Paul Auster<\/strong> has written a biography<\/a> on Stephen Crane and several other works without a word processor. He drafts by hand and types a paragraph with a typewriter (via Literary Saloon<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have shelves of encyclopedias, foreign dictionaries, and all the reference books I use. And I must have five or six English dictionaries of various sizes and editions. I even have slang dictionaries. When I\u2019m really stuck I look at a thesaurus, but it never helps me. I know all those words, but I always think, \u201cWell, there\u2019s one word I\u2019m not remembering that would be better than the one I\u2019m stuck on.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

City of Fear<\/strong><\/em>, by Alafair Burke<\/a>, “a tight, pacy police procedural, in which three Indiana college girls hit New York for their spring break.” One of them doesn’t come back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Album of Dr. Moreau<\/a><\/em><\/strong>, by Daryl Gregory, “deliberately and imaginatively breaks every one of T. S. Eliot\u2019s ‘Rules of Detective Fiction.'” It’s a crazy premise, a genetically engineered boy band who find their producer dead in his hotel room, that apparently works.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Martin Luther<\/strong>: How Luther helped my depression<\/a>. “I somehow found myself holding a copy of a Luther biography written by Roland Bainton.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why should we fear the Lord when perfect love casts out fear<\/a>?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Halloween meditation<\/strong>: Jesus defines hell as the place when everyone is “salted by fire<\/strong><\/a>.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

No matter what you call your church or church movement, I think you’ll go astray if you claim your side is the one breathing life into dead orthodoxy. The message of the Reformation <\/strong>is still needed<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
