Bram Stoker, author of Dracula, and Vlad the Impaler, the original Dracula, have the same birthday. Coincidence?
Nothing vampire-related is coincidence. Their evilness prevents it.
It's the anniversary of the Russian Revolution, marking the Marxist overthrow of the Russian government. Karl Marx once wrote that "religion is the opium of the people." What is the new opium of the people?
Obama! C'mon, marixsm, socialism, communism...it's all too easy!
One of the highlights of going to a literary festival is hearing authors read from their own works. What author, living or dead, would you most like to hear read?
Wow, there are a lot of possibilities there. I'd very much like to hear
Virginia Woolf read, especially if it's
To the Lighthouse, one of my all-time favorites. As for the living, I would love to hear
Wally Lamb but what I would really give my left arm for is to hear him, along with the women whose stories came to be through the volunteering he's done at York Correctional Institution in Connecticut, reading from
both of
the books the women helped write. If anyone can make that happen, let me know, huh?
