In other words, people who wander around the world, like travel writers are not astray, instead they are people who are motivated to learn and experience the world from their own eyes. Jack Kerouac’s On the Road, is one of the well-known novels written in 1951 but later…

The internet was supposed to be a total game changer, returning power to the people, and removing the media, and thereby the need for big money, from the political equation. Now, twenty-some years later it is apparent that the internet, and online communication specifically, has only served to entrench prior communication patterns rather than revolutionize…

When we think of Frank Sinatra we think of a man in a fedora singing and dancing in front of a big band or a main character in one of our great grandparents favorite movies. Well you're right but Sinatra had a different side that was a little scandalous. He was on the FBI watch list for being a possible communist sympathizer and having ties to the mobs.

In one of Ray Bradbury 's best sellers, Something Wicked This Way Comes, he combines a few things people fear in real life as well as dark fiction. I chose this particular book because I enjoy the darker stories and occasional horror movie. With the upcoming Halloween day, I couldn’t have picked a more appropriate book.
