I have started simply by entering the books I can see from my desk, some of which are from stories or books I've written, some old favourites, and some just there because of random drift. As soon as I can bribe a teenager to enter the stuff in the rest of the house .... (added later) It would appear that the teenagers of North Essex are wholly incorruptible. So the great work will proceed rather slowly. If I have, as I suspect, entered about half the books I own, there are fewer than I had thought.

Wanted to let you know how much I enjoyed Darwin Wars. An insightful and funny book that has never garnered the readership it deserves, I think.
Have you ever thought of doing an review essay or something as an update or follow-up on Darwin Wars?

Would you tell me where this quote originates, meaning, if it's in a book, what is the title? If you could reply to sue.blauner@gmail.com that would be great. Thanks.
I will greet this day with love in my heart. And how will I do this? Henceforth will I look on all things with love and be born again. I will love the sun for it warms my bones; yet I will love the rain for it cleanses my spirit. I will love the light for it shows me the way; yet I will love the darkness for it shows me the stars. I will welcome happiness as it enlarges my heart; yet I will endure sadness for it opens my soul. I will acknowledge rewards for they are my due; yet I will welcome obstacles for they are my challenge. - Og Mandino

To do anything truly worth doing, I must not stand back shivering and thinking of the cold and danger, but jump in with gusto and scramble through as well as I can."
