(I wish more writers would be similarly inspired to brevity.). What Is a Lie? The Mirror of Honesty. Two Types of Lies. Created August 24, 2005. Last updated May 12, 2016.

It's an anthology of short science fiction stories from budding British authors. A few of the stories fell flat, but some are good (I really.

Whoever invented boredom must've been mad at life for being so amazing.". Cosmic View: The Universe in Forty Jumps. And Arthur H. Compton.
