Books Are Dumb. Reviews are dumberer.

I love reading even though I don't seem to have time to do enough of it. Most of what I read is non fiction and can stray towards art books. Generally I just go into one of the many libraries here in San Diego , CA and see what's on the 'New Books' shelf and go from there. If I liked a book I'll tell you why, if I thought it sucked ass, I'll maybe go into why.

Buddha by Karen Armstrong. ISBN: 0143034367. This was an audio book form the library. Pretty damn cool. I spaced out listening to it in the car once in a while but overall.....I liked it a bunch. I learned a lot about the origins of Buddhism. Pretty neat stuff, worth reading or listening to if you're a lazy douche like me. Posted by Picasa


Degas' Drawings. ISBN: 0486212335. Another book form the library. If you're into drawing or art, this book rocked. Seriously, his sketches are just simply as good as it gets. Composition, style, fuck he was a great master artist. Made me realize how far I have to go to be a great artist. Crap, now I'm gonna go stab myself in the head with a colored pencil. Great book. Posted by Picasa


A Million Little Pieces by James Frey. ISBN: 0385507755. OK, I got the audio book from the library. It was OK. Mostly I wanted to read it out of Oprah spite since she went overboard after the it's a fiction book crap that went down. Anyways, it was ok except for this really annoying habit the author had of repeating soemthing 3 times for effect. Seriously, it got painful by like the millionth little time he fucking used it. Otherwise. eh, good idea for a book. Writing style needs some help but I've read worse. Posted by Picasa


Zen and the Art of Poker : Timeless Secrets to Transform Your Game by Larry Phillips. ISBN: 0452281261. Hmmmmmm well it got good reviews on Amazon.......maybe I'm just not sophisticated enough to get the finer points of the book. Let me give you the abridged version: "Don't play too many sucky hands." There you go. Simply email your thanks for the time saved not reading this one to my address under the profile or via comments. You're welcome...in advance. Posted by Picasa
