I wish I was the verb "to trust"

I necessarily have the passion for writing this, and you have the passion for condemning me; both of us are equally fools, equally the toys of destiny. Your nature is to do harm, mine is to love truth, and to make it public in spite of you. - Voltaire0

Now I'm reading The Secret History of the War on Cancer by Devra Davis. It's about how the fuckwits that are the chemical and pharmaceutical industries worked hand-in-hand for over a century with the medical establishment, researchers, even the American Cancer Society, to hide known causes of cancer, thus exposing millions to disease and setting back the possibility of someday finding a cure. Pure evil, they are."Nothing in the world is more dangerous than sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity." ~ MLK, 19630 -
The Bourne Trilogy...
I am anxious to get to War and Peace and Dr. Zhivago, as "Into the Wild" reminded me. (Wasn't the book credits cool?!)I was swimming in the Great Barrier Reef
Animals were hiding behind the Coral
Except for little Turtle
I could swear he's trying to talk to me

My brother told me there is a movie adaptation of World War Z in the works.
That book. Scared. The. Shit. Out. Of Me. I keep seeing the end of the world everywhere! It was masterful! Loved it. Highly recommend it."I can only be as good as you'll let me."0 -
Blackberry Wine by Joanne Harris. I just finished Under a Flaming Sky about the 1894 Hinckley Fire. Rather eerie to be reading it now. It was good. I needed fiction after it though. Blackberry Wine is at least one notch better in the writing than Under a Flaming Sky.
However, as I recently read Unless, and Dirt Music , both of which were EXCELLENT!!!!, I'm heading toward starving for incredible writing if I don't get it soon. I'll go fucking postal, in a libriarian-want-to-be-kindof way if I don't get food for my brain!There is no such thing as leftover pizza. There is now pizza and later pizza. - anonymous

I'm re-reading The Norton Shakespeare, and going over Cymbeline again. A right bizarre load of bollocks it is, too. I once wrote an essay defending it, back in the day, and I got 95% for my efforts. But in my relative agedness, I have to admit it's far from his best work.0

I just finished "A Confederacy of Dunces" by John Kennedy Toole. It is very well written.
Now I am reading "Blues for Mr. Charlie" by James Baldwin."We're fixed good, lamp-wise."0 -
