A trifling assignment

Okay kids, this week's reading assignment is to read your choice of G.K. Chesterton's many essays.  I am particularly fond of 'Cheese,' but take your pick.  It is strange how relevant much of his writing still is today though he was writing about issues of his own day, but then I suppose humanity at its most basic level never changes much, we just change the furniture around or repaint the walls a bit.  Here are a few of his compilations, and be warned, like potato chips, you can't stop at just one!:

All Things Considered
Tremendous Trifles
Alarms and Discursions

A tale (or five) worth the telling

I have yet to read any of the short tales listed in this article but they all look really good and a quick search on project Gutenberg came up with each of them (usually in a larger collection) free of charge, enjoy!

Back to work?

This week's reading assignment: 'Pride and Prejudice' by Jane Austen, you may watch the 5 hour miniseries with Colin Firth, but anything with zombies in it does not count.

Black Friday, the extended edition?

I've revamped the prices on most of my books via smashwords, it may take a little while for other retailers to adjust prices, and prices at amazon sadly won't change, but that is beyond my control.  Enjoy!

The most minor of updates

You will be delighted to know there is a new story in 'Over the Hills and Faraway,' well, probably not, but now you know!

Mightier than the pen?

What a winter!  A perfect time to delve into the classics, G.K. Chesterton and C.S. Lewis are keeping me enthralled through many a long, gloomy night, at least when I'm not shoveling snow.  If only the shovel were as mighty as the pen...?

Stating the obvious

If you are trapped indoors due to winter weather, might I recommend a book?  But if the storm is over, a shovel might be far more useful.
