    José Saramago: Death With Interruptions

    Death with interruptions starts out as classic Saramago, like Blindness it deals more with the outcome and human nature than it does the cause. In Blindness for those who have read it, he deals not so much with the epidemic of Blindness but rather the chaos that it creates among the nation, a...

It was a real eye opener...

    Hello there

    Today is my first day and this is my first post, glad to know everyone. I love any book that can hold my short attention span. I tend to like darker books, whether comedy such as "A Dirty Job" by Chris Moore, or drama, such as "Blood Meridian" or "The Road" by McCarthy. I am here hoping to...
