A colleague recommended this epic tome several years ago with high praise. This book is a 900 page journey set in the wake of nuclear apocalypse. It chronicles the experiences of several scattered characters across a wasteland America as they struggle to find others, to determine their destiny, and simply survive in arduous circumstances.

4 New Reviews
My first few reviews are from recent experience at the Brass Rail Deli. To be truthful, only two of the four are from the affectionately monikered “The Rail”. The remainder were from home. Free Will’s C.O.B – This one was categorized as a coffee oatmeal brown. To be truthful the coffee was the predominant factor […]
Waitress – Solicitous Saint or Salacious Seductress?
A sincere and singularly salubrious thought sears my synapses. What it the real role of the waitress? Reasonably, this is also applicable to the waiter. Though society is less likely to consider the sexualization of said stint. If there were not a degree of seduction involved in the serving process, would it not be more economical […]
Awakening the Chrysalis
As one floats through their daily grind/existence (whichever you prefer) there is a beckoning toward an outwardness of the soul. If indeed the recognition of the soul is admissible. Most attribute this pull as a desire for release for the confines of the norm. Some feel that life as it exists is sufficient. Apparently these […]
Life Sucks

That one day of willpower and determination causing loud booze-fueled declarations for change and alterations of 364 days of non-action. For those who actually recall their new years resolution, the success rate is 8%. Not a […]
Impending Ascent
Too often things that are readily available are taken for granted. The luxuries that we have at our fingertips are often assumed to be commonplace. We scramble like manic insects to reap our bread, milk, and eggs when snow arrives, Will the ability to generate french toast sustain us through the aggressive elements? We panic […]
Brumous
It seems I once again draw inspiration from WordPorn. This site has an uncanny knack for titillating the grey matter and arousing the synapses. I have encountered quite a few excellent words thus far from this site, but as I have been lax in reviewing brews of late, this subtle premonitory signal prompts action. Brumous […]
Dreams
Selling make believe is the only way to go. If we sold reality, who would really buy it?
Eleutheromania
Having been recently turned on to WordPorn, (pun absolutely intended) the first word that I am graced with in my Facebook feed is the title of this post. It seems that while Facebook and my browser are tuned in to my shopping habits, offering me new Steve Madden boots and guitar recommendations on every other […]
