Noticed you liked Catcher in the Rye, and I was wondering if you'd be interested in reviewing my new novel and posting your comments here as well as a few other book-related sites. Thought you might like my novel since it's also about a disturbed adolescent suffering from mental illness. I could e-mail you the novel in an e-book format if you'd like (I'm currently out of physical copies). If you're interested, send me your e-mail address (mine is mail@christophertusa.com), and I'll send you the e-book. Here's a link to a summary (and a sample chapter) in case you'd like to read more about the book before you commit:

Thanks,

Chris

Wow - I found you because you are one of only 5 people with Advanced Birding, and what a find! I've just spent some time on your website - amazing! I love The Infernova (so far - I only read what was online and explored "hell") - truly a masterwork of rationality! and your blog is great! I love that you are a rational rational - meaning, you are not all or nothing, and see the value in liberal theists. It's all about the ultimate goals - a better, saner, more peaceful and just society - who cares what people believe or don't in the privacy of their own minds? I am definitely an atheist, but find militant atheism uncomfortable, and probably counter-productive. Teaching critical thinking and tolerance and a clear understanding of science should be more productive. I've just started reading an interesting book - you probably already have it in your library: Skeptics and True Believers, by Chet Raymo, and so far I'm finding it inspiring. I'm of the common ground philosophy - lets all move to the center of the Venn Diagram and get on with living. Anyway, I could go on, but I don't need to! Thanks for your work and your writing!

"I believe talent is like electricity. We don't understand electricity. We use it. You can plug into it and light up a lamp, keep a heart pump going, light a cathedral, or you can electrocute a person with it. Electricity will do all that. It makes no judgment. I think talent is like that. I believe every person is
born with talent."

~ Maya Angelou
