Thanks!

Is that the first book? I know you say it is. I'm confused by the whole duel authors thing.

Nobody brought up Maiden's The Duellists?!

You've stuck a salmon down your pants as well, eh?

I'm reading a book of short stories by Eudora Welty. My wife read a handful of the stories for her book club and I thought I would give it a shot. I've only read A Worn Path so far. The main character is absolutely determined to get medicine for her grandson and sets out for town encountering many trials on the way.…

I read that not too long ago. I think Dunsany is able to give an epic feel in just a couple hundred pages and much of that is due to his style. He writes in an early modern English that conveys all the fantastical elements and world building with history and depth into a breezy read. I then read Well Of The Unicorn…

They'll just get Peter Jackson to come up with four seaons worth of material from the Dunk and Egg novellas.

Or racing for them.

Yeah, still waiting.

It started out well for me but by the third or fourth discussion of moral and ethical consequences Airar must or will take it got a little repetitive. Also, Airar is written well enough but the supporting cast were just ciphers moving the action along or placed where the writer needed them to be to make his point.…

Finished Fletcher Pratt's Well Of The Unicorn. It starts out with the usual farm boy journey on the road to destiny. The prose is written in very thick pseudo-ye olde early modern english which Pratt uses to discuss philosophy, politics, and sexual mores. The action is a bit slow in coming and is preceded and followed…

It's 30 Rock week. It's pushing everything down.

He is good as Rocky (all of them) and Rambo (at least the first had some good characterization). But the year after Victory was Rocky III and First Blood and his box-office appeal was set. It seems studios took the most basic aspects of those two films and that has been his career since: Knocked down underdog who…

F.I.S.T. and Paradise Alley have some great acting by him. He is really good in Victory as the goalie. He was horrible at the position and it shows but it was written into the character so it works really well.
