    What's the most misspelled word?

    Thanks for the link. Some good laughs there.

    Yep. I mentioned it in my PM to you. Maybe Frank can make a trade, some of ours for that one. I love it!

    Do we learn something from the books we read or just filling up our free time?

    So true. Thanks for an interesting discussion, Marc.

    Do we learn something from the books we read or just filling up our free time?

    The part of the article I read that turned me off was the notion that we are just reacting to the world and have no free will of our own. That seems to me an easy out someone might use as an excuse for unhappiness or mistakes. "It's not my fault." Blaming anyone but themselves. The...

    Will tablets overtake e-readers?

    I agree. They're constantly pushing new products, but don't tell you what they do, or don't do. By the time you've done research and actually decide to buy something, it is passe and new products are out that you'd have to research, unless you are one of those who just buy "toys" for fun...

    Do we learn something from the books we read or just filling up our free time?

    I just read the Wiki article on Schopenhauer, at least far enough to know that I don't agree. I'm basing my feelings on the old book I remember reading called the Cinderella Principle. I couldn't find the correct author since there are several books by that name, but the gist was that we were...

    How many books do you own?

    Having retired and started life over in a new location, I haven't built up much of a collection yet 30-40 books, but I buy a paperback every couple of weeks, and order about $30 or so from Abe Books every month or two. I have several bookcases to fill, and when these are full, I'll probably get...

    Do we learn something from the books we read or just filling up our free time?

    I find that good writers often have points of view I never thought of. I look forward to those revelations. That said, though, the bad people get caught, the lovers connect; the happily ever after desires are reached. Not much like real life. I'm trying to learn to be more cynical. People...

    Nope, Golanth and F'lessan checking out old holds searching for a place to establish a Southern Weyr. Can't go between 'cause nobody has been there yet.

    Hi folks! I'm new here and glad to have finally found a nice forum for books/reading. I was reading a post by Alix in the Discuss Cooking forum where she posted a link about her Kindle troubles and found BAR. I figure if Alix likes it it must be good. I've noticed several others from DC...

    Post-Apocalyptic! End of the World books

    Alix had a link re her Kindle problems, so here I am. A nice place to go when all the posts are read. I wanted to find a book place but just needed a recommendation. This looks/sounds like a good place.
