The Second Son
By New York Times Bestselling Author, Charles Sailor
12 weeks on the NY Times Bestsellers List!
Charles Sailor's classic novel is a powerful drama, taut with intrigue and suspense. But THE SECOND SON also tells a story of passionate love between both a man and a woman, and between man and God. It offers entertainment as unforgettable as it is provocative.

Happy 10th Birthday BookTalk.org!
May 5, 2012 marks BookTalk.org's 10th year on the web!
Thank you to each and every one of you who have helped make BookTalk.org what it is today. And by "what it is today" I mean the very best place online to discuss quality books with good people from around the world. I really appreciate each and every one of you!
We'll soon be launching the new upgraded site but a few more weeks are needed to finish some of the features and pages. Hang in there and you'll soon see our new site automatically replacing the current site. The forums will not be changing with this first phase of the upgrade. They're next!

May 5, 2012 marks our 10-year anniversary!
BookTalk.org is about to turn 10-years old!
In human years we're just a child but in website years we have really matured. My goal was to have the new site launched by May 5th but wow there is a lot of work still to do. Things are coming along but I have dozens of hours left to get it ready for launch.
Donations would still be greatly appreciated as this is costing many times as much money as originally forecast. If you appreciate BookTalk.org and are excited to see us take our community to the next level please consider donating towards this upgrade.

An article on Cleveland.com mentions BookTalk.org
A recent article on Cleveland.com about me seeking out and thanking my 5th grade teacher for being wonderful to me can be read at...
http://www.cleveland.com/rocky-river/in ... teach.html
I was pleased to see Heather Taylor, the reporter for the newspaper, linked to BookTalk.org.
Unfortunately, she didn't have my 3rd, 4th or 6th chin Photoshopped out. So be gentle with the comments.

I've taken several history classes recently and I've noticed something pretty disturbing. The focus of History has shifted to give added attention to lesser civilizations, religions, and women's history. Anthropology has shifted to include added focus of women's roles within her society. The shift has been so great that the attention of students is drawn effectively away from what, I feel, should be taught. It's as though Pluto is being taught before discussion of the Moon ever takes place. It makes no sense. You discuss the Moon and then you discuss Pluto. Why? Because there is loads of information on the moon, the moon has been discussed to death and the material to be relayed is generally agreed upon, and IT IS THE MOON IT IS RIIIIGGHHT THERE!!!
So views like mine need to be beaten into the dirt by forcing my attention on small civilizations and exploring women's roles to the point where Pluto eclipses the Moon.
Case in point:
During the time dedicated for the rise of the Achaemenid (Persian) Empire and the rise of the Greek polis - we talked about India, its caste system, religion, and what that ultimately meant for women.
WTF who cares?
I asked my instructor why the focus was on this part of the world when the most exciting (opinion, I know, but I feel most people would agree with me - as it's also the most relevant to western history) action was taking place in Persia and Greece.
This isn't even the ...Read More...
