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?)
