Powell’s Books is one of my favorite sites–an independent bookstore that’s online, but, if I ever visit Portland, Oregon, it’s going to be one of the first places I visit (right after the Oregon Museum of Science and Industry, or maybe the zoo). And now Powell’s is offering a chance to win a $250 gift [...]
As a semi-dedicated listener to Car Talk (when I’m in the car, and it’s on, I’m usually listening) and as someone who loves puzzles, I’m always intrigued by the weekly Puzzler. And by “intrigued” I of course mean “completely baffled and unable to come up with the answer until the next week when I may [...]
I’m not a writer. At best I’m a critic, but as far as criticism goes, my philosophy is, Those who can, write, those who can’t, criticize. What I really am is a reader. As a reader, I have an interest in seeing new work published, so if you’re a writer and looking for a publisher, [...]
It was a time of changes and endings, when what had been green turned red and brown, and what had been blue turned gray–a sad time, because there was no more summer. –from Oscar Lobster’s Fair Exchange, by George Selden
First things first: the deadline for the Second Annual Just Write Summer Reading Contest is rapidly approaching. Check it out! In spite of my flight being rerouted (thanks, Fay) and having to spend six hours in the Atlanta airport I made it home safely, having enjoyed everything from the regular swimming to the monorail rides. [...]
I was supposed to be in Florida right now, but trust a tropical storm whose name begins with F to force a cancellation of my flight and foul up my plans. At least Fay only postponed my trip. Soon I’ll be on my way to the Southern part that juts out into the Gulf of Mexico [...]
Due to an upgrade in our local e-mail system, I’m afraid any entries sent in for the Just Write Summer Reading Contest within the past two weeks have been lost. However I’m also extending the deadline. Entries should now be sent to just-write (at) contentquake.com.
Don’t forget to enter the Second Annual Just Write Summer Reading Contest! You could win a free book! Or you could just have an opportunity to share with others what you’re reading! And you’ll make me stop using exclamation points!
It’s time for the Just Write Summer Reading Contest! This summer I’m re-reading Pinocchio by Carlo Collodi. You’re probably familiar with the Disney version, but the original was darker, stranger, and often more frightening than anything Disney would have gotten away with. Instead of opening with Gepetto making a puppet and wishing on a star, [...]
I’d like to thank everyone who submitted their favorite summer reads. The selections were as interesting as they were diverse, and I feel I learned a lot about the community of readers out there (as well as getting some great ideas for summer reading of my own). Here are the books some Just Write readers [...] |
