Let Me Explain
One of the reasons, I believe, that people said I was such a good teacher is that I explain things. Clearly and thoroughly. Living in a nation that has never really valued teachers, I have come to understand just how rare clear and thorough explanations are.

| Brandon R. Grafius is perhaps the most prolific author on the subject of the Bible and horror. These are, for many people, polar opposites. Mainly that’s because the Bible has been sanitized beyond recognition by much of western culture. Read closely ...more | |

| This is T. Kingfisher’s retelling of Edgar Allan Poe’s “The Fall of the House of Usher.” I liked Kingfisher’s book A House with Good Bones, but this one is a harder sell to the true Poe fan. Part of the reason is that the narrator, Easton, doesn’t ca ...more | |

| The eruption of Tambora in 1815 was the greatest killer of the nineteenth century, if you count knock-on effects. This book does a good job of extrapolating the various ways that life changed because of the climate shift for three years after that er ...more | |

| My initial thought was that this book is too long. It starts out strong but sags a bit in the middle. By the end you have a sense of accomplishment and the story seems like a good one to have read. It clawed its way up a star or two in the last hundr ...more | |

| The perennial debate over book or movie first is in some ways muted by novelizations. I tend not to read too many of these, as I note elsewhere (Sects and Violence in the Ancient World) but this author is someone I know from the Miskatonic Institute ...more | |

“As democracy is perfected, the office of president represents, more and more closely, the inner soul of the people. On some great and glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach their heart's desire at last and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron.”

“The Ethiops say that their gods are flat-nosed and black,
While the Thracians say that theirs have blue eyes and red hair.
Yet if cattle or horses or lions had hands and could draw,

Like horses, and cattle like cattle; and each they would shape
Bodies of gods in the likeness, each kind, of their own.”
