He is examining the underpinnings of Western civilization. What makes a person civilized? What does the right of self defense really mean ...

Let's get on with our story, shall we? It's a good story and reading it is a lot of fun. Difficult, but fun. Defoe's language is up and down and backward and forward. It makes you think fast.

'Robinson Crusoe' by Daniel Defoe is one of the greatest novels in existence. It marks the start of English novel-writing. There's so much more in this book than one would ever know from the silly movies that have been based upon it. In fact, there has never been a remotely good movie made of this incredible book.

Too many zombies. Back to pirates. I put a 12-foot witch outside my home in hopes of terrifying the little squirts who happened by with bags held open at my front door. Instead, the smallest members of this beggar's group, almost every last one, ended up posing for pictures before my giant, horrible, frightening witch.

This is a longer chapter and starts getting much tougher to read with all the different voices. Boy, would I have fun running around in a pirate movie. Nevermind. I'd just end up feeling ridiculous and quit on the first day. If I start feeling that way with this story, I just make a cup of coffee and think about how ashamed Johnny Depp must ...

I've posted this one later on Thursday than I normally do because I've been suffering from a nasty sore throat. So if you notice that I sound a bit worse or just a little different, it's because I'm in the studio recording when I should really be drinking cough syrup and watching TV.
