| I love you Wallace, and I'm sad that you're dead, but you don't deserve all the accolades you've received. There are some really brilliant and human writings in this collection, but then some of them are over-done and over-long, much like your Infini...more | |

| This book suffered from the same problems that "Letter to a Christian Nation" did: preaching to the choir. Hey Hitchens, I agree, so tell me something new/fresh/interesting. It's a great book, and probably deserves a higher rating, but I'm just so bo...more | |

Good lord I love this book! ...This book isn't so much about a story, it's about a character, and what he goes through. And...since this is Cormac McCarthy, he's going to go through a lot of crappy stuff. The writing in this book is so fucking smart a...more |

| I'm a huge fan of Hacking, but this collection isn't very good. A lot of these essays are about random or uninteresting topics. I thought I was going to read about biopolitics, but instead was given a LOT of writings on Language and Descartes. Which ...more | |

| Hey, I'm a huuuge fan of Suicide (the book, by Leve), and I loved the Paris Review excerpts from Autoportrait, but, I must be fair and honest, and say that a lot of this book was...you know - plain. Or dull, I suppose. There are moments of great clar...more | |
