ten years before the flood: March 2015
http://tenyearsbeforetheflood.blogspot.com/2015_03_01_archive.html
Tuesday, March 31, 2015. I'd been meaning to try Eugenides sooner or later, and of his three books, The Marriage Plot. You guys, I can sympathize with the characters so much. Painful search for meaning in a post-graduation world when you don't know what the heck you want to do? Wanted this book to be was the story of how Madeleine ditched Leonard (sorry for your suffering, bro, but just - no) and formed the ménage à trois. Actually, William Deresiewicz's review. Wednesday, March 25, 2015. On Terry Pratch...

On Falling into Holes | A Mighty Matter of Legend
https://gleomstapa.wordpress.com/2013/04/06/on-falling-into-holes
A Mighty Matter of Legend. The green earth, say you? That is a mighty matter of legend, though you tread it under the light of day! On Falling into Holes. April 6, 2013. Some weeks ago, the sermon was about how letting go of our histories would free us from prisons of our own devising. The story was about a little girl called Jenny and her walk to school. So if, like little Jenny, I happened to fall into a hole on my way to school one day, my first step would be to brush myself off and make sure I hadn&#...

ten years before the flood: Fever Dream
http://tenyearsbeforetheflood.blogspot.com/2015/06/fever-dream.html
Tuesday, June 23, 2015. You are surprised, Sir, at these sentiments from a Catholic.". Isa very.peculiar book. It was written in the early 1800s by Charles Maturin, an Irish Anglican curate who had some very florid axes to grind against Catholicism. Who was actually a spy of the abbot (? And that manuscript contains the tale of another poor soul, who, like Monçada and Stanton and several others down through the years, was tempted by this mysterious Melmoth the Wanderer who, we eventually learn, was greed...

ten years before the flood: April 2015
http://tenyearsbeforetheflood.blogspot.com/2015_04_01_archive.html
Monday, April 27, 2015. I just started reading Dianna Anderson's Damaged Goods: New Perspectives on Christian Purity. And I've already filled pages of a notebook, even though I'm barely into the first chapter. There's a lot here to chew on, and I'm trying really hard to not let my Catholic lens distort Anderson's evangelical Christian viewpoint. It just keeps cropping up and trying to splutter objections. I kind of wanted to kick the Mother Superior a bit at this point.). Friday, April 24, 2015. A Pansy ...

ten years before the flood: stories are interesting in that way
http://tenyearsbeforetheflood.blogspot.com/2015/06/stories-are-interesting-in-that-way.html
Monday, June 22, 2015. Stories are interesting in that way. The idea of the one-on-one showdown – which doesn’t really make much sense when you think about it in terms of practical combat: it’s much better to sneak up behind someone and shoot them in the back – became a genre tradition, that honourable guys, even bad guys, would prefer to face their enemy that way. The whole thing is a delight, and thought-provoking, and the two of them bounce ideas around in the best of ways. View my complete profile.

This Sword Here At My Side Don't Act The Way It Should: Magical Weapon PCs. Way back when, Mikah. It howls like Hell! This replaces the ego system as outlined in B/X.
