Fuck You, Penguin: Jaded hipster owls think they've seen it all
http://www.fupenguin.com/2009/04/jaded-hipster-owls-think-theyve-seen-it.html
Fuck You, Penguin. A blog where I tell cute animals what's what. Monday, April 6, 2009. Jaded hipster owls think they've seen it all. Owls are always making snarky fucking asides like they're above it all. A perfect example of this was the other day. We were eating some really good watermelon sorbet together, and I was like, "Is this great or what? Haha, he looks sooo bored. April 6, 2009 at 6:04 AM. Even his facial expression suggests that he's above it all. April 6, 2009 at 6:05 AM. Owl, I can't even d...

The Written Nerd: The Thousand Autumns of Jacob de Zoet by David Mitchell
http://writtennerd.blogspot.com/2010/03/thousand-autumns-of-jacob-de-zoet-by.html
Confessions of an independent bookseller and unrepentant book nerd. Monday, March 08, 2010. The Thousand Autumns of Jacob de Zoet by David Mitchell. The Thousand Autumns of Jacob de Zoet. Random House, June 2010. Anyone who has ever read my blog, or ever met me, stands a good chance of having heard me talk about David Mitchell. It's rather satisfying, at my age, to have discovered my Favorite Living Writer. Ever since Cloud Atlas. And Number Nine Dream. And Black Swan Green. Will it move you in the same ...

The Written Nerd: The Unnamed by Joshua Ferris
http://writtennerd.blogspot.com/2010/01/unnamed-by-joshua-ferris.html
Confessions of an independent bookseller and unrepentant book nerd. Thursday, January 28, 2010. The Unnamed by Joshua Ferris. Note to readers, if there still are any about: I've taken a long hiatus from regular posts on this blog, for the simple reason that I've realized the dream I wrote about in my very first post. And opened a bookstore. Regan Arthur Books, December 2009). I didn't read Josh Ferris' breakout debut novel, Then We Came To The End. In which one rather arrogant, powerful man's reduction t...

Fuck You, Penguin: Just say no to kangaroos
http://www.fupenguin.com/2008/12/just-say-no-to-kangaroos.html
Fuck You, Penguin. A blog where I tell cute animals what's what. Monday, December 8, 2008. Just say no to kangaroos. Oh, I get it, Kangaroo. You're just hanging out, right? I bet if I asked you what you were doing, you would probably say you were "chillaxin'" or something. You probably think you look pretty cool, but I know better, Kangaroo, because YOU ARE AS A HIGH AS A KITE RIGHT NOW. Kangaroo, did you ever stop to think about the kids? December 8, 2008 at 11:32 PM. December 11, 2008 at 4:44 PM. Disco...

Fuck You, Penguin: Are you fucking kidding me, Tamarin?
http://www.fupenguin.com/2009/01/are-you-fucking-kidding-me-tamarin.html
Fuck You, Penguin. A blog where I tell cute animals what's what. Wednesday, January 14, 2009. Are you fucking kidding me, Tamarin? What are you, in the witness protection program? Or is that supposed to be ironic and you actually hate beards? I'm sure you've gotten away with a lot up to this point in your life because you are a monkey, and the more you look like an old man the more attention you get. But it's time to grow up, Tamarin. Take some responsibility for your actions. January 14, 2009 at 5:19 AM.

Fuck You, Penguin: Dissatisfied ferrets resort to Jewish guilt

Fuck You, Penguin. A blog where I tell cute animals what's what. Tuesday, November 10, 2009. Dissatisfied ferrets resort to Jewish guilt. Awwww but its soo cute! I love ferrets. I think they are underrated. November 10, 2009 at 8:03 AM. I once had a pet ferret named Pythagoras- he had strikingly triangular ears. He died from the cold when I left him in my roadster on New Years Eve. To be fair, he was an idiot. November 10, 2009 at 8:06 AM. Props for the weasel. November 10, 2009 at 8:19 AM. Ferrets are l...

Fuck You, Penguin: I doubt Nathan Lane feels threatened
http://www.fupenguin.com/2009/10/i-doubt-nathan-lane-feels-threatened.html
Fuck You, Penguin. A blog where I tell cute animals what's what. Friday, October 30, 2009. I doubt Nathan Lane feels threatened. This nudibranch apparently thinks it's the cutest thing on the block just because it's the neon equivalent of a drama kid. Prancing around the ocean like you have a spine doesn't mean you should pose jazz-hands style like you're in a college production of Fame. Talk about cheesy. Was this the nudibranch's headshot for auditions? October 30, 2009 at 6:55 AM. Or porn name perhaps?

Fuck You, Penguin: Stingrays forget their name is a dead giveaway
http://www.fupenguin.com/2009/04/stingrays-forget-their-name-is-dead.html
Fuck You, Penguin. A blog where I tell cute animals what's what. Monday, April 27, 2009. Stingrays forget their name is a dead giveaway. I'm gonna need something a lot more convincing than those soft eyes and flappy wings, buddy. Maybe, like, a signed agreement that you won't sting me. Beyond that, Stingray, there isn't much I can do for you. So please, stop smiling like that, or at least only get photographed from the top so no one can see it. It makes you look desperate.

The Written Nerd: Arrow Pointing Nowhere by Elizabeth Daly (Felony and Mayhem Part 2)
http://writtennerd.blogspot.com/2010/02/arrow-pointing-nowhere-by-elizabeth.html
Confessions of an independent bookseller and unrepentant book nerd. Saturday, February 13, 2010. Arrow Pointing Nowhere by Elizabeth Daly (Felony and Mayhem Part 2). By Elizabeth Daly (Felony and Mayhem, May 2009). As I mentioned in the previous post, a large part of the charm of the "Vintage" mysteries published by Felony and Mayhem. Is the immersion in the past. For a sense of the Agatha-Christie-only-more-so appeal, I can't say it better than F&M's modern back cover copy from Arrow Pointing Nowhere.
