Is it selfish to say “all of them”? To me, there’s nothing better than an authentic, well-told story from history. And there is definitely room for more. George McDonald Fraser’s The Hollywood History of the World is about what stories do and don’t get told.

There’s this, for what it’s worth.

Hope Leo was gumming it into his golden years.

The creation apologists are way out ahead on this.

This is interesting. The beetle had all this impact, and it really only affected ash trees?!

Doctors just have more opportunities to get away with murder.

You should write a book, and, before it’s published, keep manuscripts in secure, unrevealed locations, like safe deposit boxes. Just in case.

Better yet would be all sides working out their differences, with the help of courage, song, and animal friends.

I love this movie in every legal way. Take the Andys.

Not disputing this principle (I didn’t ask about Jar Jar; I didn’t want to know) but intelligence is relative.

Haven’t had time to see it yet (aaaagh!), but must express love for Oscar Isaac. And Paddy Considine. Most readers of io9 would like PU-239.

Well, there’s always the issue of whether Heathcliff was Cathy’s brother. (Found the tyke, husband? Sure, you did!) And what the hell Heathcliff was doing in those missing years.

IMO, he’s illegitimate and his mother ran away with a lover. Explains the attitude his father and brother had about him, anyway.

Moll Flanders, Journal of the Plague Year (which is mostly a recreation of news reports), Roxana is what I’ve read. It’s been years, though — Moll, especially is nagging at me. There should be more than a few bedroom scenes!

I want to say: what about Daniel Defoe? But I can’t think of any examples — you’re probably right.
