Let me be honest with you, reader: I reviewed this book only because I love short stories and those Amazon Vine people stuck their BASS in my face. I couldn't resist. Every past December I've gone to Borders to check out the Best American Short Stories. Once there, I run my fingers across it's smooth, white pages, skim the juicy content, and if it catches my eye, I buy. This year I took the easy way out and ordered a free Vine copy. With Steve Almond on the short list of the 2010 edition (his first!) how could I go wrong? Well, Steve's story, "Delicate Edible Birds" and a few others passed my interest test. Most of the writers' styles, however, were not my type. But do not despair! Preferences for style vary. Some people like big, fat, curvy sentences; others prefer them plain and tight -- alas, preferences for BASS vary like preferences for...well, the real thing.

Needed to replace my old knives...and these were an upgrade, and on sale at about the same price as I paid for my original, cheaper brand of knives. VERY Happy with these! I have wanted J.A. Henckels knives for a LONG time.

Actually pretty boring. You find yourself saying, "Where's the beef". Save you money. The writer, pretty much says the same thing on YouTube.

... It seems that various ISPs are breaking FCC regulations and Federal Law by refusing to activate some newer modems, in an attempt to force users to use a "leased" modem.

Amazing documentary, very informative! Mr. D Souza never disappoints me. Highly recommend to anyone, left or right, it puts the last 8 years into a more understood perspective.
