There Are Only Seven Stories in The World
: ) It was close enough to know exactly who you meant. That's an extremely good point, if they're too woolly and mailable, then they lose some of their purpose. But, of course, too rigid and we come back to archetypes, which obviously Booker ...

:) Thank you for stopping by, Sam. I, too, love books, in all their incarnations.

There Are Only Seven Stories in The World
Ha! How did I write Ionesco as Enesco? Only God knows. I always do that, and it bothers me, but there's not much I can do about it, except edit what I write. I was thinking famous Romanians today. Saw a show about some of them today and was ...

There Are Only Seven Stories in The World
WordChazer, thanks for stopping by and taking the time to comment. You know what, much to my shame, I've never seen 2001: A Space Odyssey. I'm beginning to think a lot of stories can be classed in several of the categories, especially if you ...

There Are Only Seven Stories in The World
Favorite book and film is 2001: A Space Odyssey. I suppose that could be classed as Overcoming the Monster, the Quest, Voyage and Return and Rebirth. There are also tragedic elements along the way as well. Science fiction is a complicated ...

My Ideal Bookstore
I really like the sound of your dream bookstore, Mira. Honestly though, put me in any room filled with books and I'm happy! Like Catana, I'm very partial to the smell of old books. But I also go quite giddy over the smell of a new book. There's ...

There Are Only Seven Stories in The World
Hi Mira, thanks. I agree, the Theatre of The Absurd doesn't seem to quite fit. I don't know Ionesco's 'Rhinoceros' that well, but from my limited understanding, I'd say it's part 'overcoming the monster', because Berenger refuses to join the ...

Death Row: Waiting to be Killed
I didn't know about them. I'll have to look into the group. Will you be writing an article here about them?

Coping With Mental Health
Very good article - my son was just diagnosed with early onset childhood Bipolar. Along with severe anxiety, ADHD, and PDD. He has been diagnosed ADHD since the age of 4 but the picture started changing the older he got. He is now 13. It is ...

Death Row: Waiting to be Killed
The worrying thing is how many times the wrong person is arrested. There's a very disturbing trend of people serving decades on Death Row, before new evidence finds them innocent. I wonder how many were actually killed before their innocence ...

Learning a Language with Technology
I've spent hours in classes and never learned to speak a language that way. Learning with tutorials on tape has made a huge difference for me. You are right. It still takes time, but it's a lot more fun when you realize you are actually learning ...
