I agree with Todash that there just isn't enough information to make an informed opinion about this family. They say the boy was only sickly for a few days and had seemed better before taking a...

I don't know if he really fits what you're wanting, but you might also look into Elmer Kelton. I suspect he's similar to Louis L'Amour and probably best known for the book The Good Old Boys.

The suit was her's, so I don't think she can counter-sue (since that would mean suing herself)... But I think it was based in the state courts, so she maybe she has some possibility of a federal...

I have to say, the civility in this thread - despite obviously opposing opinions - is very heartening. We need a lovey sort of emoticon, but I guess this one will do. :y:

"My life closed twice before its close—
It yet remains to see
If Immortality unveil
A third event to me

So huge, so hopeless to conceive
As these that twice befell.
Parting is all we...

P.S. I know you're hitting retirement age and all, but please don't retire from writing ... ever. (Please?) :upside:...

If there are official lists for it, can I please be added to the "Interested in Attending and Helping" one? I hope to go but even if it turns out I can't I will help in any way possible.

They'd have to drive to Bucksport ... the Chamberlain just isn't high enough. :biggrin2:

I understand, Lily, and I know summer is all-around the best option for the Great Shindig. But August... Aside from the normal overwhelming run of tourists, the state fair brings in 60-70,000...

August is the busiest tourist time of year everywhere in the northern hemisphere ... is that really the leading choice right now? It's honestly about the worst time there is; no matter what the...

I just re-read Blue World, which had been my favorite McCammon ... and I wasn't very impressed. I liked it quite a bit several years ago, but it just doesn't do much for me now. It wasn't bad, but...

I loved the hope of the novella ending ... which is a King staple and one of the things I love most of his work. (Hope is a good thing, maybe the best of things, right?) But still, that was an...

I once wrote a story about a similar topic. I called God a cockroach. I'm not as angry at him as I was then but I've never quite retracted the sentiment.

They well might. I could easily have been overly judgemental, cynical, jaded, etc. It was college, and I am prone to a "love em or hate em" mentality when it comes to authors. Thus far, once my...

To be honest, I don't remember. I read it years ago while in college and just found it ... ordinary, I suppose. Just kind of ho-hum, nothing to write home about. And today nothing of the story has...

I really enjoyed Blue World but was not thrilled with Swan Song or A Boy's Life and never read anything else. Does he deserve another chance?

Yeah, no way would Linoge leave with a kid if it were up to me.

Oops, my bad. :blush: The last movie I watched was actually Where the Red Fern Grows because it came on while I was at a friend's house and a rugrat refused to let us change the channel.

Mr. Bean's Holiday.

I love Rowan Atkinson.

Several good ones already mentioned (I read all 46 pages) but here's a few others I thought worth sharing...
