Assignment

Your reading assignment this week is Jane Eyre (once considered something of a radical feminist novel).  Remember, this is 23.7% of your grade!

All the news from Bree?

There might be news from Bree, but certainly not from Astoria, so go read something Tolkienish.

New Website!

I finally have an 'official website' for my books.  Check it out here!

Bad advice and worse advice?

Want to be healthy, wealthy, and wise?  I think that has something to do with getting up early so has nothing whatsoever to do with this post.  How about something totally enthralling and countercultural?  Turn off your device (unless it be an e-reader) and open a book, the older the better. Another good reason not to get up early: you can stay up late to finish 'just one more page...'

Old sayings and new reading assignment

No news is good news, right?  If you are really desperate for something to do, go read 'Little Women.'

Startling news, or not

I know you've been waiting years for this, not really, but it is fun to say: I've updated a few covers, same content, but slightly better to look at.

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!:
