Not Just for Academics!
This book is a combination of pure Annie Sprinkle and the deconstruction of Sprinkle as provided by critical theorists. The academic sections can be heavy going if you're not used to that kind of writing, but this book is definitely worth getting, even if you end up skipping over the academic parts. The theory is like a frame around the artwork of Annie's life and like any good frame, takes up a ...
Ian Hunter

Columbia, 1990
One of the finest
Ian Hunter by Ian Hunter and featuring Mick Ronson is one of the finest albums to come out of the seventies. Not only are the songs tight, spirited, and well played, but they seem to have stood the test of time. Listening to them now they sound as good as they did back in 1975 when I first bought the lp and wore it out. Though Hunter may not be a 70's rock and roll poetic genius like Bob Dylan ...

The Hard Stuff
I've been looking forward to this one for quite awhile now. HARDCORE HARDBOILED is the first anthology from Todd Robinson's online crime fiction mag THUGLIT, which is easily one of the best venues for original fiction on the internet. What we have here is a sorta "best of" type anthology from Thuglit's first year. Two dozen stories from both heavy hitters in the crime fiction biz and some ...

Seeker of the Truth
"The Age of Quarrel" album by the legendary Cro-Mags is the greatest Punk/Hardcore album ever recorded. Yes, I think it's better than the Bad Brains ROIR release...sorry just my opinion. This book like the aforementioned album is down right raw as it gets. It is brutally honest, sad, hilarious at times, unselfish, unapologetic and more importantly inspiring...it's NYC to the highest degree. John ...

Really, you should buy it.
This is my book so I'm not unbiased in my giving it 5 stars, but disregard the inaccurate Amazon description above. Here's the deal: It's a collection of real online male personal ad photos with the figures obscured, and then my critique of the room's decor behind them. Fight Club author, Chuck Palahniuk included Obscene Interiors in his list of Top Ten Books of the past 10 years - Yay! And ...

Creekers is some of Lee's best work
Edward Lee is one of my favorite Horror Writer's. I haven't read a book of his yet that I have not loved, and Creekers has to be one of his best stories to date. Creekers are a family of outcasts that live in the woods outside the small town of Crick City. They are a mysterious clan that has been inbreeding for centuries. They are hideously deformed with blood red eyes. Phil Straker a ...

Jacob is brilliant
Charlee Jacob revels in beautiful descriptions of gore,and vivid characters that seem as real as anyone you've ever met. All the stories here are wonderful,particularly "Fire." This lady knows how to write.

Beyond Hardcore - Perfectly Kinky, and Totally Hot!
I've read a lot of erotica, both for personal and professional reasons, and Alison Tyler's H is for Hardcore not only more than lives up to its name, but is one of the hottest collections I've ever encountered. "Hardcore" here means kinky, certainly, but it also means boundary-pushing. Edgy. Squirm-worthy. Mathilde Madden's utterly captivating domme in the scorching opener "Me, When I'm With ...
Monster Gaming: The Complete How-To Guide for Becoming a Hardcore Gamer

Great Gaming Guide!
I've been looking all over the place for a gaming guide like this. Most of the books out are very basic or they just cover tips for using certain games. This book really captures what I want to know about gaming. The author seems to really know his stuff. I was drawn to the book because it had a chapter on modding and enhancing game hardware (which turned out to be really good). But the more I ...

true believers
This book rules! It was a straightforward and fun read, though the language borders on colloquial at times. Recommended for those who like any kind of punk rock memoirs or cometbus, but be mindful this is NOT a formal documentation the scene at the time (though it doesn't CLAIM to be!), it is before anything a coming of age centered around the authors experiences and the effect that hardcore & ...

Excellent Training Resource!
One of the most memorable scenes in the 1976 Oscar winning movie for Best Picture, "Rocky," involves Sylvester Stallone pummeling slabs of beef hung in the meat locker where his future brother-in-law Paulie worked. Rocky knew what everyone in the fight game knows, in order to hit hard, you must train to hit hard, and the best tool for this training is the heavy bag. Regardless of your ...

Gotta have the glasses
Without 3-D glasses, this is a mildly good document of the U.S. punk scene in its early years. But WITH the 3-D glasses, what were somewhat muted images become the most sharp, visceral document of a live show you've ever seen. In fact even if you saw none of the shows pictured here, these images in 3-D will take you back to the early punk shows you did see, in the sweaty basements and rental ...

Highly Recommended!
This blunt, irreverent book blurts out what many people in business have long suspected: nearly everything you learned in business school is wrong and most of what you read in corporate mission statements and strategic plans makes no sense. Author Jo Owen takes on all of the shibboleths of yesteryear's management literature - romance your customer, communicate, invite change and so on - and ...

Hardest Times: The Trauma of Long-Term Unemployment
I purchased this title as part of an effort to understand what happened to my family when my father was fired and was subsequently unable to replace his job. The book was almost unbearably sad to read, but it rang absolutely true to the way I remember this crisis and its effect on my father and our family, especially the overwhelming sense of shame we all lived with. Mr. Cottle lists his research ...
The Anti-Matter Anthology: A 1990s Post-Punk & Hardcore Reader

Timeless.
Norm Brannon's anthology reprints interviews from his seminal Anti-Matter fanzine (as well as some stuff he did from Alternative Press). Norm's interview questions always eschewed the boring 'what are your influences' stuff that made reading most fanzines so tedious, choosing instead to talk to band members about relationships and feelings and first crushes. Some of these interviews are more than ...
Hardcore Poaching

Honorable Task
This book has been in publication for a number of years. Probably the difinitive work on the subject. A great companion to "Survival Poaching". Even if you do not intend to use this knowledge. Or despise modern poaching, it is age old and probably not going to go away. You might as well read it to get an idea from the other side.

Don Weekes is at it again!
In 2004, Don Weekes gave us hockey fans another title in the hockey trivia series, "Hardcore Hockey Trivia". The book is filled with some known and obscure facts about some of the star players from the season that preceded the year-long lockout. Did you know that there is a man who lives in Australia named Joe Hockey who knows nothing about hockey? I'll bet you didn't know that the parents ...

Review From a Non-Buddist
I know nothing about Buddism. I saw this book out-of-place in Barnes in Noble, and I liked the title, so I picked it up. I was on a business trip; I had nothing better to do... I don't care if this speaks the truth about Zen and Buddism, as I really could care less. This received 5/5 stars from me for two reasons: 1. It was very well written, and down to earth in style. 2. It made ...

mmmmmm
Wicked book, quick reference for every move for every character, way more informative and easier to use than the move lists in the games booklet, explains the many additions to the PS2's 'Hardcore' version (new stages, new stage breaks in old stages, unlockable characters, many unlockable costumes, new counters, new moves, etc, and so on...), and a great section on 'secrets' ... letting you know ...
