'To the Outhouse' by Willie Maket, illustrated by Betty Wont 'All About Flowers' by Chris Anthymum 'The Bearded Chinaman' by Harry Chin ...just to name a few.

Why would you use it in anger? That would seem counterproductive.

'Under the Bleachers' by I. Seymour Butts. I was 11 once.

It's the kind of web site that starts you off at a slow boil, and works you up to full blown anger pretty quickly. For example: The "current page" status is stored in cookies, but takes no account of the session - so if you open the "fantasy" books and then the "science fiction" books in a different tab, "Next page" on the "fantasy" tab takes you to Sci-fi page two. Right clicking on a book link and "open in a new tab" opens the text "javascript:subform('item#9780141918853-6','')" rather than the book itself. And so on...it's as if the site was constructed by the Forces of Evil to raise the level of annoyance in the world. :laugh:

A Direct X book for Windows 8 (not WinRT, normal Windows 8, the most recent Direct X book I have found is for Windows 7, and none of the examples work on 8)!

The Book of the Tales of Caunterbury: Redux

“Education is not the piling on of learning, information, data, facts, skills, or abilities - that's training or instruction - but is rather making visible what is hidden as a seed”
“One of the greatest problems of our time is that many are schooled but few are educated”

More Amber books a la Roger Zelazny. Unfortunately he's dead.

If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are a leader.-John Q. Adams
You must accept one of two basic premises: Either we are alone in the universe, or we are not alone in the universe. And either way, the implications are staggering.-Wernher von Braun
Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.-Albert Einstein

I'm awaiting the soft-cover release of the next "Pendergast" [^] novel by Preston & Child. I read way too much buy hard cover.

I don’t think there is a software developer who doesn’t know what is “O'Reilly”. I just don’t like most of their "books". Or should I say “technical references”.

Your statement "You lost me there." implied you weren't familiar with the name. /ravi
