Shanghai Escapist
Robert M Liu

AuthorHouse, 2000

A must-read for those with strong interest in the history of the Cultural Revolution upheavals in 1960s-70s China. This is a novel about oppression and misery, about struggle and survival, about escape and escapism, about hope and despair, about love and sex. It is a work of great realism and brilliant description. It rings so shockingly true that you can't even tell fiction from reality. It may very well be a real-life story!

Wonderful extension of Kavalier and Clay
Having read very few comic books before picking up Chabon's first volume of the Escapist, I was completely blown out of the water by the creativity that the authors put into their comic extension of Chabon's "The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Clay." Volume 2 picks up where Volume 1 left, with more of the wonderfully written comic book historical fiction that was peppered throughout the ...

Quantum Ethics: A Thriller

Thunder Press, 2008

An exhilarating read
I loved the premise that a quantum computer could be designed that could hack into any system worldwide. Couple that with a sexy heroine and Thunder the mysterious special ops pro with an uncanny tracking ability and you have a recipe for a really fun thriller. Cassy was a really interesting character with amazing skills and way over her head. This book flies by and is a great marathon read ...

Live the story through the comics
After reading Michael Chabon's "The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Clay," I was disheartened to realize that comic described in the book might never be actualized, and that the descriptions and accounts of the comics in general were fantasized. However, when I learned that Dark Horse Comics was planning on releasing "The Amazing Adventures of the Escapist, Volume 1" I jumped at the ...

Humor 01-Baseball (Humor Columns)

Dutch Productions, 2008

I?m glad I played baseball when I was little, otherwise I?d have missed learning a lot of things that served me well later. Things like don?t put your head up when someone says, ?Heads up,? don?t misjudge, and don?t speak softly unless you carry a big stick are important. Also, it?s better if you don?t learn them all the hard way. I also found how events seem slow-motion just before an accident, how to treat a black eye and why not ...

Humor 02-Campaign Ads

Dutch Productions, 2008

The highlight of the election season is always the political ads, specifically the attack ads. It?s fun to watch candidates find creative ways to put down their opponents. I don?t know where else I?ll find that kind of entertainment, outside Ultimate Fighting. Mind you, I?m not talking about the namby-pamby political ads (vote for me; I?ll take care of your cat when you?re on vacation). Those are no fun. They?re like getting Disney ...
