the main character is definitely worth reading about and considering.
The fundamental problem, besides the plot holes, is that Adams paints a world in which people and opinions can be changed through reasoning, and that smart people are "right." Looking at all the hatred that exists in the world today, this is definitely a big stretch. Smart people may be right, but convincing less educated people of such is nearly impossible.
At many times it seems even implausible that such unreasonable characters would listen to reason, but the reader has to keep in mind the conversations are a device to facilitate the ideas Adams is trying to convey.
This book is definitely worth the read and the flaws are somewhat easy to gloss over if you look for the underlying message.The Religion War OverviewWith publication of The Religion War, millions of long-time fans of Scott Adams's Dilbert cartoons and business best sellers will have to admit that the literary world is a better place with Adams on the loose spreading new ideas and philosophical conundrums. Unlike God's Debris, principally a dialogue between its two main characters, The Religion War is set several decades in the future when the smartest man in the world steps between international leaders to see if he can prevent a catastrophic confrontation between Christianity and Islam that would destroy most of civilization. The parallels between where we are today and where we could be in the near future are clear.Adams says The Religion War targets "bright readers with short attention spans-everyone from lazy students to busy book clubs." The book may be a three-hour read, but it's packed with concepts that will be discussed long after the last page is turned, including a list of "Questions to Ponder in the Shower" that will underline the story's purpose of highlighting the most important-yet most ignored-questions in the world.

Garth Ennis' Chronicles Of Wormwood ReviewPhenomenal!!!!!!!!!
Absolutely phenomenal!!!!
Ennis' closest series to "Preacher", and easily his most hilarious yet!!! (which is saying a lot)
I can personally guarantee you'll laugh until your eyes drown in tears,
till your guts split from your sides, your lungs deflate, and you suffocate on your own laughter.
This title is just that amazing!!!
There's all kinds of sex, & blood,
a reluctant Antichrist and his talking rabbit,
strategically-placed genitalia, more sex, booze,
oceans of blasphemy, plans for armageddon,
a wild-road-trip straight into the heart of the underworld,
even more blood, a sexually-crazed pope, Judas, Jesus, Joan of Arc,
and of course, the roads of Hell.... which are paved in mimes.
The art is clean & crisp courtesy of Jacen Burrows who also worked with Ennis on 303 for the same "Avatar" label.
And the colors are nothing short of amazing.
If you know the name Garth Ennis, you already know what kind of story you're in for.
But beware, none of his tails have ever been so ridiculously funny.
If you want to laugh,
and you don't mind sex, booze, blood, & blasphemy,
this title is your unholy grail.
MORAL OF THE STORY:
On the seventh day God.... masturbatedGarth Ennis' Chronicles Of Wormwood OverviewDanny Wormwood is the Anti-Christ, his father is Satan, and his demonic powers help him fit right into New York's slimy television entertainment business.
