Paul Combs was born in Texas on the same day as Stonewall Jackson and Jack Nicklaus. Though not as famous (yet) as those two American giants, he can putt better than Stonewall and lead an infantry charge better than Nicklaus.

His ultimate goal (besides being a roadie for the E Street Band) is to make reading, writing, and books in general as popular in Texas as high school football. It may take a while.

Bookish

In my last post I let you know about Angry Typewriter, a podcast about writing and the writing life. But I'm also a book lover, like all of you, so I started a second podcast (one I am actually adding more content to than Angry Typewriter).

The new podcast is called Bookish. On Bookish I'll be talking, raving, and ranting about all things books, from Harry Potter to Harry Dresden, from Bulgakov to Read more of this blog post »

Quotes by Paul Combs (?)

“Fortunately, books are more than commodities. Each one of them is a portable universe, an unspoken contract between the writer and the reader, and a friend who will never let you down.”
― Paul Combs, The Last Word

“In those days, before everyone had cell phones or smartphones or iPods, the library was a quieter place. The librarians, many of whom had received their degrees in Library Science in the 1950s, enforced this silence with the zeal of a born-again monk. In fact, the only place as quiet, then or now, was the church.”
― Paul Combs, The Last Word

“The value of some things can’t be measured in financial terms, things like love, friendship, a Hemingway inscription to a young boy, and a well-written story.”
― Paul Combs, Writer in Residence
