Summary: My TA is a good writer.
Review: Mark Rackers is an excellent writer. His piece completely engrosses as it takes you on a journey through relationships, adulthood, and parenthood. I read it so late into the night that I couldn't wake up for Mark's class in the morning. That's how great this book is. Everyone can relate to at least some part of this novel. It is both easy to read and very fulfilling. Pay the 15 bucks, and help this guy out.

Summary: Simply Outstanding
Review: Mark Rackers is yet another example of the population of underrated and overlooked talented and brilliant writers of our generation. Rackers' poetic genius allows any reader to empathize with an aging jaded twenty something year old who has no direction in his life.
I'm on the edge of my futon, awaiting the third installment of the trilogy where the author takes the reader on yet another exciting and spontaneous ride where his character becomes a TA for his almamater, UCSD, engages in sexual relations with his students, and traces his what was once believed suburban past to his actual blocked out childhood in the hoods of Menlo Park.
Again, Nesting's brilliance is only a reflection of the author's.
I wish Mr. Rackers only the best in the future of his writing career.

Summary: WOW.
Review: This a an amazingly funny look at the realities of marriage, divorce, kids and life in general for those of us born in the 70s (Gen X, Y, whatever). Rackers has a great conversational style. When I finished reading Nesting, I felt like I had just had a great 4 hour conversation with a good friend.

His stories are absolutely histerical -- from the challenges of decorating a new house with his new wife to the cut-throat world of Corporate Coffee Shops to the dating lives (or lack of dating) of his friends -- I couldn't stop laughing.

This is a great first book by an author with a very promising future.

Review: This book is one the most gripping commentaries on life as a 20 Something that I have ever read. Mark is irreverant, funny, and heartbreakingly honest. One heck of a book from one heck of a writer.

Summary: Mark Rackers wrote a sensational follow up!
Review: This book, the second installment of a what is sure to be a trilogy once the author publishes the prequel, is a mind-numbing trip into Mark Rackers' brain. It's kind of like the film Being John Malkovich all tucked into a book, only Mark is no John Malkovich, and you're probably no Cameron Diaz, either. There's an existential quality to the life of the narrator -- he craves women with a "futile passion", but eventually comes to realize that Nunus is always crowded, always dark, and on a good day the best you can hope for is for Joe to stop spitting in your food.

Summary: A really great book!
Review: This is one of my favorite books, I couldn't put it down.
I would recommend this book to anyone that enjoys truly excellent literary works. I can't wait to see what Mark comes up with next.
