I've been many Republican homes and a bookcase full of books is pretty rare. In fact, many evangelicals I knew said that they only read one book: The Bible. Nothing else matters to them.<br /><br />A 400 page book with only 5 chapters won't encourage people to keep reading. Usually, short chapters entice readers to keep reading "just one more chapter." When someone starts reading ten pages of a chapter and realizes that its never gonna end for another 70 pages, they are likely to put the book down and not return to it.<br /><br />As for me, I plan to go to a bookstore, order a nice Chai Latte in a leaky cup, have a chocolate bar in my hands as I skim through the book looking for good parts, like what she has to say about her last pregnancy and that magical ride, or what she has to say about being pranked with a faux Sarkozy.<br /><br />I should probably even skim through that book as I'm munching on a crunchwrap supreme!Sansegohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10499581529539835224noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-56121788883344869.post-27018450434130851722009-11-12T02:08:00.771+01:002009-11-12T02:08:00.771+01:00One subject she won't mention is the church fi...One subject she won't mention is the church fire?<br /><br />The crap she mentions is distraction or bull. <br /><br />You know if your church burned you would have feelings and write passionately about a life altering event like that. It is not solved. I would think the fear factor would still be there. Whoever an arson is they can and often do strike again.<br /><br />I'd want to know if it was a random arsonist or what was the specific target. <br /><br />Palin's book and Oprah are places to air feelings and thoughts on such a deep subject.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-56121788883344869.post-73949799939234535762009-11-12T00:22:33.671+01:002009-11-12T00:22:33.671+01:00Sounds like a real "barn burner"...Not!

I worked for over fifteen years as an editor/project manager for a publisher, and the index was always the least favorite and most time-consuming of my tasks--even after the new-fangled computer-generated indexing function supposedly simplified the process. But that in no way excuses Palin/Vincent/HarperCollins: They were either being lazy or, more likely, were doing a rush job to get the book into print before problem child Palin's star faded completely. The latter seems to be the case, as reports today indicate low sales numbers for "Going Rogue" (yipee!).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-56121788883344869.post-39839516441702760072009-11-11T23:06:35.372+01:002009-11-11T23:06:35.372+01:00New Post up !!New Post up !!Patrickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06342444888520052108noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-56121788883344869.post-21481409315600069692009-11-11T23:04:08.801+01:002009-11-11T23:04:08.801+01:00Five chapters and 400 pages, phew!

Even with computer help this step is one of the very last and can only be done when all the pages are edited and stamped in stone. <br /><br />(Edit a few sentences here and there and that throws all page numbers off and would potentially throw off every single index item.) So it can't be done until the last second. <br /><br />And chances are, that this book was still being edited up to the last second since it was compiled so hastily. So for a very long book that was whipped out this fast, it's most likely that there is no index because there was no time. Not because it was a stroke of rogue brilliance.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-56121788883344869.post-9805220203496417392009-11-11T22:34:59.230+01:002009-11-11T22:34:59.230+01:00Five is Sarah's luck number
