Read about it, what an innovative idea! Not sure if it's the best way to catch the 20+ demographic, but perhaps they are out and about playing frisbee-golf and power walking to starbucks.

I really like this one. The humor is definitely the best part. Will leave out specifics as I wouldn't want to shock the sensibility and prudishness of sparkchaser. :devillook

My 9 year old just LOVES minecraft. For being a simple program, there are a lot of neat things a kid can do with that program. You definitely have a great idea to go along with the promotion of your book!

You're a good American sparkchaser. 9780060723279_p0_v2_s260x420.jpg

Excellent post Peder, I didn't know of the last item, though it doesn't surprise me after having read earlier things about the Pope like this.

The Caro book is simply outstanding. I read the series out of order, starting with Means of Ascent. The man was definitely driven and I got a kick out of the stories that document how from a very early, early, early age, that he was super competitive and strove to be better than everyone else...

Spanish Back at ya......

Yep, variation of the saying. Trust me, I'm hardly original in coming up with sayings, though I will gladly take credit for it. :) Virginia Woolf being taught to 16 year old boys.......would have to take an amazing teacher.

True, you would have to possess one for them to know you. :p What I find fascinating is people who attempt to merge the two belief systems. Emmanuel Mournier comes to mind most prominently for me. I could see some strands that are similar in the New Testament, but earlier than that, it's a...

Only if I keep a charger plugged into the lighter. My phone drains down in 15 minutes if I attempt to access the internet(not really, but it feels like it) My insurance will cover the damage from striking into cattle. Perhaps I could lawyer up and file damages for "emotional pain" and...

Oh I would agree about that, the maxim about education being wasted on the young rings true here. It's not until you are a tad bit older that you can truly appreciate a book like this.

Just purchased the book, can't wait to dive in! It will have to compete with Proust, but after the bloodletting and melee violence of Proust, I'm sure Godmode will find some time to compete. :p

Don't pick the following: Vonnegut-juvenile, prurient, and base writing in the name of "art." Dreiser-A proletarian whining ninny, or at least, writes from the perspective of a proletarian whining ninny. Kerouac-See Vonnegut commentary Personally, I'd go with something that argues against...

I picked up a 1934 copy of Remembrance of Things Past this past weekend at a used book sale. I just finished Swann's Way and enjoyed it immensely. I tried a few Proust readings in college and just didn't have the patience for it. Perhaps it is maturity or having more time on my hands that...

I love the title, will definitely keep an eye out for it.

Welcome aboard! Feel free to post your book in the writer's section, sounds interesting.

Any transcendent non-fiction? Allow me to nominate: Man's search for meaning; Viktor Frankl Escape from freedom; Erich Fromm The will to believe; William James

I just finished it and I have to say that I loved the lost four chapters. The action was truly something else and I was definitely hooked. I love the "techno-thriller" books(a.k.a-Tom Clancy, Stephen Coonts, etc.) and the description of the weapons and tactical suit was pretty sweet, not to...

I purchased it a few days ago and I'm half-way through the book now. Is this your first published book? I do enjoy the beginning and how I do enjoy the characters and some of the ones in the hidden underground made me chuckle. My lone criticism of the work is that it could've been "drawn...

It paid off, I didn't find one error. :cool: When writing a book about chess, you have to check your work. Yep, the writer as pawn. :devillook
