Rating: 5 stars I’m taking a break from reading for awhile or something so I decided my last book would be Maus. Undoubtedly you’ve heard of Maus, given how it was published in its entirety by 1991 for the second volume and 1986 for the first one. The individual pieces…

Andy and I talk about Watchmen, the best graphic novel that exists. It's all about the evils of humankind's wants and the cowardice that allows it. https://soundcloud.com/user-408474538/episode-106-watchmen-pt-1 https://soundcloud.com/user-408474538/episode-107-watchmen-pt-2 https://soundcloud.com/user-408474538/episode-108-watchmen-pt-3

Rating: 3.5 stars I re-read V because I’d recently re-read Watchmen and wanted to re-read some comic books to see how they’ve aged now that I’m better read and more perspicacious (such as being able to use the word perspicacious). If you think of ever watching the movie (2006), don’t.…

Rating: 5 stars When I started We, I was reminded much of Nadja by André Breton. Both written around the same time, they are hard to read. In fact, I never finished Nadja. Reading We was often a slog, and I don’t blame the translator whatsoever. I think it was…

Rating: 4 stars I had a hard time thinking of how to rate this book because it started off in a way that I didn’t like and felt that way until a bit more than halfway through. Then that last half though was pretty good. I once had a class…

Andy and I talk about Cockroach, which is a novella that pretends it has anything to do with Kafka's The Metamorphosis. https://soundcloud.com/user-408474538/episode-104-cockroach https://soundcloud.com/user-408474538/episode-105-cockroach-pt-2

Rating: 4.5 stars I used to have a friend who always complained about non-STEM people or whoever using physics/math concepts in their writing while having no idea of it, such as relativity, quantum entanglement, wormholes or a billion other things. This same friend liked Star Trek, so uh, I guess…

Rating: 5.5 stars First, an aside. The copy of Watchmen that I got has a nice box on the front telling us that the graphic novel’s now an HBO series, which is kinda funny, right? The events of the book are mostly (kinda) in the movie, which seems to have…

Andy and I talk about the prototypical book about a man who chooses a liberal arts degree over STEM. https://soundcloud.com/user-408474538/episode-102-stoner https://soundcloud.com/user-408474538/episode-103-stoner-pt-2

Rating: 2.5 stars I waited to get this book for about half a year, and when I finally got through the library holds, it came the same day as Stoner. “Oh no, I only have three weeks and a bunch of work to do, how will I ever get through…
