Bio
I edit STEM books. I like writing, cats, and wine, though not necessarily in that order.
I was raised by wolves in a small forest somewhere in Middle America.
Why don't ketchup bottles squirt correctly? All or nothing seems grifty to me.

You, Two?
Ranking rock bands relatively rather than absolutely is always a good idea. Especially if one would avoid the awkward silence when U2's Rattle and Hum drops a year after telling everyone, their dog, and their grandma that "THE Joshua Tree is the awesomest album ever by the greatest band ever!"

Catcher in the Rye? More Like Poop Flung from on High
Except for the underlying theme of rebellion against authority, Catcher in the Rye offers little to warrant its nearly universal star status. It mercilessly assaults readers with melodrama, whining, and endless, pathetic attempts at cleverness. Accurately portraying its fundamental horribleness would take more words than comprised in the book itself.
