| Reading this really awakened me to the need to be in the right place for a book. Lovecraft worked in a DMV, Howard on a road trip, The Lord of the Rings after Katrina. This one I needed to read in bars and airports so it took longer then I planned bu ...more | |

| This is a great source book for bad movies that are obscure or are well known to the older bad movie crowd. That said, the plot descriptions of each are more insulting than humorous. If a bad movie is so bad I like it, I love the movie; there was not ...more | |

| Stephen King's early work is on parade here, mostly what he wrote for Cavalier in the 1970s. In this collection he is best when he is being gonzo, for he takes glee in preposterous situations that are horrific when you think about them actually happe ...more | |

| There is a great book in here. Hinson went from neutral (he was in contact with Grant and Pillow at Fort Donelson) to leading a guerrilla band by 1863. By 1864 he fought a one-man war against Union forces and then aided Nathan Bedford Forrest in his ...more | |

| The moral of the story is most bad things are self-inflicted. But not all. Even in Australia. | |

“Worse than not realizing the dreams of your youth would be to have been young and never dreamed at all.”

“It's all now you see. Yesterday won't be over until tomorrow and tomorrow began ten thousand years ago. For every Southern boy fourteen years old, not once but whenever he wants it, there is the instant when it's still not yet two o'clock on that July afternoon in 1863, the brigades are in position behind the rail fence, the guns are laid and ready in the woods and the furled flags are already loosened to break out and Pickett himself with his long oiled ringlets and his hat in one hand probably and his sword in the other looking up the hill waiting for Longstreet to give the word and it's all in the balance, it hasn't happened yet, it hasn't even begun yet, it not only hasn't begun yet but there is still time for it not to begin against that position and those circumstances which made more men than Garnett and Kemper and Armistead and Wilcox look grave yet it's going to begin, we all know that, we have come too far with too much at stake and that moment doesn't need even a fourteen-year-old boy to think This time. Maybe this time with all this much to lose than all this much to gain: Pennsylvania, Maryland, the world, the golden dome of Washington itself to crown with desperate and unbelievable victory the desperate gamble, the cast made two years ago; or to anyone who ever sailed a skiff under a quilt sail, the moment in 1492 when somebody thought This is it: the absolute edge of no return, to turn back now and make home or sail irrevocably on and either find land or plunge over the world's roaring rim.”

“What should young people do with their lives today? Many things, obviously. But the most daring thing is to create stable communities in which the terrible disease of loneliness can be cured.”

“Poetry is the mother tongue of the human race, as the garden is older than the ploughed field; painting, than writing; song, than declamation; parables, than logical deduction; barter, than commerce. A deeper sleep was the repose of our most distant ancestors, and their movement was a frenzied dance. Seven days they would sit in the silence of thought or wonder; -- and would open their mouths -- to winged sentences.”
