Slick Texas Money via Beat to a Pulp

I was young when it came out, but I know that my grandfather was a huge fan of it and that he had a subscription for years. I always liked the section that covered the leading story in all fifty states, not to mention the interesting charts or pie graphs at the bottom of the front page...or at...

While I hope such events are aberrations, another part of me wonders if this isn't some "new normal" for us from here on out. Granted, it's not as bad as London facing IRA attacks in the '80s, but it still makes me fearful of what the future holds.

LOL-:D Bravo Peder, bravo!

The movie...not sure if it was based on the book...was horrendous. Absolutely terrible.

Vanities is a good book, it gets you rollin as soon as the couple takes the wrong turn. Tom Wolfe didn't make as deep of a social comment in regards to wealth and inequality, he just skewers his targets endlessly, perhaps that is his biggest point. I've been meaning to read I am Charlotte...

It was a required read in college and for some reason, I could wrap my head around the likes of William James, but just couldn't "get" it. After I graduated, I must have started and stopped at least five or six times. I was very busy at the time and my heart was only half into it. I finally...

Why everyone should re-read The Great Gatsby.

welcome aboard!, great picture of a great book.

Just finished Kevin Helmick's novella Driving Alone. Definitely worth the read!

"Guerrilla editing"-not sure if I like this concept. Bolded concern is me. Oh my :eek:

The problem that I see with media is a problem that spans across "old" and "new" media alike. A key example was this past week when I listened to Anderson Cooper attempt to have an intelligent conversation with Nancy Reagan and James A. Baker III on the death of Margaret Thatcher. The...

I agree entirely. If there is a definition of a "good read," David Baldacci and Robert B. Parker foot the bill. You can breeze through a hundred pages or so on a whim. With Dostoyevsky or Dickens, you are lucky to hit 40 pages in an hour, due to the denseness and depth of thought required...

Just gone done with Hour Game. A good book not only has one madman on the loose, but an even better one has two. The story got dreadfully after the midway point. Still not the best read of his, I'd rank it as average, but throwing in a second killer was a nice twist. The Battle family was...

I can see it now: "Pssst!, Jakob," "yaaah" "Look at THIS wood block!!"

Next thing you know, amazon will stuff smut on the internet. I might have to unplug everything and go amish.

Welcome aboard!

60 blissful degrees and sunny....perfect for a 9 mile run.

Thank you Brent for the hard work that you guys put into this place. It's like having a new car and not being able to figure out how to turn on the wipers. At least it looks great! ;)
