Weekly Twitter Recap: Two Chucks, a Circus, Food, and of course, Dune
Here’s a recap of what I have spotted people reading in public places:
Water for Elephants by Sara Gruen
Ever thought of running away and joining the circus? This is the story of Jacob who drops out of veterinary school after his parents die. As is turns out his parents spend all their money paying for his school and left him nothing. Distraught, he finds a circus to join. The book chronicles his life as his starts his career at the bottom and works his way up to being put in charge of the animals and puts his veterinary skills to use while falling in love with a co-workers wife, naturally.
Dune by Frank Herbert
I always feel weird talking about books that it seems nearly everybody has read and I have not. The book is about this battle to control some spice that gives peoples long life and psychic powers.
The Omnivore’s Dilemma: A Natural History of Four Meals by Michael Pollan
This is the story of where you food comes from. All food it seems come from other living creatures either in the form of animal or plant or whatnot. The author then does his best to look in to the four meals people eat to discover just where they came from. He also in vestiges the “organic food” crazy that is becoming ever so popular. This book sounds really interesting and one I would check out in the near future.
World War Z by Max Brooks
Who doesn’t love a good zombie book, eh? Max Brooks, son of Mel Brooks, follows up his first zombie book with another. This time it is a collections of interviews from people and their thoughts and stories about how the zombie infestation began. I haven’t read this book but this narrative style (people recounting stories with no real protagonist) is becoming increasingly popular. Word on the street though is that the audiobook is the way to go for this book.
Lullaby by Chuck Palahniuk
Finally, a book I have read before. A supernatural story about a children’s lullaby that when told to them before bed kills them in their sleep. When I read this book it reminded me of The Ring, the film about the video tape that kills you. The protagonist, after loosing a wife and child to the lullaby, goes on a quest to make sure every copy of the rhyme is destroyed. This I feel is a good introduction to Palahniuk’s dark sense of humor.
Sex, Drugs, and Cocoa Puffs: A Low Culture Manifesto by Chuck Klosterman
First and foremost, Chuck Klosterman is the reason I want to start an all-male Blondie tribute band. His book, aptly named Chuck Klosterman IV, is a book that I hold in very high regard and is a recommended read for anyone who likes music culture. Having said that, there is still the issue of pop culture that needs to be dealt with and that is just what he does in this book. The Sims, MTV’s The Real World, and the importance of Woody Allen in terms of getting laid are all covered in this book. High recommended.
