TPD pp95-106: The Vote
There in the dark, Hank knelt down beside the bed in prayer. [Mary] knelt down beside him, took his hand, and together they placed themselves in the hands of the Lord. God’s will would be done this night, and they … Continue reading
TPD pp94-95: How not to run a conspiracy from a university
Today’s post is a bit lighter: it’s just generally bad writing. Marshall and Bernice are talking things over back at the Clarion. “Ah, so [Hank and his church] do have troubles.” “But totally unrelated to ours, and I’m glad.” Hah, it’s funny … Continue reading

TPD pp 84-91: Bernice on the prowl
I don’t have much to say about the beginning of Chapter 9, mostly because it’s honestly pretty well-written. Kate and Marshall set a place for Sandy at their table, and fret and worry (yes, even Marshall!) when she doesn’t show … Continue reading
TPD pp 81-85: Gossip and slander
Tuesday morning — it’s only been a little over 24 hours since the book began! — opens with the Clarion being a dead zone since the edition was published that day. Then we get this little nugget: As for Edie, … Continue reading
So.. tired…
The best thing I learned at Uni was how to maximize my vending machine choices. Late at night, stuck in a computer lab with vending machines right outside, desperate to stay awake, you learn a lot about your bodily needs. … Continue reading
