Ban "Book It!"
Reading was such a joy as a child. I remember being 12 years old or so; being swept into the magical world that books soared me into. I could sit down and read a book and literally have to pull myself away from it. Upon hours and hours of reading,

Book Review: Squeaky Gourmet
By this time, anyone that pays attention has figured out that I love not only food, but nutrition and health as well. Because of that, I spend a lot of time reading about new ideas for finding the best combinations of healthy and tasty. When I was recently asked to

Nightmare at 20,000 Feet - Horror Stories by Richard Matheson
"There is a fifth dimension beyond that which is known to man. It is a dimension as vast as space and as timeless as infinity. It is the middle ground between light and shadow, between science and superstition, and it lies between the pit of man's fears and the summit

The Last Rope
There are people who work for what they have, people who already have it, then there are treasure hunters. These treasure hunters operate on nothing but the belief of riches buried far beneath the surface.
This one treasure hunter one day believed that if she dug far enough in the place she just fo

Shadow that follows
The shadow that follows was twisting and well
The sun goes down and I'll stop pretending
That this is all a dream and
That any of you will know what it means…
All that we want is a common view
Cause this is killing me, it's killing you
None of the signs point to cloud nine
Change is not given

Ruler of Life
Every morning you awake
I'm the first thing on your mind
Before you fall asleep
You give me one last thought
You go to work
I am in your papers
On your lunch break
Your time is spent on your meal
and what you will do with me
Family get togethers
are now interrupted
with arguments between loved one

Rose Pedals Ground
Come on in
Into the elation
Without your prior
and the issues of existence
With me it's over
You have a tear
I have a shoulder
Fly to me
Time to time
Only once in awhile
You'll be mine
I'll always have your smile
The one you've misplaced
As many times as I
Go little rose, cry
Lose all your pedals

The Bends
Dive in too fast
Descend, light overhead
Darkness below
Perspective disappears with the light
Declining blind
I've never been more alive
Ascend, soar, arise
Obscurity below, overhead light
Happening is stately
Copius good is arresting
Flying high on the wings of conflict
I'm back in the light, back

Could Only Judge the Cover
I pull you off the shelf. No one has read you in awhile, let alone looked at you. Your spine is brittle, pages loose. I dust you off and put you on my night stand. I will read you tonight. I will read you soon.
I've fixed your bindings and made you shine. You're ready to open up and let me in. I wi

Words in Purgatory
I never asked, So how could you answer?
I so desperately wanted to tell you how I felt, However I was too busy doting you to see the future.
I have a bad habit of not thinking about the future through another ones eyes. I know I'm going away but I guess I was just naïve to think it was going to wo

The Painting
He stands up the easel and lifts up a fresh canvas. He sees the picture, the woman he always sees when he closes his eyes. If it weren't for the possible color discrepancies he could paint the image blindfolded.
First he paints the outline of her face, with every stroke is another quality that he h

Lamb: The Gospel According to Biff; Christ's Childhood Pal
I'm what you might call a voracious reader: genre be-damned.
THIS is my favorite book to-date. Bar none. And that's saying something since I'm usually reading about three different books at any one time and I've been toting books around since I was old enough to do so.
It's irreverent and witty an

To read or not to read...that is the questions
And the answer is apparently “not to read.” In my daily newspaper scan, I came across this article from the Associated Press:
“NEW YORK — The latest National Endowment for the Arts report draws on public and private sources and reaches one conclusion: Americans are reading less.
The 99-page study,
