The French Resistance has sent you a message...: "Did yourMP3s arrive safely ?"I wrote earlier to say that: “I buried the corpse of my poor dead laptop, as well as the German keyboard who killed it. And I bought a beautiful new French Resistance laptop with a French keyboard!! :-) " ... the only problem is the French keyboard is “laid-out” as oddly as the French people are “laid-back”... so I kept hitting “Send” (“Envoyez”) by accident. Excusez-Moi !!a)      I need to wait for Lee Crase to…Continue

Scheiße !! It's the novelist's nightmare: the keyboard on my laptop broke almost 24 hours ago... it is a keyboard in English, as the novel I am writing is in English...  And since I live in Paris, I cannot find a keyboard English very easily.  So, in despair, I first bought an external keyboard French (a language I know fluently); but since French keyboards have the letters all in the wrong order.  But this proved clumsy to write on, so I then bought a keyboard in German (a language I do not…Continue

Aloha Roman, I was prepared to dislike today's quote (some feminist knee jerk I guess) but instead I loved it and just forwarded it to two other people, one man and one woman, it's an equal opportunity quote. Mahalo!Continue

In my inbox (my reply follows)-Hello, CulturalBook members. In the past week we've acquired about a dozen new members whose profiles promote some kind of wellness product: colon cleanse, weight loss, wrinkle cream, and other similar products that have nothing to do with the theme of CulturalBook. Also, most of their profile photos vs. profile descriptions clearly show that somehow they have done an excellent job of changing genders.Should these "members" be deleted? Please let me know your…Continue

I am reading

The Lightning Thief by Rick Riordan. I'm a little more than half way through at the moment, but I'm really getting a kick out of this author. He's managed to write in the perfect teenage, irreverent attitude. I mean, it must be pretty hard being the son of a God, but one of the big 3? That makes it even harder. As the son of Poseidon, with all the other Gods jealous of his very existence, and therefore actively hunting him, he needs to find a godly artifact before Zeus and Poseidon tear the…Continue
