The Anti-Federalist Papers and the Constitutional Convention Debates

The Unfettered Mind: Writings of the Zen Master to the Sword Master
Universally applicable statements are not instructive. They do not inspire thought or care, but enable the continuation of ignorance. A man may comment 'this is the worst review ever' (and in my experience, probably will), and achieve nothing more with by it than biting his own tongue. It is not applicable...

I, Vampire: The Confessions of a Vampire - His Life, His Loves, His Strangest Desires ...
| Author | Michael Romkey |
| ISBN | 0449146383 |
One of the worst books I've gone to the trouble of actually finishing...mostly because I couldn't quite believe how wretched it was. Every time you think the plot can't get any more contrived, the protagonist more obnoxious, deeper it goes, like some urban-paranormal train-wreck.
The main...

Here's the deal: P.N. Elrod outshines every author in the genre. Why? Because the woman can tell a story, that's why. And just in case you're wondering, that's exactly why I read books in the first place - for the story - and The Vampire Files delivers.
Don't believe me? Fine. This is my take on the...
