Flight 93 and the NORAD Tapes
The NORAD tapes for 9/11 have been released. "... But comments such as those above were repeated by other administration and military figures in the weeks and months following 9/11, forging the notion that only the passengers' counterattack against their hijackers prevented an inevitable shootd...

I read that book a few times. Parts of it are excellent, while other bits are poor or at the least dated. Here's my favourite passage: When Dildo's eyes became adjusted to the pale light, he found that the grotto was almost filled by a wide, kidneyshaped lake where a nasty-looking clown named Goddam...

My current tip for everyone are the Robin Hobb books. The Assassins Trilogy The Liveship Traders Trilogy The Tawny Man Trilogy Each are seperate, but they are intertwined. Easily the best fantasy I have read in years. I enjoyed Wheel of Time, but stopped at about Book 6, until he finishes it. Likewi...

Thank you Ax. You nailed it. Its a little like Watership Down (if you'll pardon the comparison). Frith and the Black Rabbit of Inle and El-Ahrairah all work because they're the legends that the modern day rabbits believe in. We're not expected to accept them as fact, merely to accept that Fiver and ...

The prose of everyday life
I don't know where else to put this, but occasionally normal people speak in a way that I find either profound, or particularly prosaic, even if I don't agree with them. This is not intended to be a repository of Winston Churchill quotes or quips. In fairness, it may turn out that quotes from here e...

Fantastic Brian! I'm loath to put my thoughts on this chapter here. In everyone elses rapture, my thoughts would feel like a cold shower. Suffice it to say that this chapter is far from the high point in the legendarium for me. One of the lowest points rather. I have no desire to always be the guy k...
