More is the pity.  I go knowing the sting of unrequited love but also knowing it better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all.]]></description>

&quot;Why don’t you come and see me sometime, when I got nothin’ on but the radio.&quot;

I always prefer more subtle solicitations. Why not try Val-pak!  And girls don&#039;t fight; my wife and I hate confrontation, and she&#039;s a pretty good radio player too.]]></description>

I’d relish that sort or review to any of my writings.

Your writings inspire me.  The phraseology, the sintax, the sentence construction, and ooh the grammer (I&#039;ll leave it to your imagination as to what that does for me).

Why don&#039;t you come and see me sometime, when I got nothin&#039; on but the radio.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I think everything out to be published. I have found that if something is offensive to me I better look inside for the root cause. If it is offending my sensibilities it is either because I have a deep affection for the subject or I find it offensive other than that.

Reading is kinda of like rain: either you like it or you don&#039;t, but the bottom line is we need it for things to grow.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[From The Guardian article:

&quot;Rustamova&#039;s supporters insist she only wrote the book to encourage pupils to read.

One of the pupils featured, Travis Downs, said: &quot;A lot of books we are asked to read just don&#039;t seem relevant. So when our teacher asked us what would make us more likely to read a novel, we said one that has us in it. We asked her to write the book and helped make it as realistic as possible.&quot;

In the book, Downs is described entering the classroom &quot;like a stranger enters a saloon, like he&#039;s expecting loaded guns under the tables … When he comes in chin down, looking at you from under his eyebrows you can expect a list of swearwords like he&#039;s got them belted into an AK47.&quot;

But the 17-year-old, who left school last summer and is now at college in Bradford, says he found the book inspiring.

&quot;When she&#039;d published the book [on self-publishing website Lulu] she came down the park and gave us our copies as leaving presents,&quot; says Downs. &quot;She&#039;s an amazing teacher ‑ she gets students so motivated, she sees you as a person, not just a student.&quot;

I&#039;d relish that sort or review to any of my writings.]]></description>
