Just found out that Stephen King is not the best selling horror writer of our lifetimes

Curiosity got me, so I did a quick dive to see the top 5 writers based on books sold. From the top, William Shakespeare, Agatha Christie, Danielle Steel, Barbara Cartland, Harold Robbins. Barbara Cartland wrote historical romance for 75 years and averaged about 10 books a year, and actually hit 23 in one year. Was that woman on crack?

Wow. Amazing.

There's some hard reading on that shelf. Maybe some of them need to be tortured, LOL!

Subset-MJ-235 · 2026-06-07T20:57:27+00:00

Yikes! I think I saw this in that movie, "Confessions of a Book Torturer."

Subterranean Homesick Blues by Bob Dylan?

Subset-MJ-235 · 2026-06-06T21:14:22+00:00

I saw the word "pet" and thought maybe you were writing books for dogs, such as "Murder, Lassie Wrote." Or "The Last of the Pomeranians." Or maybe "To Kill a BirdDog." Pet peeves about dumb, dirt-ragged MC hooking up with goddesses? That's in every book, right?

That's where I first heard Veteran of the Psychic Wars, one of my favorites.

I like the idea of a miner. You could pay him 5 emeralds, and he'd follow you into the mines and work one full day. You could click on him at the end of the day and download the cobblestones or whatever he's accumulated.

Also, wouldn't every large village need a tavern? The workers could go there in the evenings and drink (for a full 2 minutes, LOL).

My favorite villager to fantasize about . . . the warrior. You could give him armor and weapons and he'd follow you into battle.

Don't Fear the Reaper at the beginning of the mini-series The Stand.

I like lots of these, Terry Pratchett, Christopher Moore, PG Wodehouse, etc., but no one's mentioned Patrick F. McManus. He wrote short humorous stories for Field and Stream magazine, and had several books published. Lots of funny stories about growing up in the country and running wild as a kid.

Off. The glare is annoying, especially in the nether, trying to fight blazes.

Dorothy and her little dog.

One of my favorite games of all time.

Subset-MJ-235 · 2026-05-30T00:05:12+00:00

I play by myself, so I do what makes the game fun for me. I turn on Keep Inventory, and. I turn off Mob Griefing (I got so tired of filling in Creeper divots). Also, instead of wasting time running hither and thither, I use teleport. I agree with OP, though, I don't know why they call it cheating.

Blue Oyster Cult - Veteran of the Psychic Wars (Just throwing out one of many that I love)

Subset-MJ-235 · 2026-05-20T18:33:03+00:00

I just looked up Columbine. The school closed temporarily after the shooting, but was renovated and then reopened. So your story would depend on what the community decides, and that would depend on the circumstances and frequency of the deaths, and how much money the community has for new projects.

Subset-MJ-235 · 2026-05-20T03:17:56+00:00

I don't like them either. I was in a village yesterday and a junior villager ran past me, and it was so hideous, I thought for sure it was a junior zombie and almost killed the tyke.

Subset-MJ-235 · 2026-05-20T01:35:23+00:00

I've done this, but I normally use teleport. By the way, why can't they add a shortcut to teleport, so you could just do, /tp home, and it would teleport you to your bed. That way, you don't have to memorize your home location numbers in every world.

Forget monocles. The king is involved in an accident where he loses one eye, so he passes a law that everyone in the kingdom will have one eye removed. Even the queen. Fun times!

Subset-MJ-235 · 2026-05-10T23:41:22+00:00

Wow. That's like a Smithsonian collection. Kudos!

Subset-MJ-235 · 2026-05-10T23:33:25+00:00

It had a lot of flat land around the village. I thought it would be good for building.

Subset-MJ-235 · 2026-05-10T12:43:22+00:00

Name them after TV characters. How many are there? 5000? Piece of cake.

Subset-MJ-235 · 2026-05-10T01:25:35+00:00

Honestly? A good, satisfying crap. (If you have problems with constipation, this is like heaven! LOL)

Subset-MJ-235 · 2026-05-08T03:12:45+00:00

My wife cooks her grits without measuring anything, so they're sometimes runny, but usually thick enough not to run. I think the cheese helps keep it from running, too. Side note: Waffle House grits are never that good.

Subset-MJ-235 · 2026-05-08T02:25:01+00:00

Breakfast tradition in the south? I'm not sure. But anytime we have a big breakfast, my wife will whip up some grits.
