My writings, old and new...
I've been an avid reader since I was 10 and my parents subscribed me to ''Boy's Life''. We lived in a small town without TV for 3 years; my family read as many books as we could! (My wife still occasionally mentions TV shows I've never seen; I think the books I read did me more good!) I'm going to put my opinions of books I've read and especially those I could not finish.

Interesting quote from "Blood Lite III: Aftertaste"
Hi – I'm reading "Blood Lite III: Aftertaste" by Kevin J. Anderson and wanted to share this quote with you.
"“How’s life, kid?” I asked him. “Any more bully problems?” Irwin snorted weakly. “No, not really. Though, they don’t use their fists for that, here. And there’s a lot more of them.” “That’s what they call civilization,” I said. “It’s still better than the other way.” “One thing’s the same. You show them you aren’t afraid, they leave you alone.” “They do,” I said. “Coward’s a coward, whether he’s throwing punches or words.”"

"“Well,” I said. “Hello, nurse.” “I can’t think of a sexier first impression than a man quoting Yakko and Wakko Warner,” she said, her tone dry. I sauntered in and offered her my hand. “Me neither. Harry Dresden, PI.”"

Hi – I'm reading "Grim Reaper: End of Days" by Steve Alten, Nick Nunziata and wanted to share this quote with you.
"Darkness "Evil does not exist, or at least it does not exist unto itself. Evil is simply the absence of God. It is just like darkness and cold, a word that man has created to describe the absence of heat. God did not create evil. Evil is the result of what happens when man does not have God's love present in his heart. It's like the cold that comes when there is no heat or the darkness that comes when there is no light." – Albert Einstein"

Interesting quote from "The British Barbarians"
Hi – I'm reading "The British Barbarians" by Grant Allen and wanted to share this quote with you.
"remains: it is almost impossible to get a novel printed in an English journal unless it is warranted to contain nothing at all to which anybody, however narrow, could possibly object, on any grounds whatever, religious, political, social, moral, or aesthetic. The romance that appeals to the average editor must say or hint at nothing at all that is not universally believed and received by everybody everywhere in this realm of Britain. But literature, as Thomas Hardy says with truth, is mainly the expression of souls in revolt. Hence the antagonism between literature and journalism."
