Why I DNF’d
I’m going to talk about two books today. I will name one (Again, But Better) but not the other because it’s not as well known. ABB’s decision was based on quality, but the other was based on a harmful portrayal and I do not want to spread the idea of picking it up. So let’sContinue reading “Why I DNF’d”
Love For Notebooks
The worst thing you can do to a writer is steal her notebook. Persons of other professions, including teachers, seem to think notebooks are a convenient, use-by-use, disposable items that have no meaning no matter who owns it. Notebooks are important!

War of the Worlds-Book Review
War of the Worlds is such a journalistic novel that a radio adaptation convinced the people of New Jersey to flee their homes, commit suicide or die by a Martian Heat-Ray. I snatched a copy already convinced that this is the greatest science fiction novel of all time. But the journalistic style that made itContinue reading “War of the Worlds-Book Review”
Lolita- Book Review pt.1
Lolita is one of those books where you know the basic idea before you read the book. How to Write A Damn Good Novel, among others of its type, had so thoroughly analyzed the book that I was almost certain that it would be dull. There were few surprises but Humbert’s demented lyrics and her-or-dieContinue reading “Lolita- Book Review pt.1”
