The University of Crumbolst. The folks at Crumbolst love you. 10 The Night Thoreau Spent in Jail. A play by Jerome Lawrence and Robert E. Lee. Eh, it was ok. Maybe I need to see a production.

Print is Dead 5. Print is Gone, but Rock and Roll Lives on. Saturday, July 09, 2011. 6 2001: A Space Odyssey. By: Arthur C. Clarke. There have been many times since I've first seen and fell in love with the movie over the last 20 years that I have picked up and put down this book. For some reason, it just was never able to keep my attention. However, this time, something took, and I read through it in a day or two. My god, it's full of stars. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Print is Dead 5. Print is Gone, but Rock and Roll Lives on. Wednesday, January 28, 2009. The first half of the book about a superhero from another world isn't anything groundbreaking. The second half of the book, where said superhero becomes a background character in the lives of some ordinary teens going through ordinary teen problems is surprisingly extraordinary. . McCloud's rich understanding of the comics conventions as detailed in his brilliant non-fiction comics books ( Understanding Comics.

http://jod50n2008.blogspot.com/2008/10/44-his-majestys-dragon-by-naomi-novik.html
Always up for Nerd Extreme Sports, this blog chronicles John Oak Dalton's attempt to read fifty books in 2008. Monday, October 27, 2008. 44: His Majesty's Dragon by Naomi Novik. Absolutely engaging and entertaining first novel in a series by Naomi Novik is touted as being a little bit Christopher Paolini meets Jane Austen, but I think (for genre fans) a more nuanced comparison would be Anne McCaffrey meets Patrick O'Brian. Sports a fully-realized fantasy world with interesting historic trappings. Harry P...

http://crumbolst.blogspot.com/2012/07/breath-and-bones.html
The University of Crumbolst. The folks at Crumbolst love you. 7 Breath and Bones. It is by no means a great novel, but I enjoyed the story. It would make a very good movie if a vibrator wasn’t central to the latter third of the plot. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Jeff's Chimes of Freedon.

The University of Crumbolst. The folks at Crumbolst love you. 4 Amateur Sugar Maker. This little 112 page out-of-print gem contains enough specific information for us to begin tapping our maples and make our own maple syrup. Of course, I'll do much more research, but Perrin's narrative is very encouraging. Getting to the point of having actual maple syrup is a process dependent on good luck with the weather and a great deal of labor once the sap is collected. But we are going for it! Wow, what a great no...
