For those of us who try to make sense of our lives, that would seem like a foolhardy thing to do. It happens that for a project I needed to check something in my Grove City College senior yearbook. A couple of unexpected things happened. One was that I found a poster for a Larry Norman conce

| For what it is—a young critic’s period coverage of a blockbuster movie—The Story Behind The Exorcist isn’t bad. It’s not a great book, but, as I’ve noted elsewhere (Sects and Violence in the Ancient World), it gives a good sense of the time in which ...more | |

| The Vile Village is perhaps the darkest of the Series of Unfortunate Events so far. While Lemony Snicket’s characteristic humor is still present, the theme of being burned at the stake is a fairly heavy one and the menace of the entire village of V.F ...more | |

| I’ll say upfront that this is an academic book. It was published in an academic series by an academic press. Parts of it are rather technical. That having been said, it was a delight to read. That may be a strange thing to say about a book about the ...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,
And could sculpt like men, then the horses would draw their gods
Like horses, and cattle like cattle; and each they would shape
Bodies of gods in the likeness, each kind, of their own.”
