"
A solid daily reader based on McCheyne's system of reading through the Bible in one year. Carson expounds simple, one-page meditations on one or two of the chapters read that day.Due to the limits of space, Carson obviously cannot go in to great dept ...more "

| Pretty enjoyable James Bond romp, with the stakes not quite as high as some. Bond finds himself in Germany at the Nürburgring, famous now from Top Gear and other driving shows. This is set in the late 1950s, early in Bond's career (he just met Pussy ...more | |

| A story about the case Nick Charles took before the events in The Thin Man. Its mostly about how Nick met Nora, the famous couple, and has a simple case involved as well. It is not terrible but compared to Dashiell Hammet's crisp writing and dialog, ...more | |

quote
“We all want progress. But progress means getting nearer to the place where you want to be. And if you have taken a wrong turning then to go forward does not get you any nearer. If you are on the wrong road progress means doing an about-turn and walking back to the right road and in that case the man who turns back soonest is the most progressive man. There is nothing progressive about being pig-headed and refusing to admit a mistake. And I think if you look at the present state of the world it's pretty plain that humanity has been making some big mistake. We're on the wrong road. And if that is so we must go back. Going back is the quickest way on.”

of
Before the Thin Man: The Prequel to Dashiell Hammett's "The Thin Man":
"The Vocabulary of 1980's.
I generally enjoyed this read. Like other Thin Man books, Nick's internal monolog propels the story along. And the reader knows what Nick does. No surprises. The dialogue between Nick and Nora did not disappoint. But the aut" Read more of this review » |

I only know a few, in the Portland and Eugene area mostly. There's never been any sort of meetup in the area that I am aware of.
Howdy Christopher,I noticed you are in Salem, OR. This means were neighbors, as I live in Keizer. I've lived in Keizer 10+ years, Salem 10 years and a number of other places around the country before that. My real home is Billings, Montana. I'm trapped here in Oregon due to the triplet grand kids. If you ever want to meet in person just let me know.
BTW, has there ever been a Moron meet up in the general area? and are there any other rons and ettes in the area?
Thanks
Lee
