Where are the Reviews?

I have a love/hate relationship with novels. I’m a slow reader. Novels take time for me to read, but the pay off is often big.

I much prefer to read and review short stories. Short stories are the focus of The Soulless Machine Review, but I do review novels. Again, novels take time for me to read.

Here is what I’m up to right now:

1. I’m reading Low Man by T.J. Vargo. It is a whorl-wind of darkness that I’m half way through. It is about a man who is down on his luck and has seemingly been sucked into a Dante-like Inferno of doom.

2. I just got a copy of In the Midst Of by C.M. Barons in the mail today. It looks really good.

3. I’m in a book club at work that is reading The World Without Us by Alan Weisman.

4. I just turned my Thesis of short stories in to my committee. I’m nervous. I’ll defend it October 22, 2008.

5. My wife and I bought Spore. It is a big time suck, but I love every minute of it.

So, I’ve got my hands full right now. But, if you have stuff that you would like me to look at, please drop me an email and I’ll be happy to entertain it.

Okay, enough of that. It is time to make pork chops for dinner!

I remember my thesis defense. I brought whip cream and strawberries. Then I was like, while we were eating our delicious whip cream strawberries, "What do you want from me?", Pink Floyd style (post-Roger Waters, off the Division Bell).
