Comment on The Great Big Book of Horrible Things is One Great Book by Young Bill Young

Vehoae! Yep, that rap on revisionist history was as much for you as for me.

I love this book so much, I’m seriously thinking of picking up a copy at Full Circle. It’s a good reference resource to have around when you start discussing particular conflicts with friends and neighbors.

Hope all is well with you, friend!

Excellent review, Young Bill. And a great resource for other writers of nonfiction and historical-based fiction. Have added this as a resource on my list of sources. As you would expect, Bill, I particularly appreciated your admonition regarding revisionist history. I do often feel like throwing my own book at those who advocate revisionist history (some university professors actually refer to it as “standard history”). But now I have a choice of two books to pitch at the offenders … in my dreams.

Just in case you’re wondering, I never did pick this book back up. I can’t say I feel like I missed anything. Sorry, Mr. Heinlein, wherever your are.

Comment on Ray Bradbury will be missed. by vehoae

Thanks so much, Kitty, for recognizing the tremendous contribution Ray Bradbury made to the literary and film industries. The movie, “Something Wicked This Way Comes,” has always been high on my list of all-time favorites.
