Chuck Norris Cannot Be Stopped

Chuck Norris Cannot Be Stopped
By Ian Spector
163p

Goes downhill at the end. But some of my favorites:
Chuck Norris won a game of Connect Four in three moves.
Chuck Norris still doesn't know that Walker, Texas Ranger is just a TV show.
Chuck Norris doesn't have a CTRL key on his keyboard because Chuck Norris is always in control.
Chuck Norris can squeeze apple juice out of a banana.
Windows Vista runs just fine on Chuck Norris' computer. (Love this one since I have Vista on my desktop! Hence why I now have a laptop!)
7/10

Didn't actually have anything to do with vampires, but cute read. I knew it was going to be but I didn't know why, so that was cool.

A Season With Verona

A Season With Verona
By Tim Parks
1559706285 447p

Now I want to write about my first season with ESC, stalking Red Bulls. Great piece, funny and insightful. Perfect ending, not Hollywood. Had to Wiki the team for what happened in the later years, just to see. That's how interested he got me in a team I've never seen! (And no, I'm not one of those people who is a fan of a team they've never seen.)

A Small Death in Lisbon

A Small Death in Lisbon
By Robert Wilson
0151006091 440p

Horrifying but so intricately and delicately done. Wasn't sure how things were going to fit together. As the pages wound down, I kept thinking there was no way there was enough time to explain everything. Yet there was, because he had planted so many clues and threads throughout the way, it all fit together perfectly.
