I just finish reading my first Edward Abbey book, The Monkey Wrench Gang.
I became aware of Abbey about 2 years ago when I met a man who quoted him fairly often. Now, I have finally gotten around to reading one of his most celebrated, er, rather notorious novels. And I have to say, I’m planning [...]

The Monkey Wrench Gang: Sabotage in the Southwest
Bookish
I recently started trying to track my reading list on goodreads. It seems like a good community site and a way to find other books I’d like to read. But it is much simpler to keep my list here at Living Juicy and write reviews as I have time. Though I’m afraid my site lacks [...]
Stichomancy
Stichomancy: A form of divination by randomly choosing a word or verse and interpreting an oracular meaning from it to answer an inquirer’s question usually concerning a course for future action.

The bookshelf – Lullaby
I recently read Lullaby by Chuck Palahniuk (Pala…wha? I have no idea how to pronounce this name.) Mr. P is also the author of Fight Club. I figured since I was so fond of the movie his book Fight Club was based on, that I may like to check out some of his other [...]
Dem bones
These were the lovely bones that had grown around my absence: the connections—sometimes tenuous, sometimes made at great cost, but often magnificent—that happened after I was gone. And I begin to see things in a way that let me hold the word without me in it. The events that my death wrought were merely the [...]

Basketball Diaries — Three stars
This has been on my list to of movies to see for some time. I finally got around to watching it and I thought was good. Leonardo did a very fine job of playing a junkie. I guess. Not that I know any junkies or have ever watched one of them [...]
