		<description><![CDATA[A few weeks ago, I had to travel to Denver for business.  I elected to drive instead of fly. The weather was glorious, and I had a book on tape—what could be better?  Driving also allowed me to stop into Rock Springs and Laramie and few other spots to do some research for the novel [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I am not an early adopter. I do not rush out to buy the latest and greatest of anything. If I have something that works, then I keep using it until it absolutely won&#8217;t work anymore. For example, Nellie and I bought a Honda Accord when we were first married. Fourteen years later, we had [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Americans and Reading The Pew Research Center has just published their findings on reading in America. It&#8217;s called &#8220;The Rise of E-reading&#8220;.

You can see my review here: http://johndbrown.com/2010/09/amano-jasons-deli-and-the-hunger-games/ Yes, but is the movie as good as the book? Let&#8217;s start with the beginning of the movie.

		<description><![CDATA[John Newton writes the following about himself. &#8220;My father was a very sensible, and a moral man, as the world rates morality; but neither he, nor my step-mother, was under the impressions of religion: I was, therefore, much left to myself, to mingle with idle and wicked boys; and soon learnt their ways.&#8221; And learn them [...]]]></description>
