Online Books & Upton Sinclair

A friend of mine on Facebook called my attention to a site called "Read Print" that contains over 8000 free books that you can enjoy in full. I browsed the various categories in the site's library and came across a book by Upton Sinclair that I found of interest. It is titled "The Profits of Religion" and expresses Mr. Sinclair's views of organized religion and the effect that money has upon it. Take a dive into Read Print and see if there is anything you might like to absorb. - One side note. Since the information was digital text, I had my Apple computer read it to me.

This Is Why You're Fat

"This Is Why You're Fat" is a website/book that contains pictures of over-the-top, super-fattening foods. While some of these dishes may make you drool, spend enough time with them and they will probably leave you ill. Dive in, but be sure to save room for dessert.

Flat Stanley - Wikipedia Entry

In December of 2008, I was asked to take a paper cutout of a small hand-drawn character around Tampa and photograph it in various noteworthy places. The character's official name was "Flat Stanley" and was one of many created by a class of school children. Each individual character, once completed, was mailed to a family member or friend in a distant location. Upon finishing his "vacation", Stanley and accompanying documentation were mailed back to the student for an educational show and tell session.
