Gerry Steen wrote: 20 Dec 2023, 22:31 I finished reading Of Zots and Xoodles. The jargon used was quite intellectual. It was a fun story. Theodil the creator throws the dice to get the creation of the universe started. He has an audience, a committee who constantly complain about how the creation of the universe is happening. The voices of this committee read like they are straight out of a Dr. Seuss book. The phrases they speak are in the style of an anapestic meter used by Dr. Seuss in many of his children's books. This was the delightful aspect of the book.

The zots and xoodles have a mind of their own. They are really chaotic molecules that are constantly growing, changing shape, and colliding. They are the beginnings of the universe.

There is a child who answers philosophically to the anxious comments of the committee. There is also an internuncio who announces the different stages in the creation of the universe.

The artwork throughout the book is cartoonish and full of action. I enjoyed this book that was created by two people on the autism spectrum.

if you want to read something different, read this book.

The next book I want to read is..... Gaudzilla by Judy Juanita. It is a book of poetry that covers social issues from the 1950's to 1980's in the USA. Stay tuned. I will let you know all about it. What book are you reading next?? :techie-studyinggray:
Hi, everyone, I finished reading Gawdzilla by Judy Juanita. This book of poetry was interesting. Juanita uses the words Godzilla and Gawdzilla interchangeably throughout the book. I learned that Godzilla was created and used by the Japanese as a metaphor for the evil of nuclear war. Juanita uses Gawdzilla to represent the evils in American society as witnessed by African Americans. Juanita writes poems about several African Americans and events involving African Americans. I googled a lot to both refresh my memory and learn about these people and events. Through Juanita's poems, I had the opportunity to experience what she had experienced in her lifetime as an African American woman. If this sounds interesting to you, my review of Gawdzilla should be published soon. Stay tuned! The next book I want to review is Grand Slam Life by Milton Haber M.D. :techie-studyinggray:

I finished reading A Grand Slam Life. It is a book written by Dr. Milton Haber who serves the community of Laredo, Texas. He is a doctor who truly cares about his patients and who has always gone the extra mile for each of them. He also shares his experience with Covid-19 as he landed in the hospital and needed the care that he usually gives people. He is an interesting storyteller. If anyone would like to read my review of this book, here is the link. viewtopic.php?f=24&t=416665
Ciao for now! :techie-studyinggray:

Wuthering Heights. I read it when I was in school. I want to read it again because I feel like I will appreciate it more now. Also Siddhartha by Hermann Hesse, because it is a popular book and I've heard good reviews about it.

Hi, thank you for participating in this forum. Let us know what you think of Wuthering Heights after you have read it for the second time. It will be interesting to know how much more you appreciate it than when you were in school. If you read Siddhartha, give us your feedback about that book as well. Take care. :techie-studyinggray:

It was a great world-building book and the plot took off right away. So much happened during the first book and so much potential for things to come! Highly recommend if you like fantasy/suspense series.

Hi, Pranav, I read a lot of non-fiction. I rarely read fiction. However, to take a break, I will read a fiction novel occasionally. I like to escape into a different world once in a while. The Harry Potter series will help you to do this. Let us know your feedback about the Harry Potter stories. :tiphat:
