Time to read some more Nero Wolfe

Wolfe says: .. You can depend. on a woman for anything except constancy.'' And: .. When they stick to the vocations for which they are best adapted, such as chicanery, sophistry, self-advertisement, cajolery, mystification, and incubation, they are sometimes superb creatures."

If you need some tough guy antics, too, Archie Goodwin, Fred Durkin and even Lt. Cramer can provide those.

I remember reading one or two teen books in my youth, but then I discovered the adult Library and great books!

One of the first was Captain Blood by Raffiel Sabatini, read all three of them, then Beat to Quarters trilogy, the Beau Geste trilogy, Manila Galleon, The Saracen Blade. Flew many an imaginary mission over Germany, and dug for lost treasure in Apache Gold and Yaqui Silver and Coronado’s Children in my readings.

Then Si-fi books. Dracula, H.P. Lovecraft, Issac Asimov, Ray Bradbury and many others. In my life I have read hundreds of great books.

When the librarian tried to get me a “juvenile library card” I demanded and got an Adult card. I was 14 years old and did not like “teen” books.

Strange, I did not care for Westerns for some reason, and I absolutely HATED the English literature books forced on us in school. Loved Homer and Herodotus.

In movies I have the same tastes but love the old Westerns. just saw The Big Trail with John Wayne a few nights ago.

If they want someone who checked his privilege, they should check out This Guy

Self-Publish on the Internet, and bypass the publishers.

Wider audience.

We don’t NEED them anymore.

That’s fine, I can purchase real literature off of ebay at less than $5 shipped. I have yet to read P.C. Wren, Rafael Sabatini, Walter Scott, etc. I think i’ll survive modern publishing trends.

If you do want something current, check out the offerings from http://www.castaliahouse.com/downloads/category/all/

What then? Fairy-faced girly boys?

These ball-less men have been around a while. They’re the main reason I can’t watchange many new productions. Turned on ‘American Gothic’ on Prime to see if I’d like it. Never saw so may stupid pussies in one place. There are a few males in the production but no Men.

Usain Bolt does not qualify. The Jamaican sprinter paused the interview by NBC when the Star Spangled Banner was playing. He’s not American, but has more respect for our own national anthem than many who were born here.

No one ever went broke feeding women’s vanity.
