| The book is much like Levin's blog. It is short and the prose is crisp. The arguments are direct, and it has the subtly of a sledgehammer. Levin tells an important story, but his disdain for reconciliation, unless it is along partisan and regional li ...more | |

| Cutrone comes across as a contrarian but really he is an old-school leftist who infuriates his supposed allies because he remembers what they said and thought in the past. This infuriates anything that is hypocritical, and few things are as hypocriti ...more | |

| Good book. More later on it. | |
"Potential readers should know this is primarily a work of speculation. The author, Kenneth Sewell, does state this in his opening. However, there are places throughout the book where it can be difficult to untangle fact from hypothesis. Towards the l"

Khurram's review
of
Fire and Blood: A History of the Targaryen Kings from Aegon the Conqueror to Aegon III (A Targaryen History, #1):
"I was expecting a lot more from this book. The book reads like a history textbook. This is by design, I think, to make the book feel more authentic, but this works too well as it comes across a bit dry and boring. It took me a long time to get throug"

| This is a must read alongside Lee’s Miserables even if not quite as convincing a study. The research is good and wide. The overall experience of the trenches is dealt with evenly, painting neither a Panglossian portrait nor one of utter despair. Howe ...more | |

It is not often that a memoir starts with a discussion of trees, but Stanley certainly liked the woods. The narrative here is a bit workmanlike. No the reason to read this is Stanley is very very blunt and skilled at insults making it a must read for ...more |

“Worse than not realizing the dreams of your youth would be to have been young and never dreamed at all.”

“It's all now you see. Yesterday won't be over until tomorrow and tomorrow began ten thousand years ago. For every Southern boy fourteen years old, not once but whenever he wants it, there is the instant when it's still not yet two o'clock on that July afternoon in 1863, the brigades are in position behind the rail fence, the guns are laid and ready in the woods and the furled flags are already loosened to break out and Pickett himself with his long oiled ringlets and his hat in one hand probably and his sword in the other looking up the hill waiting for Longstreet to give the word and it's all in the balance, it hasn't happened yet, it hasn't even begun yet, it not only hasn't begun yet but there is still time for it not to begin against that position and those circumstances which made more men than Garnett and Kemper and Armistead and Wilcox look grave yet it's going to begin, we all know that, we have come too far with too much at stake and that moment doesn't need even a fourteen-year-old boy to think This time. Maybe this time with all this much to lose than all this much to gain: Pennsylvania, Maryland, the world, the golden dome of Washington itself to crown with desperate and unbelievable victory the desperate gamble, the cast made two years ago; or to anyone who ever sailed a skiff under a quilt sail, the moment in 1492 when somebody thought This is it: the absolute edge of no return, to turn back now and make home or sail irrevocably on and either find land or plunge over the world's roaring rim.”

“What should young people do with their lives today? Many things, obviously. But the most daring thing is to create stable communities in which the terrible disease of loneliness can be cured.”

“Poetry is the mother tongue of the human race, as the garden is older than the ploughed field; painting, than writing; song, than declamation; parables, than logical deduction; barter, than commerce. A deeper sleep was the repose of our most distant ancestors, and their movement was a frenzied dance. Seven days they would sit in the silence of thought or wonder; -- and would open their mouths -- to winged sentences.”
