What is ReadWrite all about?
Kipling’s assertion: “A woman is only a woman, but a good cigar is a smoke”, says a lot more about him than it does about cigars. Clearly, the man always wanted to set fire to his penis. Kipling also wrote: “…a meteor would crackle from darkness to darkness trailing a shower of sparks behind. Then they could see the ridged and furrowed surface of the floe all tipped and laced with strange colours - red, copper, and bluish; but in the ordinary starlight everything turned to one frost-bitten grey…” Now, that’s an entirely different story. You see, Rudyard was more than some sexist old buffer with the kind of sexual yearnings that would make Clinton blush. He was a damn good and interesting writer. And that’s the first part of what we’re trying to do here. We want to give you damn good and interesting writing, maybe not on a par with Kipling, but good enough.
