Happiness Is Reading Alice Munro
by
Lynn Henriksen
Alice Munro is one of the few authors I have read who so artfully relates the throes of the human condition through her characters' active and reactive thoughts revolving around people with whom they are intimate and others whom they've simply met on their path through life. Having just devoured Too Much Happiness, Munro's book of short stories, I am reeling from the power of her words.

"Away From Her" - A Review
by
Leslie Halpern
Among the many wonderful independent spotlight films in this year's Florida Film Festival, "Away From Her" stands out as an exceptionally tender tale of loving, aging, and suffering with dignity. Directed by Canadian actress Sarah Polley and based on the short story "The Bear Came Over the Mountain" by Alice Munro, the movie introduces an aging couple married for almost 50 years. Fiona (Julie Christie) shows symptoms of progressing Alzheimer's disease and her husband Grant (Gordon Pinsent) is faced with the difficult decision of whether or not to place her in a permanent care facility.

Debunking the Myth of Show and Tell
by
Marciano Guerrero
Although Lubbock's book The Craft of Fiction is seldom read today, the aphorism "show, don't tell" remains unchallenged. But what was fresh and novel then has become a new orthodoxy, an orthodoxy that has to be challenged regardless of the authority it exerts and the vast popularity and acceptance is has gained.

How to Channel Your Writing Voice
by
Tom R Bentley
I was thinking of the issue of "voice" in writing recently: you know, your writing voice, that whiff of brimstone or reverberant cello note or cracked teeth and swollen tongue that stamps your writing as having been issued from you alone. You'd never mistake Donald Barthelme for Ernest Hemingway; the word blossoms gathered in Virginia Woolf's garden would have flowers not found in the window-box plantings of Joan Didion.

Wooden Worktop Horror Stories
by
Jamie Everett
Having travelled around the world looking for the right partner to make our worktops before eventually deciding the only way to get them made the way we wanted was to do it ourselves, I saw some pretty interesting things, particularly in China and Romania. The first revelation was just how much difference there is between American White Oak and all of the other oaks, but the real fun started when I was looking at Walnut.

by
Dennis Siluk Dr.h.c.
"Now that he's alone again-" said Muse Harding. I stopped short of responding, I really didn't want anything to do with old man Beck. My Uncle Jeffery told me that the old man was dangerous, that he may not look or act it, but he had kind of one of those-so he called, 'evil eyes,' so I figured my uncle knew something. Oddly I thought it was-for my uncle to regard someone in this fashion-but he knew Muse, and the gang I hung around with was troublesome, and they liked to bully folks about, and Old Man Beck he was the new guy on the block,

5 Good Books to Read - Horror
by
Ondrej Dyrka
It was only several decades ago when the world was caught in the middle of the greatest war ever, WWII. People were suffering from their own horror stories on a daily basis and no one needed to look for them in the books. The era has changed, most people (in the Western society anyway) are blessed with a peaceful and productive life with no life threatening situations. It is in our nature to fear and one of the best artificial ways how to achieve that is through books.

Why Historians and Americans Are So Worried About Socialism - Read This Book!
by
Lance Winslow
There is a lot to be said about the economics of socialism, and how the ramp up of converting a capitalist society into a socialist one can bring good times temporarily, as a socialist leader can seize a nation by becoming a populist and wreak havoc on a nation. We've seen this in recent periods in Argentina, Venezuela, Bolivia, and Ecuador. Many in the United States warn we are indeed, headed in the wrong direction with our current leadership, in fact I am one of those who don't like the direction we are headed.
