I also see no point to the currently reading thread. I have never used it. I do like the "I Just finsihed reading" thread. I go in there for quick book reviews, to see what people read and if they liked it. I have gotten lots of ideas for things I would like to read from there, from how it...

I also really enjoy the Taste of Home company as well. I like their books, and subscribe to 4 of their magazines. All enjoyable.

This is why I almost never re-read. I am too frightened of not enjoying the book as much the second time. Or perhaps spending all my time picking at inadequacies of the author. I can't recall having re-read much of anything lately, except for the Chronicles of Narnia, but lord I was 8 the first...

Well, If Voldy has 5 other horcruxes then killing off one of them would be no big deal. Though I do agree that it makes more sense for Harry not be one considering Voldy wanting to kill him. Voldy wants to kill him because he is the one predicted to kill him. However, if the prophecy came...

I have several cooking magazines I subscribe to, they are very good and have no advertisements. They are all from the Taste of Home company. The cookbooks I find myself using the most are (I have an entire bookshelf of them) Healthy Homestyle Cooking: Evelyn Tribole The Good...

I could not care less about my post count. I don't care if it is high, or if it low. I just enjoy posting. However, I am opposed to the idea of a post count being used for only particular posts. While the majority of people don't care one way or another, there are those who would use this count...

Our first computer was a Commodore in 1984. My brother took to it right away, and even at 7 yrs old spent his time programming that darn thing. Yeah, He is a computer Engineer with IBM now. My parents claim that thing was the best Christmas gift they ever got him. I never even touched it, I was...

I couldn't look up individual posts (or maybe I can but don't know how), it just showed me how many threads he had posted in. Whether he posted in that thread only once, or multiple times I don't know. I just was able to get that roughly 47% of the threads he was participating in were in the...

Alright, Sirmyk, when I searched here is what I came up with. I may not have done it right. When I search for posts of yours in all forums I came up 494 threads. When i search only in Non Book discussions, test area, suggestions, and member intros I came up with 235 threads. So.. ::drum...

How about the Scarlett Letter? Hester Prinn would be someone you entirely re-create in modern day era. Her actions could be the same, but what follows would be an entirely different story since people just seem not to care about that sort of thing anymore. I'm not sure if 'slutty' is the...

If you wish to get rid of the Post Counts all together, then do so. Perhaps, if you wish, just change the format so that this information is not posted on every post we do. Yet you should not use post counts as a means to judge forum members for their usefulness. We have all found this forum...

It was only after finsihing Reading Lolita in Tehran that I bought Lolita. It now resides in the book pile next to ym bed and will be read some time in the next month or two. I am looking forward to it. I would also like to read Invitation to a Beheading, has any here read that and give me an...

ooh, I will have to read this one. If you enjoyed this nook, another one you might like is "Stiff: the curious lives of Human cadavers". I can't quite remember the name of the author. Very good book, and very morbid.

I think that Harry will end having to kill himself to truly be rid of Voldemort. It has been said in the books that Voldemort had inadvertantly given some of his powers (i.e. parseltongue) to Harry. That these two are somehow connected. So perhaps, to be rid of all of Voldy he will self...

Well, I sat down today and read the fourth book in the Chronicles of Narnia "Prince Caspian". I like to have these to read, just very light and imaginative books that can be done in one or two sittings.

I bought the book because I had enjoyed The Geisha Memiors so much. This one is set in the same area of the Gion district in Kyoto, Japan. Mineko is sent to the Okiya (Geisha house) when she is about 5 years old to train to be the heir to the Okiya. The book described her training, what is...

I just finished Geiko: A Life by Mineko Iwasaki. I really loved this book. I enjoy books where I feel as if I have had the chance to visit another culture and become familiar with it. Everything was so well described, and it was a interesting story. I felt satisfied at the end of the book with...

We have several different coffee books that we rotate. I started out with Cry the Beloved Country because the cover matched the decor, but my hubby spilled coffee on it. Now we have rather big boks that are just fun to flip through. He has one book that is called The Complete James Bond...

I have my stack of books next to my bed. Whenever I finish a bok the next one will usually be just whatever I am in the mood for that day.

I have been searching Amazon to find a copy of A Thousand and One Nights (The Arabian nights) only to find that there are many different translations. So, I start doing a bit of research to attempt to figure out which translation may be the most complete and the most accurate. I read quiye a...
