So I take it this is not yours

I am going to focus at the moment on how you posted this because this is the "Editorial Clinic" forum

I like the article. Since we try to focus on original content for the what could be helpful is a small intro to the book if you have read it. It doesn't have to be lenghty. What's important is your POV :

Why do you think this is worth reading?
What hooked you?
Who is the author?
What have they written before?

You answer all those questions and that's enough for pushing this to the front page as a review. You have give it from 1 to 5 stars.

The way I want to see stuff like this posted is :

-- In the Front page teaser:
QUick review, maybe with image

divided by <!--break-->

Then, after the jump, the whole article enclosed in <blockquote></blockquote> tags.

Does that make sense?

Words to live by

"I believe in the separation of church and state.... We all have our own religious beliefs. There are people out there who are atheists, who don't believe at all.... They are all citizens of Minnesota and I have to respect that."


— -- Gov. Jesse Ventura, explaining why he refused to sign a National Day of Prayer proclamation (May 6, 1999)
