Earlier this year I was recovering from illness and did nothing but lay on the couch and read. In one week I read four novels and one non-fiction book. A few weeks later I was going through my bookshelf and wondered how it was possible that I had a John Grisham novel that I had not read yet...

Yeah, well, your food is still bland. Eating a shepherd's pie is like eating a box of Kleenex. You guys ever hear of salt and pepper? Tabasco sauce?

Your experience with violence in the military or LE doesn't mean jack shit to me. And it doesn't preclude anyone from giving their opinion, either. See that header up top of your browser? It says "forum". Where people come to chat. Everybody here who registered a handle has permission to give...

would you post the name of the school that suspended the student with those two books please?

The character (and the author as well) are against abortion. Vince Flynn used to appear on Glenn Beck's show as part of his book tour after new releases.

Vince Flynn and Brad Thor for injecting their politics into their main characters. Vince Flynn's main character was called in front of Congress to testify about the bad guys he had been torturing. The character then launched into some abortion diatribe.

By the time I was seven years old I remember having a typewriter and a dictionary. The adults in my life back then also started me on the Hardy Boys series and before I was even ten years old they were getting me cheaply bound reprints of literary classics. So forty years later you would expect...

First you must understand that grammar is important. Maybe you don't think a sentence containing "Me and my friend" is a big deal, but you are on a slippery slope. You could eventually foul up a sentence where your objective is to convey to the reader that you want to "help your Uncle Jack off a...

My neighborhood supports three indie book stores (four if you count the one that has sort of morphed into a retail boutique). Two of the bookstores are on the same street right across from each other and there are always people in them, one even stays open until 11 PM on weekends. I'm not...

I don't care if they bury him upside down or not - he's a bore. Period.

Just adorable!

In his book On Writing, Stephen King says aspiring writers should spend four to six hours per day reading and writing. If he gave any specifics on how to divide those hours between reading and writing, I missed it. Stephen J. Cannell said a writer should spend at least two hours per day...

I would take it a step further than just a business man's strike, it was a business man's whine as well. However, it's necessary to understand Ayn Rand's perspective. As a child, her father's business was confiscated by the Bolsheviks and her family became so destitute that she nearly starved to...

Why did my BS alarm go off when I saw this? Anyway, when I pine for the old days, I don't go back any further than the 1960's. Newspapers, printed books, no Internet or Wikipedia. I could talk like a damfool know-it-all without some wiseass going to Wikipedia and proving me wrong. I volunteer...
