Suck on that one <i>Honda</i> dads!Attaturkhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08511961896699190171noreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7657367.post-39118548161776274912015-01-30T09:08:00.003-06:002015-01-30T09:12:00.890-06:00R.I.P.One of my favorite authors, Colleen McCullough <a href="http://www.latimes.com/local/obituaries/la-me-colleen-mccullough-dies-at-77-20150129-story.html">passed away</a>. Best known for "The Thorn Birds" (which I have not read) she was behind many excellent historical fiction works, including <a href="http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss_1?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=masters+of+rome">"Masters of Rome"</a> series of which I am a big fan.<br />
<br />
And yeah, considering she is one of the country's great treasures she deserved a much better obit than <a href="http://www.theguardian.com/books/australia-books-blog/2015/jan/30/myozobituary-colleen-mccullough-fans-mock-the-australians-churlish-obit?CMP=fb_gu">this</a>. Hard to believe from a Murdoch publication, huh?<br />

...although I'm sure he did not know it was a game, and if he did, he did not understand the rules until the game was over and then said he knew the rules all along...and New York City sucks.<br />
