Welcome Henning. How are you enjoying Plath's journals? I've been meaning to pick them up, but not getting around to it.

I read "The Secret LIfe of Bees" in the Emergency room last night. Fabulous book. SInce my last post I've also finished The Lost Continent and I'm a Stranger Here Myself. Both by Bill Bryson.

I started counting the day I joined this forum, and since September 9, I've finished 11 books. I've probably read thousands though. When I was a kid I would read 4-5 books a day at times.

I'm a library girl. Our financial situation right now is not great, and I just can't justify buying books. Though when I win gift certificates at work, they're always to a book store!

I find out this afternoon if I got a big promotion (part time to full time) at work. It would be an extra 600 bucks a month coming into the house, and put me on a really good path towards where I want to be with the company eventually. Wish me luck. In other news, THE PUMPKIN SPICE LATTE AT...

But of course you wouldn't know, because the press only seems interested in the US. I kept looking at the TV and saying over and over, "What about Cuba!?" Has anyone heard anything about how Cuba made out?

mine says I'm a dyke. :D Am I allowed to say that word here? Actually, no, mine's a political thing, it's the Victory over AIDS flag, it's there to honour some very good friends of mine.

Take your time, my TBR stack is pretty darn huge right now.

Aww, I love Rats. We have a Chinchilla named Alonzo. He's the coolest chinchilla dude in the world.

sorry, I asked my wife. She said I wasn't allowed to bring home strays anymore ;)

It was the same for me. I love this place.

Yay! I'm first. Welcome, I loved The Davinci Code AND THe Lovely Bones.

Welcome Blobb! Enjoy TBF!

married, but there's room on the other side of me :D

Avoiding spliced threads is quite easy, if people woud just do a search before they started a new topic and reply to that one, instead of creating a new thread. I understand sometimes the search doesn't work, and I do think it's a little silly to splice two threads when one is current and the...

I just finished Don't Eat This Book a few days ago, and have read both Fat Land and Fast Food Nation. I thought Spurlock's book was interesting, and quite funny, though no where near as hard hitting as Supersize Me, or either of the other books either.

You finish a book at 3 am, you work at 8, and you still fire up the computer (which was turned off to save hyrdro) to chance you're currently reading thing, and post about the book in the "just finished" thread.

The pleasure that I get from talking about money is mostly that I enjoy helping people. My friends are mostly graduating university and entering the work world in the next year or so, and they don't know a damn thing about mortgages, RRSP's, Investing. It's nice to be able to answer those...
