| Category | Leisure & Lifestyle | | Assunto | Good News by Edward Abbey |
| Mensagem | In this book Abbey tells the story of a group of survivors in a post-apocalyptic world. The main character is Jack Burns a anarchist cowboy who wants to rescue his son from the city and its army. The army is controlled by a very insane but very authoritarian former officer who has reintroduced many of the less savory aspects of militarism and tyranny to the world. In many ways I found this the most enjoyable of Abbey’s books because his writing fits better in a post-apocalyptic world ... |

| Category | Arts | | Assunto | The Fools Progress by Edward Abbey |
| Mensagem | Today’s book is The Fools Progress by Edward Abbey. This book was interesting because it truly shows what the secular American lives for, nothing. The work is in many ways Abbey’s autobiography even though he used imaginary characters to tell his story. His is the fate of those who can not conform to reality. The book has two intermixed stories running side by side. The first is the present day and his trip from Arizona to West Virginia. And the second is the main characters ... |

| Category | Arts | | Assunto | Black Sun by Edward Abbey |
| Mensagem | I wish I could say that I had enjoyed the book that I’m talking about
today but if I said that I would be lying. The book of the day is
Edward Abbey’s, yes him again, Black Sun. This book does not take
place in the same timeline that the other two Abbey books I have
reviewed take place in but instead in another vision of our own world.This story can be best said to be a love story although a depressing and bleak view of love it is. The main character is a worker at a ... |

| Category | Arts | | Assunto | Hayduke Lives! by Edward Abbey |
| Mensagem | Today I am reviewing a book by an author that I have discussed
before. The book is Hayduke Lives! and the author is Edward Abbey. This book is the sequel to The Monkey Wrench Gang and it takes place much later in time. One interesting feature of the book is the fact that it is supposed to take place in the real world and so many of the characters in this book have read the previous book. The basic outline of the book is more ecoterrorism but it is gotten to by a different method than in ... |

| Category | Arts | | Assunto | The Monkey Wrench Gang by Edward Abbey |
| Mensagem | OK now before I get started with the book, I am a little tired tonight so the review may be a little hazy although not as hazy as Hayduke’s normal driving condition. The book I am discussing tonight is The Monkey Wrench Gang by Edward Abbey. The book is about people that have all the brains I associate with the environmental terrorist movement. The main characters are a group of people that through their actions do more harm to the environment than good although you won’t hear the ... |
