About meWe are an academically-inclined couple, both working on our doctorates, both voracious readers of sci-fi, fantasy, literature, non-fiction, comic books, children's books, basically anything interesting that we can get our hands on.

About my libraryLots of science fiction and fantasy, a whole bunch of comic books (the single issues aren't even in here), an ever-growing amount of academic books, and a smattering of other interests and ephemera.

Noticed you liked Fight Club, and I was wondering if you'd be interested in reviewing my new novel and posting your comments here as well as a few other book-related sites. Thought you might like my book since it's also about a disturbed bunch of kids and a bit dark :) I could e-mail you the novel in an e-book format if you'd like (I'm out of physical copies at the moment). Let me know if you're interested. Here's a link to a summary in case you're interested:

Hello, Josh & Karen - was just looking thru who'd read Fred Haefele's Rebuilding the Indian, which I just finished reading and reviewed here. Loved it. Hope you did too. I read a lot of memoirs and Fred's is just great. Writing my own too, and stuff like his inspires me. I did the academic life many years ago. Only lasted five years teaching college and ran screaming back into the army. Never regretted it; got me a great life/career with the US Dept of Defense. Retired now; reading and writing to my heart's content. I wish you two all the best in your academic aspirations. - Tim
