Travis Smith: my resume, bio and photos back to the main blog page

OK, here’s how it works: Copy the list, delete the names of the authors you don’t have on your home library shelves and replace them with names of authors you do have. Bold the replacements.

I got it from Grant who reads Sean Bonner who thinks tony pierce is da bomb, who has a crush on annika, who cut a slice of the cheese stands alone who nicked it from A Likely Story, who was checking out Llama Butchers, who listens to Jenspeaks, who found it at Fire Ant Gazette who held onto it from white pebble via Rox Populi who squeaked at Mouse Words who was studying Philobiblon who learned it from The Little Professor who found it at lovely, lonely New Kid on the Hallway who seems to have picked it up at Celandine’s Chronicle on Dec. 29, but since Live Journal is suffering a massive power failure right now, I’m afraid that’s the end of the line.

Anyway, my picks are:

  1. Eric Meyer
  2. Michael Connelly
  3. Robertson Davies (Canadian)
  4. J.R.R. Tolkien
  5. Aldous Huxley
  6. J.D. Salinger
  7. Steve Pinker
  8. Donald Norman
  9. Tanya Huff
  10. C.S. Lewis

Overheard

“The sad truth is that most evil is done by people who never make up their minds to be good or evil.”

...who said it?

“Almost every American I know does trade large portions of his life for entertainment, hour by weeknight hour, binge by Saturday binge, Facebook check by Facebook check. I’m one of them. In the course of writing this I’ve watched all 13 episodes of House of Cards and who knows how many more West Wing episodes, and I’ve spent any number of blurred hours falling down internet rabbit holes. All instead of reading, or writing, or working, or spending real time with people I love.”

...who said it?

“Live a good life. If there are gods and they are just, then they will not care how devout you have been, but will welcome you based on the virtues you have lived by. If there are gods, but unjust, then you should not want to worship them. If there are no gods, then you will be gone, but will have lived a noble life that will live on in the memories of your loved ones.”

...who said it?

“I play with variables constantly.”

...who said it?

“Only the person who has learned Continual Love coming from a heart of Gratitude/Worship can effectively deal with the problem of loneliness.”
