New Literary Reviews Support Apolyton, pre-order Civilization IV

Well, i tried this before, but the comp. booted me off, so here we go again:

As literacy grows, more and more books are published in our fair state, so, as a service to the public, here are minor reviews of five new books. If anyone has read a good book lately, please, fell welcomed to add your own reviews:

Port Rouge on a Dankos a day
by Albertus Wennns
printed by Paitkistwotwo Press, Tassargrad.

Mr. Wennns brings to life many of the great deals in this great city, such as the very cheap "No roof Inn", where for an apo a day, one can have great, open air rooms. His section on the cheapest brothels is worth a look, as is his way to recover from the cheap eats around town. A must for the thirfty traveller.

Herr Bismark's Telescope: how the stars became German
By Markus Chegevitzki
printed by the Great Library Press, Moscow.

Professor Chegevitzki, using the best sources available, explains in great detail, though with some stilted wording, the great race to construct the worlds greatest Observatory, and how guile and deception lead to a German victory.

Founding Frauds: the real story of Apolytons founders
by Christos Sesentaidos
printed by Watch Out Books, Gaia.

Many still believe that men such as ancient SMC UberKrux, or our old Pharaohs, such as Ninot or MRIA still live, and even run in our elections. Well, Mr. Sesentaidos shows us the idiocy of these beliefs and how they are no more than a plot to control the people by a misterious group, lad by a fabed agent known as "Skywalker"

A Little Honor: An Autobiography
by Sir Boddington Littlepenny
printed by War,War and War books, Ubergorsk.

Sir Boddingtons story of bravery and pain is highly instructive. He fought during the great siege of Boston. his stories touch the heart and mind: how he mercilessly beat his squire for expressing politicaly sensitive views back then (the man was a Republican), or the story of how he tries to help his friend Sir Albertus, who had the lower part of his body crushed, but instead, he impaled his friends head on his spur, and while trying to shake it off, scarred his horse into charging enemy lines, gaining him his medals. heartbreaking.

The Story of Saltpeter
by Lemius Squarrel
printed by Apolyton Books, Banana HQ.

Prof. Squarrel writes a great book on this brand new substance, which he feels will revolutionize cooking and cleaning (the explosive dishwasher is the invention he admires most). He also acknowledges some possible military uses, but for this reason, about half of the book is currently printed blanck, with a notice from the SMC that the news are classified. hopefully this will be cleared soon, and hopefully the explosive dishwasher will hit stores soon as well.

Very clever GePap, I like your ideas.

It would be interesting to compile roleplays from this game and accept any short stories in the name of collecting a bit of our history....well hmm I don't know. Nevermind...

You should send these to UnOrthOdOx. He just finished building Apolytonia's first Book Printing company:

Unorthodox if you're reading this, what do you think of publishing some short stories written by all of us for the gazette? Perhaps some roleplays that will add an extra boost of imagination to our game?

They could be set aside in a different threads or something. I don't know, just an idea.

I've just been reading the CIV3 stories page a little lately, and I think it's pretty cool.

I tried to organize something similar for history, and it was a complete failure. No one would give any stories.

I still like the idea, however.

I personally would volunteer to write a short story to accomodate our history books, I'm sure some others here would be willing to as well provided they had time to do so...
