True Crime, why america is going crazy?

Monday, September 21st, 2009

This is something that is just hard to believe, allowing a mentally ill person to go on a field trip with obviously not enough supervision, that is just plain crazy, so the people in charge of this guy do they need a straight jacket and what did this guy do while he was un accounted for?

Now that could be a book, but who would want to read the book?

Collectable Books

Friday, September 18th, 2009

Are you interested in collecting books?

Are you a Bibliophile?

Collecting books is a huge pastime for many people all over the world.

What makes a book collectable?

First edition, Publisher, Condition.

These are some things that can make a book collectable, more often the author of a book can be what makes the difference in how collectable a book is.

For an example, Anne McCaffrey, for many is an author that is very collectable.She has a talent for producing a world that you can feel like you are actually there.You find yourself, imaging what kind of character you are while you are reading the book, now that is collectable talent.

If you have yet to read one of her books I would highly recommend that you do so as soon as possible, the Dragon Rider series is perhaps one of the better ones, but she has so many more that it would take you years to read them all.happy reading..
