Santa came and picked up my gift today - hopefully it arrives to someone very soon, but the Canada Post reindeer aren't always the swiftest...

Has anyone seen this movie yet? I went and saw it last night and I really enjoyed it. I thought it did an excellent job of capturing the essence of great sci-fi - H.G. Wells, Isaac Asimov, Ray Bradbury, etc. It's a remake of the 1951 movie which was based on the short story, Farewell to the...

Indeed!

By the look of the handwriting, I think it was from a man.... and the return address was from Washington state if I understand American state short forms correctly. Oh, and I LOVE the card by the way! :D :D

I've never thought of it much as separating the two really... as long as a book is enjoyable and not painful to read, mission accomplished! My idea of a storyteller is Clive Cussler, for example. His books are interesting and exciting, but his prose probably wouldn't win his any literary...

I just wanted to say Thank You to my secret Santa. I love the magnets, I can't wait to drive my husband nuts with them! :D Since I have no idea who you are... I hope you will accept my thanks and have a great Christmas and Happy New Years.

I agree, you definitely need both skills if you are going to write a book. But most authors are better at one than the other.

I agree with you, AquaBlue. I've always felt true writers write for the sake of writing... and write some pretty amazing prose and/or poetry. Storytellers might not be as technically skilled but are more interesting to read.

I was raised in a good old Catholic home and was taught the truth from a young age: being gay is a sin and allowing them to marry is an abomination. Luckily.... I moved away from home and no longer believe discriminatory tripe like that. I've even had the privilege of getting to know some...

Yep, now it works.

Very nice! The image for The Story of Edgar Sawtelle doesn't seem to work though. I see you've read The Good Earth - that's one of my favourites! :)

Bon Jovi - Never Say Goodbye (1987)

I love a Sidney Sheldon book on a cold, lazy winter night. The Stars Shine Down is my favourite. But you're right though, reading too many in a row can get repetitive. I usually limit myself to one or two a year.

Only the best for sparkchaser! :lol:

Try anything by Monica Hughes or Karleen Bradford. Great authors. :)

Is there a spending limit? I'd like an idea of what everyone else thinks is reasonable.

David Bowie - Scary Monsters and Super Creeps (1980)

AKA, Real Thanksgiving. ;)

Hi Irene, Thank you for your warm message. I can't wait for Hugh Laurie to finish the next book either! I haven't abandoned the forum or the blog, I just haven't much time for reading lately. Keep checking back though, I'm just about ready for a new entry! Dele

I don't like this new look at all...
