Mark Steyn: “You need this book”

Sure. Like I wasn’t gonna post this:

“By the way, Kathy Shaidle has a new e-book out. I’m so square I’m not sure I quite know what that is, but I’ve read it, and it reads like an old-fashioned non-e-book, only better. You should get it. (…)
“She has fans around the world: in the course of the last year, I’ve sat in a restaurant on the beach at Malibu and at the Savoy Grill in London and listened to various long-distance admirers regale me with favourite examples of her prose…”

(PS: you can download a free sample chapter if you want…)

  1. Kathy: I Can’t seem to figure out how to download the free chapter. Can you give me some direction here?

  2. “These things happen when a species that can barely program its VCRs decides to invent a new religion”………..or to attempt to “rationalize” the irrational in a culture still capable of critical thought…in relating this very human experience Kathy,
    I now realize where your insight into the more absurd tenets of relativist culture comes from….I suppose if you once walked knee-deep in Moonbat guano, you recognize it when you see it. 😉
    Allegory with vivid metaphors Kathy…Certainly worth the effort 😉

  3. It’s good to see Mark Steyn is behind you Kathy.
    “…but to read some of the non-Muslim responses in Maclean’s or at the CBC website or The Calgary Herald is to wonder how many Canadians are auditioning to be the eunuchs in the new caliph’s harem.” – Steyn
    Here as well. From Conservatives no less.

  4. I can say I like your style of writing Kathy, but if your book really is all about Wicca I’d rather not bother. Unless you can link the Wiccan folks in with the Gaia worshippers that are promoting crazy environmentalism, and then maybe I can see its relevance.

  5. Not sure how anyone who has _clicked through the links_ and read Steyn’s comments in full could possibly conclude that my book is “all about Wicca.”

  6. I just clicked on the links you gave me to click on, and which led to a preview of the book that talked quite a bit about the fallacies of Wicca. Perhaps I saw the wrong preview? I was looking for some good conservative meat to chew on with a recommendation from a guy like Mark Steyn.

  7. Well …
    “The Kiss of the Spidery-Eyelash Woman” is one of the chapter titles, but no mention of Wiccans. On the other hand, “legions of Gay men” is a phrase used in that chapter. And the remainder of the book is …
    Cheers

  8. ‘Never mind, Canuck. I suspect the rest of the book would be too hard for you to understand anyway.’
    Hey, I just read what you had out there for public view. I guess what you’re trying to sell here is a bunch of rehashed old columns from ages ago. Perhaps if you want people to read it you could write something new.
