Mipps Fri, 30 Jan 2009 23:32:08 +0000 http://mychannelnews.info/?p=100#comment-162 I have found the above statement to be mostly true as of todays standards. I have found that reading a good novel from about 4 years ago and further really opens you up to a different time and place entirely. I have a very close friend who has written 15 of her won books (the first written in the 8th grade), and found them to be very entertaining and sometimes informal. It all depends on what you like. Today, you can find books on just about any subject. My friend enjoys reading anything she can find. I enjoy mainly romance. Take a few minutes and visit your local library. You just never know what you might find. I have found the above statement to be mostly true as of todays standards.

Now, everyone writes, and much of it is trash. In fiction, a good title, an interesting 2nd line bite, and you open it to tales with no plot, incomplete storylines, wavering direction, abomnable spelling, bad-even-non-existent words, pages filled with verbal porn and worn-out curses which used to be items of exclamation and are no more, just language laziness instead of seeking a proper word. and .... In reference and knowledge books, we get bad copies of old and proven methodology, very poorly thought out and less clearly enunciated versions of how to do anything. Even our computer Help Sections fail to offer new advise for what to do if something happens. They merely repeat what you didn't understand in the first place. Steps are left out of what are published as step-by-step manuals because the gurus think everybody knows what they know and can't deal with the newcomer who is starting from scratch - not even knowing the acronyms of the current specialty fields. Yes, I hate most TV- blood and guts, doctor drama, new super support for selfishness, and new ways to kill to get what you want, killing all respect for family values as well as family members and friends or just anybody --and it is painful to realize what I expected to be worthwhile hasn't been edited and is filled with stultifying under-achiever slang and bromides. So Francis Bacon needs to come back and edit in the word "Some" before "books" as there are also those that are poison and should be avoided at all cost - for there is no value to sickening the mind just because the poison comes in a 'book'.
