[Archive] Is The Book Always Better Than The Movie?
Posted on July 22, 2010 | 16 CommentsWelcome to an archived entry from PopBunker.net. We have not always been the pop culture heavyweight that we are now (lets laughter die out)… So we thought it would be a good idea to share some of our excellent but relatively uncirculated material from around... -
Jack Reacher Climbs onto the Big Screen
Posted on July 16, 2010 | No CommentsChristopher McQuarrie screenwriter of The Usual Suspects, Valkyrie, and Wolverine 2 as well as director of The Way of the Gun is in talks to write and direct a big screen adaptation of Lee Child’s One Shot.

Summer Reading: ‘The Dragonbone Chair’ by Tad Williams
Posted on July 14, 2010 | 8 CommentsMy intention in starting the Summer Reading series was to review current or semi-current books that someone might want to add to their summer reading shelf.

Books You Really Should Have Read By Now — “Pattern Recognition”
Posted on July 8, 2010 | 6 CommentsI picked up “Pattern Recognition” after being away from the works of William Gibson since, I don’t know, probably “Mona Lisa Overdrive.” It wasn’t an intentional split — my reading habits are really more like phases, and I think I went into an essayist phase... -

Books You Really Should Have Read By Now — “A Confederacy of Dunces”
Posted on July 1, 2010 | 6 CommentsSo I (and by extension, this column) vanished for a couple of weeks. Sorry about that — I got busy with a bunch of other book stuff, but I’m back now. At least it had to do with books, right? This week’s book you really... -
Summer Reading: “61 Hours” by Lee Child
Posted on June 30, 2010 | 5 CommentsAlthough this review is titled after the 14th and most recent adventure of the long-running Jack Reacher series from Brit Lee Child, Summer Reading could easily recommend nearly all the novels in the hard-boiled series as a nice addition to any summer reading shelf. First,... -
Summer Reading: Dean Koontz “Relentless”
Posted on June 23, 2010 | 2 CommentsRelentless by Dean Koontz (2009) The year was 1992 when last I visited Dean Koontz. Almost twenty years ago I left the writer due to frustration with the lack of deviation from novel to novel. To wit: At that point Koontz’s plots usually revolved around... -
