A Child Called "It" by Dave Pelzer. I spent the first chapter with a lump in my throat that I could hardly swallow past.

My husband and I were long distance (1500 miles, and no, I'm not converting that to kilometers ;) ) for a few years before we eventually married. What's the difference between 4 miles and four thousand miles? If you can't trust him now, then you won't be able to trust him when you're half a...

I read it, I loved it, it is one of my favorites!!!!

6 months and 2000 posts....all that proves is you talk too much. :p Just kidding. I'm just jealous cuz I've been here twice as long and only have half as many posts. :D Congrats!

Happy belated birthday, my dear crystal!

Happy Birthday!!!!!!

I like horror/ trip-out, too. Some of my other favs from that genre are Haunted- Chuck Palahniuk (I thought this was f-r-e-a-k-y) The Relic- Preston & Child anything by Stephen King, but not everything by King is horror, mind you any one of the Anita Blake series by Laurell K. Hamilton...

Here's the area where I live. Really green, isn't it? :)

I just remembered a news story I saw a few weeks ago. Human interest piece, really, but on a news program. ANyway, a teen boy got his drivers license and his folks bought him a vehicle, not a sports car, something sensible. The day he got it, he got a ticket for a moving violation (I don't...

Here, you can be 15 for a learners permit, 16 and some months for a full license. I don't know about any other regulations yet, but honey, if my state or area doesn't have them, I'll make my own. I have a daughter closing in on that age rapidly :eek: . As a driver, young drivers scare me...

Here are five of my favorites: (in no particular order) The Secret Life of Bees- Sue Monk Kidd Lonesome Dove- Larry McMurtry The Five People You Meet in Heaven- Mitch Albom I am Legend- Richard Matheson Blindness- Jose Saramago

Here's one every quilter knows: My husband told me that if I buy any more fabric, he will leave me.....I'm going to miss him. This can easily be made to fit, oh, a book obsession... :D

The first one that springs to my mind is The Secret Life of Bees by Sue Monk Kidd.

I really like m c escher and Ansel Adams. But my two favorites are The Scream by Edvard Munch and Starry Night by Van Gogh. I like them because......well, I just like them. ;)

I actually took a sci-fi english class in my last year of high school. It was a great class. I enjoyed it!

I have made friends with the librarians at my local branch library. Heck, I go in there at least once a week! I ask them all the time to put books on hold for me, request books through ILL for me. And one of them, she's about my age, knows what I like to read and now and then, will already...

In American schools, when the term "English class" is used, it is a broad term, used to name classes from the actual study of the language, as in grammar class, to classes also known as literature class. It basically means, not mathematics class, or science class, or history class, or physical...

Shari, don't be so hard on yourself. Some of us just have had unpleasant experiences with required reading. I, in my heart of hearts, have a secret burning desire to be a high school english teacher (seriously). I have that faith, too. But the thing is, with all the different...

Partly because my parents drilled into me "no reading at the dinner table!", partly because some things require two hands to eat, and partly because I love to eat as much as I love to read and I like to give each one my full attention.
