Quotes: Clifton Paul Fadiman
When you read a classic you do not see in the book more than you did before. You see more in you than there was before.
Quotes: Don Quinn
“A bachelor is a selfish, undeserving guy who has cheated some woman out of a divorce.”
Legend of the Seeker
Victoria was awesome enough to get me the DVD of the Legend of the Seeker, the whole first season. Five DVD’s full of my favorite TV show, based off one of my favorite book series of all time, The Sword of Truth, by Terry Goodkind. Of course they don’t exactly follow along the story of [...]
World of Whoa
Yup, this is pretty much how I’ve been spending my time lately. Not that I feel bad, it’s not like I have a job or a family I’m neglecting! But I can now say I have firsthand knowledge of how this game can break marriages apart, cause heath problems, and kill off any social life [...]
Free Sounds Good To Me
One of the best perks I’ve discovered since switching to reading books digitally is the abundance of free (and legal!) eBooks out there. Sure sometimes I miss that physically feeling of holding a ‘real’ book, and physically ‘seeing’ yourself get closer to the end as you read page-by-page.

The sky is dark. Their destination is the coast, although they don’t know what, if anything, awaits them [...]
Clash Of The Titans
Yeah I want to see this one. I watched Terminator Salvation the other week and you could just tell that Sam Worthington guy was going to be the next “new” action star (even though a quick look at IMDB shows that he has been acting in movies and TV for the past 10 years). Sure [...]
Quotes: Charles Spurgeon
“Friendship is one of the sweetest joys of life. Many might have failed beneath the bitterness of their trial had they not found a friend.”
World of What?
Overheard a conversation while standing in line at a store, it went a little something like this: Woman: “So your daughter still play that World of World, and not socialize with any real people?” Man: “Yeah. I tried getting her to go out, do some things. Meet some people. She don’t listen to me though.” [...]
