A Void (Verba Mundi)
$17.95
A Void is a fifty-thousand-word lipogram (writing which unfailingly omits a particular orthographic symbol) posing as a work of fiction. I'm sorry, but I simply cannot put in a good word for this book. Just trying to slog through it was causing such an aching pain in my skull that I almost quit. How I wish I had! Arriving at its conclusion didn't accomplish anything significant for my mind or spirit.

It is just plain silly to churn out paragraph upon paragraph of a story bound by such an artificial and arbitrary linguistic constraint. Why would anybody do such a thing? To show off an ability with a dubious "skill" that confounds clarity of thinking and prohibits lucid points? Obviously by dropping this childish limitation you could actually say what you want, and in a lyrical or charming way to boot. This is not to imply that all constraint is a sign of immaturity. Rhyming and rhythm may constrain an author a bit, but a truly high-quality group of such stanzas contains a captivating kind of music. It is a constraint, all right, but it adds. This kind, though, just subtracts, corrupts, and distorts.

As it stands, this book's grammar sounds unnatural and awkward; its vocabulary shifts without warning from archaic and formal to "hip" and slangy; its plot (a minor thing, almost a postscript) absurdly twists and turns to satisfy our all-important typographical constraint. That's all okay, I'll grant, if this activity is just a hobby and its author aims only for gratification of his own abnormal soul. But inflicting this inanity of wordplay on a broad population is wholly unsatisfactory. Only a totally masochistic bookworm would gladly put up with it, gaily consuming a full publication with only this frivolous trick as its basis. Normal book-loving folks among us should not do so much as to pick up this monstrous parody of writing.

A word of caution to budding authors who may find this sort of pursuit alluring: know that this craft is not art. It is a gimmick and a stunt. Go and construct your ridiculous opus, if you must, but do not try to pass it off as worthy of anybody's admiration or conscious thought. Jot it down on a napkin or a bathroom roll; rid your mind of its sick fascination; and finally throw it in a trash can or flush it down a drain. If only our good wordsmith who brought us A Void had thought to do this, or stuck to a fitting occupation such as making daily crosswords or word-finds for tabloids.

Avoid One Thing
$13.98
I bought this and listened to it once and kind of forgot about it. A friend also got it and encouraged me to listen to it again. I am glad I did. This CD is great. They have a familiar sound, but still come across as original. They are kind of like Alkaline Trio, not in sound, but rather in the sense that their sound is definitly "pop-punk" but somehow they break the mold of the crappy pop punk that is dominating the airwaves. I guess I would descirbe it as a more mature sound, probably because all of the members have been in other bands.
