Rude Awakenings: Two Englishmen on Foot in Buddhism's Holy Land
Rude Awakenings: Two Englishmen on Foot in Buddhism's Holy Land Review
This is a lovely book! It really seems like a genuine account of the travels of these 2 guys through "Mother India," which seems a little too, um, rough for my likes in travel. Yet it is just a great book!
I was especially Ajahn Sucitto's words, which contained many wonderful pearls of wisdom, especially when he speculates about mental processes, meditation, what the Buddha really did under the Bodhi tree, and so forth.
This is a must-read for people who love "travel Buddhism," as I do!!
Rude Awakenings: Two Englishmen on Foot in Buddhism's Holy Land Overview
Half down-and-dirty adventure and half inspirational memoir, Rude Awakenings documents an unusual pilgrimage. Two very different men — earthy scientist Nick Scott and fastidious Buddhist monk Ajahn Sucitto — together spend six months retracing the Buddha’s footsteps through India. Told alternately by Sucitto and Scott in their distinctively different voices, this story blends self-effacing humor, philosophical explorations, drama, travel observations, and the occasional giant fruit bat. Rude Awakenings is a heady record of survival and spirituality set against the dramatic backdrop of one of India’s most lawless regions.

X-Men: The New Age of Apocalypse
X-Men: The New Age of Apocalypse Review
Back in the 90's Marvel released a series called Age of Apocalypse where the heroes of the marvel universe, X-Men in particular, were recreated in a world where Xavier had been killed and Apocalypse had taken control of much of the world. It has since become known as one of Marvel's most successful spin-off series and was both critically acclaimed and fan appreciated.
Now, ten years later, Marvel released this collection of all six New Age of Apocalypse comics and the Age of Apocalypse One shot. The one shot itself does little more than fill in a few gaps from the original story and without the original Age of Apocalypse is of little worth. The six piece mini series however is a continuation/stand alone series that's an interesting new take on the original X-Men, as well as those from the AoA universe. Chris Banchalo's art is what really makes this story worth the money. He offers a new design of all of the previous characters and his art style is fresh and dark, very appropriate for the AoA universe. The story however is where the graphic novel falls apart. Not that it is horrible, but author Akira Yoshida has a few unexplained gaps like how Psylock suddenly became Japanese or how Wolfsbane freed herself of her transitional form. Yoshida leave plenty of spots for action where the artwork really access and in doing so makes up for his misshapes. In the end the story is readable and the artwork is admirable, this book should defiantly be picked up if you're a fan of the original series, or Weapon X (Wolverine) as a lot of the story focuses on him.
X-Men: The New Age of Apocalypse Overview
Celebrate the 10th anniversary of one of the biggest X-Men events ever! Now that Apocalypse has been destroyed and the end of the world has been averted, what could possibly pose a threat to Magneto and his X-Men? Well, perhaps Sinister and whatever massive force he has just unleashed is enough to rile the X-Men and cause them to seek out a since retired Weapon X! Plus: Revisit the AoA world with four original tales featuring characters you know and love: the origin of Generation Next, the first meeting of Sabretooth and Wild Child, Weapon X's first run-in with Mariko Yashida in Japan, and the story of how the AoA world survived the nuclear holocaust that threatened it! Collects X-Men: Age of Apocalypse #1-6 and the X-Men: Age of Apocalypse one-shot.
