About Me

  • The common factor in Red Room Editor Huntington Sharp’s work in the varied fields of managed health care, commercial real estate, government law, cabaret, contemporary lighting, and editing is a truly dogged commitment to le mot juste. After studying linguistics and English at the University of California, Santa Barbara, he moved on to law at New College of California, where he edited for and published a commentary in the school's Law Review. It's hard to believe that this Eagle Scout and founding member of the Red Room Writers Society is twenty-nine.

  • Tagging Dropdowns Reveal Red Room Secret Identities

    September 24, 2009

    • I was uploading some content elsewhere on Red Room just now, and wanted to add a tag. You've probably noticed that when you tag, a dropdown menu appears that suggests terms others have used that contain that word.

  • Making it Look Right

    August 7, 2009

    • I'm joining all of the Red Room community in writing a short blog post on this week's topic: "What are your obsessions? Your passions? Your fixations?" This topic comes to us from Red Room Author Joyce Maynard; it's an exercise she does before writing a new book, in order to see what it's really about. I've had a hard time with figuring out how to express my obsessions. I have lots of ...

  • Danger All Around

    August 6, 2009

    • I was fascinated by Amy Stewart's new book, Wicked Plants: The Weed That Killed Lincoln's Mother & Other Botanical Atrocities, which the Red Room staff picked as its first book club read. It's an entertaining compendium of plants that range from mildly irritating to individual people to truly awful that decimate whole societies. The etchings by Briony Morrow-Cribbs and the illustrations by ...

    I couldn't get it in any economy—butterfingers with a mop. I have a lot of respect for competent custodians. Huntington Sharp, Red Room

  • Finding readers

    Welcome to Red Room, Willington! I'm so glad you chose to write about bookstores in your first blog entry.

This is the best YouTube offering I've come across in ages. You just have to watch this proper Englishwoman defeat "The Bandit" again and again. The slo-mo bit at the end is just hypnotic.Old School Jujitsu
