I like writing about the worst day of a character's life; it lets us see the mettle inside. (Pronouns: RB/20 )

    I haven't produced much content lately. Just not feeling "pony." Been working on some space opera I might post to Royal Road or Amazon or something someday.

    In light of my recent lack of content, have some of my favorite books:

    Bibliophilia across generations

    Kid: Daddy, I want to go to Barnes and Noble, please.
    Me: Sure. Why?
    Kid: I want to read the first book in the "Warrior Cats" series.
    Me: Reading is always encouraged in the house. Get in the car.

    Kid: Finished! Can we order the next few books in the series?

Book Review · 11:01am March 5th

Road to Surrender: Three Men and the Countdown to the End of World War II, Evan Thomas.
Summarizes the leadup and aftermath of the decisions to drop the atomic bombs, and follows Stimson (US Secretary of War), Spaatz (US Strategic Air Forces Commander), and Togo (Japanese Foreign Minister) and how they lead to Japan's surrender, and how the militarists in Japan nearly nixed the surrender in favor of götterdämmerung. Good book by a good author.
