Very interesting blog...GREAT stuff is right!
Shakespear I'm not nuts about; but I usually buy his new books when they come out...
I've had three of the books for years and I plan on reading them when I retire(in between John Grisham, James Patterson, Clive Kussler, Tom Clancy, Dean Koontz and Stephen King novels)
love it.
I have no idea what you are talking about.....
