Even as fewer people read, literature continues to shape our world, be it through timeless classics or modern pulps. Sometimes I wax poetic about great works of literature, and sometimes I spin silly rants about the sinister nature of Doctor Seuss stories. You’ll find both here.

• Frog is a Dream-Stealing Monster that Must be Stopped!: Do the Frog and Toad stories have a darker bent? No, they don’t…but let’s pretend they do for a moment.
• How the Grinch Promoted Animal Cruelty: What the heck is up with animals in Whoville?
• Library Patron Pushes for Dr. Seuss to be Banned for Violence: My call to free us from the Seussian tyrant, and the responses I received from it.
• Some Random Thoughts about Dr. Seuss: Sam I Am is insane, the Wickersham Brothers are evil, and the Once-ler should have taken a business course.
• The Strange Tale of Little Red Riding Hood: There’s the normal troubling fairy tale, and then there’s the story of Little Red Riding Hood.
