A Rapturous Verbatim: Early Review: Flying
http://rapturousverbatim.blogspot.com/2009/12/early-review-flying.html
A blog that thinks it's significant, for a world that thinks it's civilized. Friday, December 18, 2009. The long, drawn out process of catching up on the late reviews I've had to do as a member of the LibraryThing. Early Reviewers group is, officially, at an end! And, if I may say so myself, what a way to clear out the backlog. In what has clearly been a case of saving the best for last- or, more appropriately, saving the longest for last- I have finally gotten around to reading Flying. What makes the no...

A Rapturous Verbatim: July 2006
http://rapturousverbatim.blogspot.com/2006_07_01_archive.html
A blog that thinks it's significant, for a world that thinks it's civilized. Thursday, July 13, 2006. Longing for the Old Fecundity of November. Part of me knows that I can write some of this fatigue off as the oppressiveness of the summer heat, which I never had to deal with when wearing sweatpants and a sweatshirt during my December runs. But the rest of me knows I'm only kidding myself: I've been falling off the wagon for some time and not been able to bring myself back astride of the old pace. That h...

A Rapturous Verbatim: April 2006
http://rapturousverbatim.blogspot.com/2006_04_01_archive.html
A blog that thinks it's significant, for a world that thinks it's civilized. Wednesday, April 12, 2006. A Lament on Happiness. I know this may seem like an unusual title for a post, so I'll spare any particularly lengthy explanation and go directly into what's been on my mind. Be spontaneous, shouldn't it? I've been left to conclude that one who's forced to think about if they're really happy can't possibly be as happy as they claim. So now I can't help but wonder what it is that's got me down. It also d...

A Rapturous Verbatim: Early Review: Ambrose Bierce's Write It Right
http://rapturousverbatim.blogspot.com/2009/10/early-review-ambrose-bierces-write-it.html
A blog that thinks it's significant, for a world that thinks it's civilized. Saturday, October 31, 2009. Early Review: Ambrose Bierce's Write It Right. Having fallen horribly behind on my Early Review books for LibraryThing. I am proud to say that I am, perhaps for the first time, publishing an "early review" for a book that has not actually been published yet! The lucky recipient of my first timely review is, interestingly, a nonfiction work, Ambrose Bierce's. Truth be told, when it tries to be the latt...

A Rapturous Verbatim: Ill. Advised.
http://rapturousverbatim.blogspot.com/2009/09/ill-advised.html
A blog that thinks it's significant, for a world that thinks it's civilized. Wednesday, September 23, 2009. I'm pretty sure it, like all substantial psychological issues, stems back to my childhood. I recall getting the chicken pox in kindergarten, just after my third-grade brother got over his bout of the itchy spots. He had just over ten spots, which is commonly seen as the bare minimum to guarantee you won't get them ever again. I had them all over my body. Get tend to be pretty intense, even if they ...

A Rapturous Verbatim: What Would I Say To You Now?
http://rapturousverbatim.blogspot.com/2010/07/what-would-i-say-to-you-now.html
A blog that thinks it's significant, for a world that thinks it's civilized. Thursday, July 15, 2010. What Would I Say To You Now? Over the past six months, I've undergone some pretty drastic changes. I've moved to a new city, started a new and totally unfamiliar job, and began in earnest the process of trying to piece together what exactly this crazy life of mine is going to look like. Back when I first started A Rapturous Verbatim. How about that, huh? It was also, ultimately, depressing as hell. Posts...

A Rapturous Verbatim: Early Review: Pretend All Your Life
http://rapturousverbatim.blogspot.com/2010/04/early-review-pretend-all-your-life.html
A blog that thinks it's significant, for a world that thinks it's civilized. Wednesday, May 05, 2010. Early Review: Pretend All Your Life. It's been a long time, but at last I am once more posting another selection I received from the LibraryThing. Early Reviewer's program. (I know. You're all thrilled. Restrain thyselves, if you please.). The latest selection is Pretend All Your Life. Pretend All Your Life. By the time Pretend All Your Life. Posted by Dave at 5/05/2010 10:20:00 PM. A Tournament of Lies.
