Watchmen by Alan Moore

Watchmen by Alan Moore shows many key themes we see so often in regular life. This book faces the issue of personal philosophy. It shows the difference to live in pain or to not live at all. It shows the decisions we may have to face, and how to deal with them. When Dr.Manhattan is accused of spreading cancer to the people who he loved, he decided to exile himself, instead of dealing with the consequences of this issue. If shows that you can avoid possiblilities, but it will affect others just the same. This is an important theme in real life, and it shows options and opportunities in real life. Whether your a mask or a human, these issues can be serious problems in modern society.

Weird Al: The Book

Weird Al the book is the memoir of the Comic pop star, Weird Al Yankovic. It explains the history of Weird Al's music, and his life. I have seen Weird al in concert, and was looking to learn more about his life. Weird al actually went to college to become an architect. He was a big fan of a radio personell, Dr.Demento. He wrote the song, My Bologna, and it was featured on the Doctor Demento radio broadcast. The story of this life is actually very interesting. A lot of songs by Weird Al also where created by him. Weird al is famous for parodying songs, and got popular for doing it. His albums have gone gold and platinum. Some of his hits include, Fat, Eat it, and Amish Paradise.

The Year of Living Biblically

A J. Abrams book, The Year of living biblically, is incredible. It is a book about a Angostic man from a Jewish background, who decides he wants to take the Bible and Torah completely literally for a whole year. Half of this year will focus on the Torah, half on the Bible. This literal following includes following religious sacrifices, building, praying, binding prayers to the body, and many other rituals.

This book really shows religious transformation. A J goes from simply believing in a higher power to following Christ and God to the highest degree. He follows them, preaches about them, even almost endangers his life by doing this. He learns about the Amish, the Catholics, the Jews, and even the Snake handlers. A. J learns about the cultures and traditions passed down from his great grandparents, and learns about the passion of Christ. I think this is an incredible book, and teaches a lot about literal meaning, and interpretation. I recommend this book to anyone looking for a funny, intriguing, and religious story.

The Swamp Thing: Book 3

I love the Swamp thing. I have read books 1-3, the crossover with animal man, many of the new single new 52 issues, and am watching the movie later this week. But this book really intrigued me. Instead of the normal comic interface, this book did something different. It used more literary devices and truly showed how the Swamp thing was feeling. It also introduces the newest villain in the seres, who was tragically deformed by plutomium. I think this book is incredible, and shows how well Alan Moore can write. This was a triumphiant book, and i really look forward to reading Moore's future work.

The Salmon of Doubt

The salmon of doubt was created as a conbonation of all the unfinished works by Douglas addams. It shows his love for Monty Python, the Beatles, and comedy genius of the world. I think this book shows the best of Douglas, even in his passing. From Dirk Gently to The HItchhikers guide, Adams was a genius. He created thousands of pages of memorable stories, and guided America.  think this was an incredible book, and i reccommend it to everyone.

Sonnet 1

Through the notes I listen, a troubled song

And throughout the notes moving so freely

I wonder to myself what's going wrong

Why would someone say songwriting is easy?

The song bounces and never fails to play

It rhymes and it remains harmonious

Yet something seems simply not to go my way

Maybe it needs to be melodious?

It keeps me moving through what we call life

And it makes me move on better without strife

Maybe I must spend more time with the wife?

And not end my life promptly with a knife.

  

The song flashes always throughout my head

Maybe I must promptly go to bed.

Douglas Adams : A Salmon Of Doubt

Douglas Adams book "A Salmon of Doubt" is a very cool and interesting book. Technically , It was written by him, but it was published after his death. It was compiled of his letters to editors, his writing for other books that never came out, and his memoirs. It's a really good book, and shows behind the scenes look at Douglas ' writing. I recommend this book to anyone who has read a Douglas Adams book, np but not to anyone who is just starting out with his writing. Douglas style of writing is an acquired taste. But if you enjoy British humor, like the Pythons, then you will enjoy this book .
