This site is a little project that lets me make fun of some things and sense of others. I use it to think a little more relationally without resorting to doing actual math.

You, too can earn a living with visuals.

I would say Harry Potter is not on that line

Is that because the author hasn’t read much good material, but the books are well written? Or, because the author is well read, and still the books are poorly written?
What are your definitions of well written or poorly written? Good/bad stories, good/bad form, good/bad technique or style?
Note, I haven’t read any of them, nor have seen the movies. Regardless of the hype, I’m not that into witchcraft.

May I post this on the wall of my classroom?

Very true. *nods* I’ve been following you for ages by RSS feed, by the way, and really enjoy your often wicked smart and funny insights!

Why are there always comments on these posts made hours before it comes to my mailbox?

if only the authors understood that…

Thank you Jessica! It’s often taken for literary snobbery, but so far I’ve seen it proved true.

A good graphic is worth a thousand words. Love it!

It’s hard to believe that good writing would not be good reading.

It makes sense. Yet if one reads a lot and their writing is horrible, are they the odd ball out?

*nods* also. I definitely agree with this, but my husband is definitely an “odd ball out” here. He never reads (almost cause of divorce when discovered after the wedding :)), but he is an excellent writer. He’s also very intelligent…something I thought was only achieved through reading. Hmmm…he did read all of his texts in high school and college. Does that count?

Ah. Only after reading the comments did I understand what this card means. And I agree, too.
Guess I’ll have to read cards more often to better understand them.

Most likely, but as in anything, there’s exceptions.

A good one. Might also work with the axes reversed.
