Nothing like Tolkien - Best Description of Sorcery Ever.
This work of Eddison is brilliant. I happen to like English at it's most difficult, like when the author simply makes up words for the heck of it. Or else he talked like this everyday, which is not impossible. But before you think "this book is for nerds" I must say that the description of the magical spell cast by King Gorice the XII with Lord Gro is the coolest one I have ever read. ...

Well written
Really now... What is there to say about a worm book? Can it actually be INTERESTING? Well, this book held my attention well, taught me many things I did not know, did not burden me with super technical bunk that I do not need or want to know, and was a detailed, well rounded book on the topic. That said, I think the book was excellent. Of course, a more recent publication would be better ...

A great expose of the American 'One Size Fits All' system
Peter Brimelow notes that, since the National Education Association gave up its interest in K-12 education and became a teschers' union, rather than an association of educators, American education has hit the skids, and it has all been domwhill since then. The NEA, he says, has been taken over by the 'Michigan Mafia' (a group of bigshots from Michigan) who turned it into a labor union which, ...
