“The sin if ingratitude is one of the basest of sins, think well before you commit it.”

A quote in my Bible, not sure whom should be credited.

 

[TerryP]

He wrote far more nonfiction than fiction.

Both can be true.

I'm aware of his other works. I've read a couple...have to look up the name of the last one...Conversations with ______ or something like that. It was about a POW in 'Nam. I've heard his book with Pancho Villa is a decent novel.

 

[It Takes Eleven]

I can tell you he was the kind of boy - as many of us were - drawn to damaged beauty.

- Michael Knight

[It Takes Eleven]

You can't drive through Talladega on a weekend in October
Just head up north to Jacksonville, cut around and over
Watch your speed in Boiling Springs
They ain't got a thing to do
They'll get you every time
Somebody take me home
Through those Alabama Pines

- Jason Isbell

 

[It Takes Eleven]

Tell me, what is it you plan to do
With your one wild and precious life?

I never have time to read now. I did all my reading before I was twenty.
