Quarry and a Bunch of NonFiction

DVD

Quarry: the complete first season starring Logan Marshall-Green. TV adaptation of the lead character from Max Allan Collins's fantastic novels about a hit man. Logan come back from Vietnam with no job and a cheating wife. He gets forced by The Broker to kill for a living. Cinemax posted the first two episodes on YouTube for a brief time and the show was very interesting.


NonFiction

The Complete Book of Essential Oils and Aromatherapy by Valerie Ann Worwood. Do you think the author ever considers adding a 'M' and being Wormwood? Wormwood is on page 635.

Not Your Mother's Slow Cooker Cookbook by Beth Hensperger. Well, if it was your mother's did you steal it?

Brew it yourself: make your own beer, wine, hard cider and other concoctions by Nick Moyle and Richard Hood. My brother went to the Czech and the Slovak Republics and tracked down sone distant relatives. The relatives gave my brother a bottle of home brewed vodka which he brought to WI when several relatives met here last summer. My goodness was that vodka vile. Yech. The bottle is still at my house.

The DC Comics Encyclopedia: the definitive guide to the characters of the DC universe. Wait. Should "universe" be capitalized in a subtitle? I suppose that depends on the relationship with the company name, DC.

Pojo's Unofficial Big Book of Pokemon by [no name]. People still dig this. I'm not sure why but they do.

Fiction

Lincoln in the Bardo by George Saunders. Some novel that is supposed to be a big deal.

Heartbreak Hotel by Jonathan Kellerman. Another mystery or something. We also have the audiobook version.

Robots

Beep. Beep-Beep. Whirr. Beep. Beep. Whirr-whirrr-whirr. Beep.
