God's Other Son par Don Imus

Hilarious, obscene, profound and disturbing. Filled with sexism, racism, misogyny, perversion and deep insights into the mindset of the hoi polli. When I first read this nearly 40 years ago I found it screamingly funny - now it almost reads like a prescient prophecy. A confused and unsettling book, not for the faint of heart or the politically correct. Read at your own risk - may cause paranoia, laughter and despair.

God's Other Son par Don Imus

Like a Palanhiuk book written by a wannabe Dan Jenkins.

Still, it was better than I expected, as long as I ignore the fact that Imus wasn't funny on the radio in my lifetime and was ultimately revealed to be pretty unpleasant.

The unnecessary epilogue complicates the themes a bit, too. A bit of a chickening out.

I almost went three stars, but let's not get carried away.

God's Other Son par Don Imus

I love contrasting this with A Prayer For Owen Meany - examining what it means to be a hand of God and realizing that zealots all through history each think that THEY are the chosen sons of God - and - they all may be just that - who knows?

Two Guys Four Corners:: Great Photographs, Great… par Don Imus

I found this book at a local flea market. I knew that Imus had a large ranch in the southwest but I was not aware he was a photographer. I don't think too much of Imus as a radio personality but I was intrigued by the book. Every since I read Ansel Adams book on the SOuthwest I have been interested in pictures of that area. Imus and his brother Fred have some beautiful photos of the southwest and opposite of Adams photos which are B&W, all of Imus's are in beautiful color. If you like the southwest and beautiful photos of the landscape then you would probably enjoy this book. Imus's short comments are funny as well.… (plus d'informations)
