Thorn Birds and Scarlett

Posted on May 29, 2008 by Meg

Simpson’s Paradox shows what to do with The Thorn Birds and Scarlett.
I have to agree, I recommend stay far from the book Scarlett, which claims to be the “long-awaited sequel to Gone With The Wind.“  An exception to this rule could be made if you’re on a very long plane trip with nothing else [...]

I hold tribute to this investigative journalist. He is a genius of a writer and has literally pulled his audience into his research. There are pages and pages of biblography in the back of his books. After writing IBM and the Holacaust and War on the Weak I am suprised he hasn’t [...]

Books going the way of the Dinos

Posted on May 26, 2008 by Bonnie Hayes

Am I old or just really set in my ways? It wouldn’t look like it’s so with being only 35, but I am not ready for all books to go to computer disk. There is something uniquely private and well frankly connecting with touching a nice book cover that you know was inspired [...]
