The Man Who Would Be King and Other Stories by Rudyard Kipling
" Fantastical stories and powerful imagery. Sure, technological advances have numbed us to the violence of war, but Kipling's writing loses little of its punch due to the passing time. The adventurous spirit imbued in his work still thrills the soul... " Read more of this review »
Monk's Hood by Ellis Peters
" This is a yeoman's work mystery with a middle ages veil draped over it. Seriously, Ellis Peters' Monk's Hood felt like a throwaway whodunnit set in the medieval period. I know these are very popular, popular enough to have a tv series made from th... " Read more of this review »

“I was always useless at flirting, and simply did not know what needed to be done in order to snare my target... I always ended up resorting to jokes, and most men don't like funny women. They like to do the jokes.”
Joan Sims, High Spirits

Anderson Cooper
“The farther you go...the harder it is to return. The world has many edges and it's easy to fall off.”
Anderson Cooper, Dispatches from the Edge: A Memoir of War, Disasters, and Survival

Paul Harding
“What an awful thing then, being there in our house together with our daughter gone, trying to be equal to so many sudden orders of sorrow, any one of which alone would have wrenched us from our fragile orbits around each other.”
Paul Harding, Enon

“Comes a day when everything you thought you had put behind you sets up its tent in the middle of what you were still hoping you could call tomorrow and yells out, ‘Right this way.’

Laird Hunt, Kind One

“I was woken by a shell-burst in the trench of sleep. Heart skipping, with eyes fighting light, my thoughts sprang up like a field of starlings startled by a farmer's gunshot, a thousand separate, autonomous specks that swirled into a single united black shape.”
Will Wiles, Care of Wooden Floors
