Retrograde: Week In Review #4

Retrograde is a weekly meme I do to look back on my week and look back on a favorite book and reintroduce it to the world. Gatsby is about sex, drugs, crime, cheating, death, lies, and every bad boy your mother ever warned you about all wrapped up into a one short book. It’s like New Year’s Eve that lasts for weeks over a hot, humid summer in New York. It’s exciting, it’s tragic, and it’s totally worth the few hours you’ll spend reading it. This week for Retrograde I’m choosing The Great Gatsby. by F. Scott Fitzgerald. For last week’s Feature and Follow the question was if you could gift one book to the world which one would it be? Now, my favorite book, as I’ve stated all over the freaking place, is called Woken Furies and it’s filled with sex, drugs, swearing, and violence – all kinds of… Read more »

Retrograde: Week In Review #3

Retrograde is a weekly meme I do to look back on my week and look back on a favorite book and reintroduce it to the world. Watch a special Christmas message from Junco! This week my choice is Ender’s Game by Orson Scott Card, which is, if you have never read it – it’s a game-changing novel about how we might interact with aliens and war. Pretty much war, just like Watership Down. Ender’s Game was first published in 1985 – so the whole Vietnam hysteria was winding down just as the cold war was heating up. If you’re too young to remember, kids in the 80’s were pretty scared of Russia and the whole nuclear bomb thing – even though most of that nuclear stuff happened decades before. Communism was in full swing (as far as we knew, anyway) – it was a daily battle between Regan and Gorbachev and… Read more »
