    Should you write what you love, or what you think the world wants?

    Is it possible to write about what is not in your heart or what moves you and write a good book?

    Help with technical web type stuff please :)

    Anything technological drives me nuts. You have my honest and sincere sympathies, glad it could be resolved. I would love to see a forum of Luddites though.......:p

    The Syria Issue: Your Personal Stance Is Much Appreciated

    If the Syrian artillery pieces are bombed, do any children get chemical shells lobbed at them? If there are no Syrian artillery officers due to them being killed or running from incoming shells and bombs, do the children suffocate due to sarin gas? Then, we have a solution. Then again perhaps...

    Steinbeck was not about gratuitous violence and "darkness" in and of itself. He had a larger statement about mankind and the values that we hold as important. Crime & Punishment featured a murder, was Dostoyevsky glorifying crime? Was Les Miserable about how children should suffer? Quite...

    An excellent review, thanks for posting. Steinbeck's strength is what good literature should be. That being, holding a reflective mirror to society and to remind people of their flaws and that we can be better. It's a critical lens and is one that we don't get from politicians. In this...

    35 books people should read at least once

    Quite an impressive list. Not sure if I would have chosen a number of those books, but then again, it's a list of books to at least read once, not necessarily believe are the best things created in their respective times...

    e-reader glitches that tick you off

    New gripe-I've discovered that with some ebooks, a quoted portion to begin the chapter, presents as two letters in a descending line going on for a few clicks, depending upon the length of the quote. It would be like: we ha ve no th in gt of ea rb ut fe ar it se lf. Ahhhhhhhhh!!!!!

    How do I get reimbursed for the Ebook Scandal?

    Awfully presumptuous on your part don't you think? The state attorneys general website is all you need to know. Be doubtful and verify. https://ebooksagsettlements.com/Home.aspx "If you bought qualifying E-books through Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Kobo, Apple, Sony, or Google, but you have not...

    I also have Getting Things Done! I've only read the prologue. I like the premise of the book and agree that the nature of work has fundamentally changed to such a degree, that simply getting a planner isn't going to cut it. The hardest thing for me, is to advance more than one item across...
