Museum Legs by Amy Whitaker
If you’ve ever considered going to an art museum and then thought, errr, I’ll do something else… If you’ve ever arrived at one and left a little glazed and confused… If you’ve ever thought, I might read an eight-page article about art museums but not a whole book… Then this is your story. Museum Legs—taken from a term for art fatigue—starts with a question: Why do people get bored and tired in art museums and why does that matter? As Whitaker writes in this humorous and incisive collection of essays, museums matter for reasons that have less to do with art as we know it and more to do with business, politics, and the age-old question of how to live. Maybe the great age of museums will yet be a great age of creativity and hopeful possibility in everyday life.

I'm mostly a magazine reader. If I try to read a novel in bed, I conk out right away. I am interested in trying to read classics in this new format - upright, during daylight hours!

It is safe to say that I am not a reader of the "classics", however I am very open-minded and will read a wide array of different titles across many different genres and themes.
Favorite Authors: Arthur Nersesian, Mumia Abu-Jamal, David Mamet, Kurt Vonnegut, Ernesto Sabato, Ray Bradbury, Michael Cunningham

Kahuna's Heavy Hitters created by
Kahuna Deluxe
We aim to be a very sternly critical bunch. If the name "curmudgeon" has ever been aimed at you for your ability to find fault, join up here and level some picadillos at famous literature and pulp classics.
