My Life as Author and EditorH. L. Mencken stipulated that this memoir remain sealed in a vault for thirty five years after his death. For good reason: My Life as Author and Editor is so telling and uproariously opinionated that it might have provoked a storm of libel suits. As he recounts his career as a critic, essayist, and editor of the ground breaking magazine Smart Set, Mencken brings us face to face with the literary aristocracy of his day, from the dour womanizer Theodore
H. L. Mencken stipulated that this memoir remain sealed in a vault for thirty-five years after his death. For good reason: My Life as Author and Editor is so telling and uproariously opinionated that it might have provoked a storm of libel suits. As he recounts his career as a critic, essayist, and editor of the ground-breaking magazine Smart Set, Mencken brings us face to face with the literary aristocracy of his day, from the dour womanizer Theodore Dreiser to F. Scott Fitzgerald, drowning his gifts in alcohol. Here, too, are the hacks, poseurs, and bohemian crackpots who flocked around them. Most of all, here is Mencken himself, defying censors and Prohibition agents with equal aplomb in an age when literature was a contact sport.Binding Type: Paperback

Noticeable Improvement in Engine Smoothness
Size: 150 ml, Pack of 1
I decided to try LIQUI MOLY Valve Clean to help keep the intake valves clean and maintain engine performance, and I’m really impressed with the results. After adding it to the fuel tank and running through a full tank of gas, the engine felt noticeably smoother and more responsive.
It’s very easy to use—just pour it into the fuel tank as directed. I also like that it’s from LIQUI MOLY, a brand known for high-quality automotive additives.
While it’s not a miracle fix for serious mechanical issues, it’s a great preventative maintenance product to help reduce deposits and keep the engine running efficiently. I plan to use it periodically as part of my regular maintenance routine.

Good for routine engine care

Definitely not a cure-all for major mechanical problems, but it works well as a preventative step. It helps lessen deposits and keeps the engine running smoothly. I intend to use it regularly as part of my maintenance schedule to keep everything in good shape.
