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.
