Some titles are hard to read in the photograph. I took some artistic licensing and added an 's' to Survivor. It reads more like a local news broadcast than a stroy. Merde is french for shit, if you weren't aware. I will list the texts, authors, and p...

I'd never thought myself a militant vegetarian, until I looked at my book shelf. Rethink wicked Human instinct, the boy who kicked pigs eats, shots and leaves holes. The cuious incident of the dog in the night time - world food cafe, death and the ...
