My review (here and on Amazon): While I liked some of these stories better than others, this collection starts off with a page-turner, and continues to be engaging. These stories just go to show that you don't know what is going on in someone's head - even if you think you do - and that everyday... Read more of this blog post »

“Quick masterfully skewers bias from both the left and the right with humor and grace …. The book is funny, tragic, hopeful and shows how our polarized views keep us from truly seeing that we’re all more alike than different.” LaSalle News Tribune http://www.newstrib.com/lifestyle/boo...

If the blog/website looks a little different, that's because it is. I decided a change was in order, and I wanted a clean look with a black and white theme. So, that's what I worked on for three days straight, and I quite like the changes.

Some years ago, I read Planet Narnia: the seven heavens in the imagination of C. S. Lewis, which argues that the seven Chronicles of Narnia correspond to the seven classical heavenly bodies. It’s an attractive and plausible theory, and I think that’s as far as I’ll go.

Made of crystal

So clear

It can hardly be seen

The breadth of seven men

The height of the clouds

The top unseen

Inside

Sparking and crackling

Impossible

Bright and pure

It is filled with

Starfire

For miles around

The land knows no dark

Ever

The question might be asked

Why it was bui...
