I'm in a library book group. This month's selection is "The Soloist" by Steve Lopez. A journalist documents helping a mentally ill homeless musician. It was good.

Last Night in Twisted River  John Irving

[Jackie Doud]

Nearing the end of ‘Next’ by Michael Crichton, I’ve started to read Ayn Rand’s ‘Atlas Shrugged’ (for the 3rd time).  Both deal with the greed of humanity.

@ alienauthor:  I read Atlantis Found, by Clive Cussler.  Are you aware that he uses ghostwriters?  Personally, I think that strips him of his badges, but don’t know who to credit.

Books I just can’t seem to finish:
Empire Falls, by ?
Aztec, by Gary Jennings
Mexico, by James Michner
Outlander, by Diana Gabaldon
The Bible

So-ooo, I’m trying to edit my manuscript accordingly.
.........................................................................

I was inspired this a.m. by the movie ‘12’, a Russian production of the jury-room, with subscripts.  I’d give it 4 out of 5 stars.  Semi-Quote at the end, from T…?

‘The law is powerful, but what can have greater power than mercy?’

Just for fun, from search engine I found related quotes:

When the power of love overcomes the love of power the world will know peace.
--Jimi Hendrix

Nothing emboldens sin so much as mercy. –William Shakespeare
Sweet mercy is nobility's true badge. --William Shakespeare
(Are these 2 not contradictions?)
