    John Kennedy Toole: A Confederacy Of Dunces

    The book contains a lot of insiders jokes for natives of The Big Easy (as meself). But overall it's a good, if sluggish read. Two things I took away from it: 1) It needed a good editor 2) The weak do not survive or prosper in the writing world

    New piece. Needing help with ..everything

    Could the Tsunami Disaster have been prevented?

    It's all preventable in hindsight, isn't it? Like losing the lottery (and I was only one number off!) And responsibility? You could say if someone had bought Hitler's paintings, maybe he wouldn't have turned from a frustrated artist in Vienna into a word-chomping, egomaniacal monster. But I...
