There’s no room for such distinction in a country where too many people have to claw for what they need and still have nothing to hold.

Ray Bradbury’s The Playground

While I like a lot of movies, books,Continue reading “George R.R. Martin’s Game of Thrones Series”
J.R.R. Tolkien’s The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings
When I have books on my shelf like J.R.R.

But, I mean, I will do a review either way. Tolkien requires aContinue reading “J.R.R. Tolkien’s The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings”
