You know what surprises me... Isaac Send a noteboard - 30/06/2013 11:11:34 PM

... is that so far everyone has gotten #6 in spite of my deliberate attempt to make it sound like the story of a homeless orphan girl turned hooker. Maybe if I'd substituted 'craven' in for cowardly and left out Kansas?


6. First published in 1899, this book tells the story of an orphan girl after her home is hit by a cyclone, and her travels and encounters as a street walker with a number of cowardly, heartless, and stupid men in a land totally unlike her home in rural Kansas.

The intuitive mind is a sacred gift and the rational mind is a faithful servant. We have created a society that honors the servant and has forgotten the gift.
