About Me

Name:

Out of the night that covers me,
black as the Pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may be
for my unconquerable soul.

In the fell clutch of circumstance
I have not winced nor cried aloud.
Under the bludgeonings of chance,
my head is bloody, but unbowed.

Beyond this place of wrath and tears
looms but the horror of the shade,
and yet the menace of the years
finds, and shall find, me unafraid.

It matters not how strait the gate,
how charged with punishments the scroll,
I am the master of my fate,
I am the captain of my soul.

about goddamn time...

Me and an amigo went to a swanky book store where I saw THIS book. Cool cover. Should pretty much explain what the book is all about.
How do folks like Dan Brown and Sidney Sheldon become "bestselling authors"? Many Sheldon fans [!!!] I know think he's a hot chick.
Coming back to ASC... the only reason I didn't buy it was the price tag. 250 bucks Indian. For a book that's a tad bigger tham my palm. There's no way in hell I can justify spending that cash on a book that wouldn't be read more than once and spend the rest of it's existence collecting dust. Why doesn't the print industry give Gutenberg a break and move to e-books? They're cheaper, cleaner and lighter. Now I know why forests disappear.
Reminds me of a definition I read ages back...
ECOLOGIST: Guy who writes a thousand page bestseller on where all trees have disappeared.

  • I would've "a href"ed the picture if it had a name better than "yakyak_SCLZZZZZZZZZwhatever".
    It may take a loooong time for me to acquire the book and of all things, review it... so don't count on it.
