Actor, Bookworm, Instructor, Blogger. Philip Roth, The Humbling. Really need to stop buying books on impulse. Not that I need to deliberate for weeks and fill a special jar labeled "next book money," but two days ago when I walked into the Bookworm. In West Omaha the first title that jumped at me (actually it was the humongous "ROTH" printed above the title) I removed from the rack and stuck it under my arm, and there it stayed until I laid it on the checkout counter. Anyway, The Humbling. Snobbishness t...

Actor, Bookworm, Instructor, Blogger. Indeed, Jack had already begun to think of the beanstalk as his.

Actor, Bookworm, Instructor, Blogger. Most stories have a hero who finds. You make your past your past.". Joshua Radin, "Brand New Day". Granted, not all teens leave their summer jobs in the fall, but most do. I guess that's all some people want in life, but I never want people to say or think that of me. I think that's what people originally meant by saying that someone was "going places.". I think a lot of people know they live in a free country but don't live free lives. They don't go places. ...Rehea...

Actor, Bookworm, Instructor, Blogger. We sat in a blood-red booth. Orest gripped the tasseled menu with his chunky hands. His shoulders seemed broader than ever, the serious head partly submerged between them. How's the training going? I'm slowing it down a little. I don't want to peak too soon. I know how to take care of my body.'. Heinrich told me you sleep sitting up, to prepare for the cage.'. I perfected that. I'm doing different stuff now.'. Loading up on carbohydrates.'.

Actor, Bookworm, Instructor, Blogger. Mr Wilder, why do you write? I think I write in order to discover on my shelf a new book that I would enjoy reading, or to see a new play that would engross me. Do your books and plays fulfill this expectation? From an interview with Thornton Wilder, ". The Art of Fiction No. 16. Oh, Karen, you never change). Earlier today, in a Wal-Mart parking lot, I saw a woman who looked exactly like Kathy Bates driving a big red pickup. I am back in Nebraska. I met with my high-...

Best show of The Nerd. Was last night. So far. By far. I've ...

Actor, Bookworm, Instructor, Blogger. I'm asking everyone around me. How to live my life. I know the answers I keep hearing. But I listen close each time.". Rooney, "Help Me Find My Way," Calling the World. At the end of season three of The Wire,. He wanted to be, not what case he was working or how. Earlier in the series, a woman at a community meeting says she misses knowing who the cops were, and having them know who she was. McNulty, it seems to me, makes amends. I want to be?
