Am I supposed to laugh because there is profanity in the title?

February 17, 2014 by thewheelbarrow Leave a Comment

I chose to listen to this book because, quite frankly, it sounds like fun. I was well aware that this was not the latest Tucker Max "book." If you like Tucker Max, and I must admit that I did when I was 20, just stop now because this book is not for you. Assholes: A Theory is a philosophical study … [Read more]

The Broken Empire Trilogy Book #3

February 17, 2014 by thewheelbarrow 3 Comments

Superb ending to a fantastic trilogy. Mark Lawrence really outdid himself with Emperor of Thorns. I don't want to give away any spoilers so this will be vague. Emperor of Thorns follows our (anti-) hero Jorg of Renar, NOT Ancrath as he caravans to Vienne. There he is to join other kings and … [Read more]

thewheelbarrow’s Review #1: Why Grizzly Bears Should Wear Underpants by Matthew Inman

February 17, 2014 by thewheelbarrow Leave a Comment

Why Grizzly Bears Should Wear Underpants is the fourth book and second anthology from TheOatmeal.com creator, Matthew Inman. It's not really really an anthology but the description is still apt. I have always enjoyed The Oatmeal and this book was on sale at my local Barnes and Noble so I bought it. … [Read more]

Breaking Down the Doors of Death

February 17, 2014 by Mrs. Taffy 2 Comments

If you like a good cliff-hanger, then Rick Riordan is the author for you. In fact, the dedication of The House of Hades reads, "To my wonderful readers: Sorry about that last cliff-hanger. Well, no, not really. HAHAHAHA. But seriously, I love you guys." The House of Hades, the fourth book in The … [Read more]

Badkittyuno’s Review #16: I’m Sorry You Feel That Way by Diana Joseph

February 17, 2014 by badkittyuno Leave a Comment

Full disclosure: I read most of this book while drinking wine in the bathtub. Some of my memories are kind of hazy. From what I can remember though... This is not a memoir full of funny anecdotes. A common complaint on Goodreads (and one that I agree with, although I don't necessarily consider it … [Read more]

Badkittyuno’s Review #15: Supreme Courtship by Christopher Buckley

February 17, 2014 by badkittyuno Leave a Comment

This book was fucking hilarious. I read Thank You For Smoking a couple years ago, which is probably Buckley's best known book. It was pretty funny. I happened to see Supreme Courtship at Half Price Books a few weeks ago, along with a shelf full of his other novels that I didn't know existed. I … [Read more]
