I use a bookmark featuring Commander Riker from Star Trek The Next Generation. I've had it for years and years. Let's call it a childhood crush...:o

Sorry to butt in on a class discussion (at least I'm hoping that's what this is!) I read this book in grade school and just loved it! It inspired me to read a few more of Lois Lowry's books. It's great to hear so many people are still enjoying it today. I'd love to hear some of your parts...

Oh Litany! :D

Very glad to hear you're recovering! I hope you're feeling 100% very soon. In the meantime, I hope you've stocked up on books.

The Best is Yet to Come - James Darren

Wind in the Willows. It's hailed to be such a classic, but I just couldn't get through it.

I agree as well.

Now you've really peaked my interest. I'm a sucker for the old novels. If you do find it, please let me know.

Well you're right, it's not the most common form of narration. I think it cheapens the story. I've seen it in some young adult books, but I can't recall any titles as it's been a few years, and I didn't find them very special. A few notable exceptions: -Clive Cussler does it to some degree in...

Sorry Nyse, but I'm with Bookworm. Your theories are all well and good in Utopia, but that's just not realistic. I would recommend that you give Lord of the Flies a read. If you think that book isn't realistic, go visit your local elementary school at recess. If you were interested in...

I remember! It was Island of the Blue Dolphins by Scott O'Dell. I read it over and over again over about 3 or 4 years. I wanted so much to live on my own island.

I think you just narrowed your search down to several million books. Maybe ask the person that suggested it in the first place...

Quite true. I'm shocked sometimes by how poorly educated we are today, especially in countries that have so many resources at our disposal.

Mine was a kid's version of Peter Pan. What I loved most about it were the beautiful little pictures along the bottom of the page with writing, opposite the main art. It was the first book I learned to read to myself, mainly because my mother got tired of reading it over and over and over! I...

Very good! :D

Yes, yes it is!

Oh no, I think they're great! Definitely an attention-grabber! Hence the smiley face! :) :D :)

I don't think you can be un-baptized. But the idea of baptism is to wash away original sin so you can go to heaven. If you want to undo that, I suppose all you would have to do is commit a cardinal sin. Depending on your branch os Christianity, it can be as easy as eating meat on Friday or as...

I think I understand you now. It's a very interesting theory, but you're making the fatal mistake of assuming that everyone is born with the same moral code. The only way your theory would work in the real world would be in a small community with similar-minded people. When you put in factors...

Thanks! :D
