Victor Frankenstein @2ndchances24 Millions of illegal immigrants raping and murdering people? In which alternate reality is this taking place? No wars? Are you having a laugh? There's never been a time in history when there were no wars going on. And do you think...

Hemingway is one of those world-famous authors that I've heard about all my adult life, but never actually got round to reading. I became interested in giving him a try after I found out that he had the same inherited health...

Victor Frankenstein Yes, I'll probably do that again. I'm not sure how the ticket price compares to the total cost of petrol plus parking, but it's certainly more relaxing.

AE Van Vogt was one of those authors who most science fiction fans have at least heard of, but I haven't read much of his work, except for his famous "Weapon Shop" stories many years ago. I sometimes buy job lots of vintage books...

Victor Frankenstein Thanks for your kind words. They did a lot of above ground testing in the 50s, but that had been brought to an end by a test ban treaty by the time this book was written. Thank heavens that treaty is still in force!

At least that is what he said a few years ago before being elected and eventually selected as Trump's vice president candidate. Yup. JD Vance said that women like Kamala Harris, AOC, and even Pete Buttigieg (not a woman) were...
