"I must not fear.
    Fear is the mind-killer.
    Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.
    I will face my fear.
    I will permit it to pass over me and through me.
    And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path.
    Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain."  - Frank Herbert

Tough day for literature. First Harper Lee, now Umberto.
The key to surviving this site is to not say something which ends up as someone's tag line - Steelgrave

"their citizens (all of them counted as such) glorified their mythology of 'rights'...and lost track of their duties. No nation, so constituted, can endure." Robert Heinlein, Starship Troopers

First the musicians now the writers...this is not a good start to a tough year...

Struggling through Foucault's Pendulum and The Island of the Day Before provided a much needed escape from what ailed me at the time. I still owe it to myself to read Name of the Rose.

Crap. The Name of the Rose is one of my favorites. :(
