Book Review: "My Oedipus Complex and Other Stories" by Frank O'Connor
I'm going to admit it: I've never read any Frank O'Connor before and I'm not really sure what to think of him. I was kind of avoiding it because of the title - not sure I wanted to read more of this stuff after having recently encountered The Holy Sinner by Thomas Mann. Anyways, at least this book was remotely funny which is more than could be said for the Thomas Mann text I read. I wasn't really looking for a short story anthology and to be honest, I'm biding my time until Tim Curry's autobiography comes out. I'm writing this on the 9th of October 2025 and so, there's not long to wait now. Oh fine, back to Frank O'Connor.

The Wild, Reckless, and Deadly Story of New Jersey’s Infamous Action Park
Across the world, amusement parks promise safe thrills — a place where families can escape for a day of roller coasters, water slides, and sugary snacks. But one park in New Jersey became a legend for all the wrong reasons. Action Park wasn’t just a thrill-seeker’s dream — it was a lawsuit magnet, a chaos zone, and arguably the most dangerous amusement park ever built. Locals nicknamed it Class Action Park and Accident Park, and honestly, they weren’t exaggerating.

Book Review: "Imagist Poetry" ed. by Peter Jones
Hopefully you and I can skim over the legacy of the poet Ezra Pound, who was basically the leader of this movement, and concentrate on what the movement itself was actually about. Imagism: a subculture of poetry focused on deliberate imagery, blossoming in the early 20th century at roughly the same time as Modernism and including a whole range of poets that we've probably heard of, and some that fell into obscurity. I was quite surprised that I became interested in this anthology but I've been waiting a whole long damn time to read it, so here we are.

October 5, 1969
There are plenty of reasons to believe that we are at the end of something. I have watched plenty of the rapture videos out there, both before and after, trying to find some practical reason as to why the chosen ones were not chosen, and they can no longer work or even commute after losing their jobs and cars. There is the growing sense that the world is losing its collective sanity - for what it was worth - with wars, protests, authoritarian governments that seem to ignore what the people want (especially if they put them in power). Things are crumbling. As the poet said, The centre cannot hold. We are doomed!

Book Review: "Behave" by Robert Sapolsky
I read this a while ago and I decided I would give it another go. I had it on my phone and one thing I found is that I was just in a terrible mood when I read it, which means of course that because it is a nonfiction book, I was trying to find holes in everything. Well, now that I'm in a better mood, I'm going to go through this book properly and comment on the things I found particularly intriguing. And yes, I do actually find it intriguing.
