IMO, having nothing to say is a whole lot worse than not having anything new to say, which is what he accuses PM and AR of. Indeed, this gentleman seems like someone with too much time of his hands and a grudge (envy?) that pricks him much.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15946405972445551848noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4320628892565328183.post-18895634043125031542014-05-26T17:37:12.200-07:002014-05-26T17:37:12.200-07:00All this wordy self-torture (and torture for anyon...All this wordy self-torture (and torture for anyone who could wade through the verbiage of this blog-post) because someone praised some book? The author of this blog has indeed too much time on his hand and some strange grudge (or envy?) that needs venting. I am sure this is not the end, and the venting will go on until the blogger's grudge tires plays itself out.

His degrees are B.com and a M.A. in English literature? He never took a course in History since tenth grade. He spent much of his career writing semi-fictional literature like Butter chicken, and travel, which, are not in any way related to history. I think a lack of grounding in history leads to elementary mistakes in history.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13771011229045653906noreply@blogger.com
