The Literate Man, a Book Blog for Men. Books, not which afford us a cowering enjoyment, but in which each thought is of unusual daring; such as an idle man cannot read, and a timid one would not be entertained by, which even make us dangerous to existing institution—such I call good books. - Henry David Thoreau.

the ken: The Rum Diary, adaptations and film critics
http://trippingabout.blogspot.com/2012/03/rum-diary-adaptations-and-film-critics.html
A blog dedicated to literature by an arm-chair critic and would-be writer. Tuesday, March 06, 2012. The Rum Diary, adaptations and film critics. Rex Reed is film critic. To be honest, I had to Google his name and then I remembered that fact. Since I don't have time for pig-fucking recreants who never had the courage to write or act or paint or participate in the very medium they then attempt to criticize, I tend to forget they exist. Reed is also gay. And possibly a racist. Tonight and though I'd agree t...

the ken: Tolstoy v Dostoevsky
http://trippingabout.blogspot.com/2012/02/tolstoy-v-dostoevsky.html
A blog dedicated to literature by an arm-chair critic and would-be writer. Friday, February 24, 2012. The other night I was with friends at a bar—my fifth bourbon of the night in the books—and one of my friends said out of thin air, "You told me once that for your money you'd always take Tolstoy over Dostoevsky. You can't really believe that, can you? Of course I had no intention of backing down at this point. If you start a fight, as my father once said, you better damn well finish it. Of course this se...

the ken: Dickens birthday
http://trippingabout.blogspot.com/2012/02/dickens-birthday.html
A blog dedicated to literature by an arm-chair critic and would-be writer. Tuesday, February 07, 2012. You know it's a big day when Google changes their icon to honor you. That's when you know you know you've really made it. I had a lengthy conversation about Charles Dickens the other day with somebody. I forget who because I've been drinking everyday for the last three. And A Tale of Two Cities. No word on where one of my favorite characters, Sam Weller from the Pickwick Papers.

Time for a Change | a few of my favourite books
https://afewofmyfavouritebooks.wordpress.com/2011/04/14/time-for-a-change
A few of my favourite books. Laquo; Those Gorgeous Georgians. Time for a Change. April 14, 2011. So it looks like I have moved blogs, to lavender tisane. By Fanny Burney there, as well as the first two Pink Carnation books by Lauren Willig, so please stop by for some lavender tea with me! By the way, what is the protocol or procedure on moving blogs, do people move all their old entries to the new site or just start over and tell people to refer back to the old one for previous reviews? You need to do an...
