I would suggest "Reading Lolita in Tehran" by Azar Nafisi and "Love Thy Neighbor--A Story of War" by Peter Maas.

If it wasn't for audiobooks, I wouldn't get much "reading" done. I work in a factory building catheters, so I HAVE to have something to listen to besides the radio. I would suggest any by Stephen King, especially if HE reads them. Been reading a lot of biographies lately, and re-reading...

Coors Light, Corona Light (with lime, of course) and Amber Bock.... Loved the video on opening a bottle with a piece of paper, Aquablue!!!

Having raised two kids, I know that you can do all the right things as far as instilling beliefs and morals, but the hard ugly fact is you simply cannot control what your kids' friends make available to them...i.e. MTV, songs with HIGHLY suggestive/blatantly sexual lyrics, etc. Not to mention...

scored 119 out of 120....suprised myself! Forwarded the link to a friend who only reads self-help books (wealth building, etc...) He says reading anything else is a waste of time---poor guy, I actually feel sorry for him...I told him he might end up rich, but he'd be dull and unimaginative...

"Mists" is wonderful. I've read it two or three times and really enjoyed it.

A terrific series to read is "The Chronicles of Thomas Covenant The Unbeliever" by Stephen R. Donaldson. There's 11 books in the series. Here's a link to the overview page... http://theland.antgear.com/overview.html

Thanks Frodo! I checked it out, and that's not it, but thanks for the suggestion. It wasn't exactly medieval times, and definetely not dinosaurs. I think there were either gnomes or dwarves that helped them get away from the Kobolds. I think the king (?) sent them on this quest before he...

"Broken Boy Soldiers"--The Raconteurs. Wanting "Stadium Arcadium" and about 6 gazillion other titles....

I've listened to them since I was a teenager, and I still love their music. I think "Physical Graffiti" is prob. their best volume of work. There were Tolkien references in "Ramble On"...i.e. "In the darkest depths of Mordor, I met a girl so fair. But Gollum, the evil one, crept up and slipped...

Your guess is as good as mine...I heard it was the last, but she also said that there might be more.... SoS was disappointing, considering the depth of the previous four novels. I just didn't get that feeling of standing on the edge of civilization in a frozen land with a glacial wind in my...

I agree Novella. Jack's search in the 50's and Steinbeck's in the 60's to find the true heart and soul of America would be near impossible today. To find the REAL America instead of the version served up by Hollywood is but a whisper of a dream.

I love the series, although the last book seemed less "authentic" than the first four. I saw an interview with her in which she stated that she was very busy with grandchildren, and that it made for less time to research and write. Having 3 grandkids myself, I can say that it is hard to find...

You're Ulysses by James Joyce Most people are convinced that you don't make any sense, but compared to what else you could say, what you're saying now makes tons of sense. What people do understand about you is your vulgarity, which has convinced people that you are at once brilliant and...

Read it about 6 months ago...throughly engrossing read...My sis had just gotten back from Afghanistan (Nat. Guards) and she told me about it.

I have read and re-read Jean M. Auel's "Earth's Children" series probably 15-20 times (each book). Still waiting on the sixth book to come out...also loved the O'Malley books by Bertrice Small and have re-read them many times, and "Pandora" is my favorite Anne Rice vampire book...

I don't know if this book was ever available in the U.K. but I'm hoping someone will know the title and/or author. The story concerned a brother and sister who were attracted to a mysterious forest at the end of a dead-end street in their town. The stepped into another world when the finally...
