Virginia S.

She thoughtful, insightful, educated, and funny; and her writing gives insight into the political system in the United States today, commentary on great works of literature and non-fiction, and perspective on Christ, God, Mary, Socrates, and current global events.

"Stay Safe, Play Right: The Information Scientist" is the culmination of 15 years of observing and organizing written information, including garbology, newspapers, billboards, propaganda, receipts, consumer packaging, and books and their placement in the library.

She has read every Teen classic in the library. And all Steinbeck, Hemingway, Faulkner, Austen, and Woolf.

She's also read subjects in every discipline, including art; science (including global warming and physics); cooking (but not sex); etiquette and sociology; language; psychology and religion, and philosophy and computer science.

She is well-read in history, including "In Retrospect: The Tragedy and Lessons of VietNam," "No Ordinary Time," "The Warmth of Other Suns," "Profiles in Courage," "Hard Times," and "First Person America," and "The 9/11 Commission Report."

She's also read "The Autobiography of Martin Luther King," "The Autobiography of Ghandi," "The Autobiography of Malcolm X," "Freedom from Bondage," and "Up from Slavery."

Her work includes insights about current events; world and national politics; science; religion; a chapter of poetry, one of fiction, and two autobiographical sketches; and "And Now for Some Comic Relief," "And Now for Some More Comic Relief," and "CoCo and Nuage Surf the Information Super Highway," a funny and whimsical piece sure to delight teens, especially girls who need a strong female voice.

Her poetry, which she started writing at age ten, is genius, to be compared with Keats, Byron, Shelley, Wordsworth, Frost, and Oliver.

Her fiction is pristine, a finely wrought series which is imaginative and poignant.

Her commentary is authoritative and definitive.
