Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: WHEN THE JAPANESE navy attacked Pearl Harbor in 1941, it triggered a massive U.S. retaliation and a succession of incendiary bombardments. War is not Cool at all, Fools!, is a collection of poetry called Tanka, written by the author Hiroko Falkenstein. Each poem is beautifully written, yet profound, and can be read in a matter of seconds. However, as the author explains, the meaning of each poem might take longer to fully absorb. When Tokyo was hit during the U.S. bombings, amid hellish chaos, Hiroko’s family quickly fled the capital in a jam-packed train to the relative safety of a fishing village. They were in the minority of those who were fortunate enough to escape; however, life would become even tougher thereafter as streets were filled with the homeless, the wounded and orphans who were begging for food . . . casualties of war who would feel the effects almost twenty years after the war had come to an end. This book of poetry is an intimate, personal account of a Japanese woman’s childhood and adult experiences during and after the Second World War. Each poem is concise, moving, and somewhat harrowing in the description of the casualties of war.

Book excerpt: The Fool's Progress, the "fat masterpiece" as Edward Abbey labeled it, is his most important piece of writing: it reveals the complete Ed Abbey, from the green grass of his memory as a child in Appalachia to his approaching death in Tuscon at age sixty two. When his third wife abandons him in Tucson, boozing, misanthropic anarchist Henry Holyoak Lightcap shoots his refrigerator and sets off in a battered pick-up truck for his ancestral home in West Virginia. Accompanied only by his dying dog and his memories, the irascible warhorse (a stand-in for the "real" Abbey) begins a bizarre cross-country odyssey--determined to make peace with his past--and to wage one last war against the ravages of "progress." "A profane, wildly funny, brash, overbearing, exquisite tour de force." -- The Chicago Tribune
