I'd like to think of myself as an average Joe. I'd LIKE to, but I'm a wee bit to crazy for that. I'm like the bastard son of Hunter S. Thompson and Mark Twain, were such a thing possible. I'm a weird bastard and I make sure that everyone knows it. Tis my sworn duty to seek out strange things wherever they may be found, to expose the oddness in...more »

    Dear Alphapenguin, what a lover a fine literature you are (with a few hacks thrown in). I'm a writer, and my novel, Loughshinny, was just published on January 8, 2008. I'm very proud of the book. I began writing it on January 1, 1997 and it just came out this year. That's a 11 years. I'm trying to get the word out. Check it out Amazon, Barnes and Noble.com, etc. Please consider purchasing a copy and letting me know what you think. I am now relying on the erudite bibiophiles of the world for succor.

    If you write for a newspaper, shouldn't you know the difference between "to" and "too"?

    Bastard son of HST and Twain? Now THAT sounds like a cool guy! My name's Emmay and I'm a hippie chick from Chicago. Looks like we have pretty similar tastes, so how about we jam sometime?

    Would you recommend Napoleon? I saw it on your shelf and was wondering what you thought of it.

    Is it written as a historical novel? I do not enoy such novel in which the author takes too much poetic liberty with the historical facts.

    It's cool that you have such an eclectic collection of literature! I've been thinking about adding a separate shelf for my "serious" reading, since all I seem to be getting through is the light stuff these days ... "Pretty Mouth and Green My Eyes" from Salinger's Nine Stories is an all-time favorite, and I see a lot of other titles that have stuck with me through the years on your shelf, as well!

    I saw your shelf and thought I was looking at mine! Looking at yours reminded me of others I love and hadn't remembered, too. Sweet.
