Would you like something to read that has nothing to to do with Texas civil procedure?



Here's three things you could read in your "Free Time."

1) Check out the Spanish Medievalist's new book, "Guía básica de la critica literaria y el trabajo de investigación." As the SM puts it, this "is a book that helps students of Spanish with the difficult, if not daunting, task of writing papers in Spanish about Spanish literature." Crikeys! The guy wrote an entire book in Spanish. I find that pretty impressive for a Minnesota Lutheran.

2) My high school buddy, Ron Fournier, was on the school paper with me. He was a great guy-- and I still apologize to him regularly for accidently spitting on him during cross country races. He also repaired cracks in his car's dashboard with band-aids. Anyways, after high school he actually went into journalism, eventually becoming A.P. correspondent at the White House. He's perhaps the most acccomplished person from my high school class. Now he is part of a new internet thing called Hot Soup. Check it out.

3) I finished another chapter of my own book yesterday, which is now mostly done. The book analyzes the trial of Christ as a death penalty sentencing. If you have a few minutes, Chapter Ten is available for download here.

Comments:
Well, you know, us Minnesota Lutherans we're into a lot of things, and since I pertain to the group of southern Minnesota Norwegian Lutherans, some of us speak Spanish, and we can trace our heritage all the way to El Cid--you know, Charleton Heston. So I thought I'd take advantage of this strange talent and write book in Spanish. Believe me, I've come a long way since "Juan es guapo. María es bonita," which were the first two sentences I learned in Spanish class...a few years ago. Big thanks to the Razor for all the positive exposure!
 
I am just hoping that you will write your next book in Medieval.
