    Personal Reading Record

    Crimony, you guys lament only reading fifteen. I was just getting ready to brag that I had read fifteen.

    Not unless it's a Christian vampire.

    what is wrong with society

    There's nothing wrong with society, just get in where you fit in. There is something for everybody. If you don't like celebs, don't read the Life section of the newspaper. I got a pretty good chuckle out of one of Paris Hilton's arrests when her facebook status updated right after she had...

    James Patterson

    I loved Patterson's writing style, he moves you through the story quickly without a lot of description and filler.

    inanity.

    Hmmmm, I don't remember writing this and the time stamp indicated I would have written it after a night of heavy drinking. Perhaps this is the perfect thread for such a post though.

    Field Marshall Erwin Rommel: Attacks

    Thanks for posting that fascinating tidbit, I love reading memoirs that have been compiled from diary entries, (there's no way to write an accurate memoir without having kept a diary). I have a TBR list a mile long right now, so there's now way I can get to this one anytime soon, so thanks again...

    Sales of bodice-ripping e-books soar

    I wouldn't be ashamed to be seen reading a Nora Roberts novel. I have been seen reading Danielle Steel in the break room before my shift at work, even if that's not exactly a bodice-ripper.

    George W. Bush: Decision Points

    GWB can take credit for one thing - he got me to finallyvote. However, while giving him credit for that, I have to assign him the blame for forcing me to vote for someone I didn't really support for president, that being John Kerry. I don't really know if I hate him, I don't think so, but I...

    James Patterson

    Thanks, grabbing Double Cross and headed to the couch now. This is my first James Patterson novel!

    James Patterson

    Do the Alex Cross books stand alone? I picked up Double Cross and will hold off on reading it if I have to read other Cross books to be able to follow the story.

    George W. Bush: Decision Points

    No it won't. Bush left office the most hated president in American history, (since opinion polls were started anyway).

    Vince Flynn

    I recently read Pursuit of Honor. It was a well written good story except for one thing: He used Mitch Rapp to espouse his personal views on abortion. At first, there was just a mention in passing, but later, Mitch Rapp goes on a long tirade at a congressional hearing about abortion, AND IT...

    Letting the kid take-off in a flying-saucer shaped balloon would be a better tactic.

    Washington Gladden: The church and modern life

    The Pope opposed the US invading Iraq, but the US did it anyway. If I took the time to look for other examples, I'm sure I could find many. They speak about giving, relieving world hunger, etc., but none of those things change. Religious leaders are at the forefront of nothing. They serve the...

    I Just Wrote This...

    Absolutely not, no direction, but this was such a short passage I wouldn't expect direction. Oddly enough, though, it seems as though you are trying to cram so much into this short passage to give it direction.

    I Just Wrote This...

    I've offered you suggestions before, but you ignored them. That seems to be the complaint of many who have taken the time to critique your writing. Considering all the "literary" quality books you love and claim to have read, and you disdain for authors who have actually become successful...
