I’ve been meaning to write up a post on vaping for quite a while now, because it’s a rather complicated subject and one which many people seem to be interested in. And as a long-time vaper who has spent hundreds of dollars trying out different systems, I’m sure my learnings will be useful to others. So here goes!
First of all, what is vaping?

| I really loved this book. I'm a sucker for 19th century political machinations (as well as social intrigue) so this was right up my alley. The writing style was crisp and elegant. One I will reread with pleasure! | |

is on page 150 of 352 of Manhattan Transfer: Loving this. Brilliant writing. Though some of the "verse libre" conventions (randomly compounding words for no apparent reason, rendering dialogue without punctuation, etc.) is starting to wear on me a bit. I love the text, but I don't so much love the proto-hipster affectation.

| I love Jack London's use of language. This book is a fascinating look at his experience as a "road kid" in the late 19th century. | |

“Leave it to a New Yorker to put a bunch of trees in one place and call it wonderful.”
― M.K. Hobson
― M.K. Hobson
“Credomancy may seek to exploit the human desire for a tidy narrative where an unblemished romantic hero vanquishes all obstacles, but such ideals have very little to with reality. Reality requites pragmatism and compromise. Men fail. Women fail. There are no heroes, only human beings who somehow find the strength to behave heroically, no matter how many times they have been unable to do so in the past. If you understand that, Miss Edwards - if you truly and deeply understand that, then you will understand the most powerful thing anyone with a heart can understand.”
“And what’s that?” Emily said softly.
“That love is not enough. But it’s a start.”
