Bridget Jones is a thirty-something woman with incredibly bad habits (smoking, drinking, weight, and word vomit just to name a few) and does not want to die alone being found weeks later being eaten by […]
A tinker is a mender of pots, kettles, pans, etc. Therefore, Tinkers is a very fitting title for this Pulitzer Prize Winning novel as every character is somehow wounded with their past and in some respects is far beyond mending. George Washington Crosby, a lover of the workings of clocks lies dying and reflects upon […]

Squirrel Seeks Chipmunk by David Sedaris is a child’s storybook for adults, or a fucked up version of Aesop’s Fables.

In The Squirrel and the Chipmunk […]
