Vitalogy Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Written in the late 1800's (supposedly), Vitalogy is a tongue in cheek book by today's standards. Vitalogy was written by E.H Ruddock, who was a literary version of a traveling salesman. This leads one to believe that the ideals in this book are tall tales, with the author fully knowing that he was lying to the reader. The basic vibe for a person reading Vitalogy nowadays is that the book is "b.s.", but serves as an interesting look at how America wanted innocense so badly that they created societal propaganda such as Vitalogy in order to force citizens to live as society wanted them to. (Example: find the photo of a young man before and after self-stimulation. The "after" photo is doctored so badly that it is ridiculous to the point of laughter).Vitalogy is the book Ed Vedder from Pearl Jam borrowed excerpts from for liner notes on the Vitalogy album. This book, on the contrary, has NOTHING TO DO WITH PEARL JAM. Nontheless, the book is interesting and I give it 4 stars, just because it has a gritty, nostalgic feel to it.Pearl Jam fan or not, the nostalgia and feel of this book is very interesting and should be read by those who could find interest in such societal"propaganda" that Vitalogy brings forth. I was disappointed at first, due to the fact I honestly thought it was a Pearl Jam book. I later picked up Vitalogy from time to time and started to enjoy it for reasons already described.

First published in 1899, Vitalogy is a home health reference, and its advice, both strangely prescient and very dated, is once more at the cutting edge.
