I'm going to try to post every Monday about a book I've enjoyed over the weekend.
This weekend I've been reading Black Rednecks and White Liberals by Thomas Sowell. So far, I have found it fantastic, thought provoking, and, best of all, fabulously well-researched. We need more authors like this, who will do years and years of research. We need more people who will fund that much research.
Very readable
Quite concise
Very concrete
Eminently Useful.
I add myself only to praise already lauded upon him, he is a jewel and a warrior.

The title of this blog reflects what its author wishes of it - to become a kingdom of information. To that end, this blog is a means to spread what information it can, rejoice in it, and wallow in the sheer delight of it. It is the long-term dream of this author to someday build this kingdom into an earthly kingdom, a school that does not promote slavish learning, but rejoices in the value of knowledge. If you have suggestions, knowledge, data, anything, please, comment. Long live knowledge.
About Me
- Wallis
- Mr. Wallis is a young college graduate, an idealist stuck in a world he knows does not operate in ideals, fascinated with a number of subjects, including Literature, Philosophy, Cognitive Science, and Politics. His friends were foolish enough to tell him his opinions are worth spreading, so he is trying to build these interests into a career as a freelance writer, as well as pursue graduate school in one or more of those areas. He also obsesses about enduring men's clothing styles at his other blog, The Nation Sartorial. Mr. Wallis has completed one screenplay, and is working on others, which he is interested in spreading around Hollywood. If you are interested in hiring Mr. Wallis as a freelance writer, or paying him to do anything else, please do not hesitate to contact him by emailing incastoutcast at gmail dot com.

A word about images
In this blog, I do borrow images from other sources in order to illustrate the things I say. This I do because I have not the time or skill to apply myself to a camera. I do my best to give credit where it is due, but if a picture on this blog is yours, and you want credit, just email me (incastoutcast at gmail dot com) and I'll be happy to credit you/link to your website.
If you are the copyright holder of an image on this website, and want it removed (you mean, stingy capitalist... okay, I understand, we all need to make a living) just email me, and I'll take it down with all haste.
