Quote of the day

"Writing a book is an adventure. To begin with, it is a toy and an amusement; then it becomes a mistress, and then it becomes a master, and then a tyrant. The last phase is that just as you are about to be reconciled to your servitude, you kill the monster, and fling him out to the public.”
--Winston Churchill

    Did you know Churchill wrote fiction? I have a couple of his fiction and non-fiction books. I was really surprised when I discovered them.

    I'm not sure Winston said anything I disagree with. Great quote.
