I was bookshopping and came across the Agatha Christie section and started browsing through. Now I would have sworn I have read every Agatha Christie printed but I came home with a nice stack of books that I just simply can't remember reading. I know some have been released under different...

You are maligning a innocent sandwhich. They are divine when made with good quality ground beef or turkey. Make your own sauce (stay away from that canned stuff....yuck!), on a potato bun with lettuce, onion and tomato. Yummers.:D

I am at an exclusive girls school in England for the summer term. It's all very sunny and pleasant at the moment but I think I see dark clouds gathering.

That sounds like a beautiful drive. My day is less thrilling. In bookkeeper land the last business day of the month is a long slog of end of the month crazy accounting shenanigans. Which will be followed Monday morning by beginning of the month crazy accounting shenanigans. Of course...

Well I guess I'm a pretty good mom then, Mcilroga. I agree, you have to be able to differentiate between fantasy and reallity. There are no such things as zombies, monster, etc. We enjoyed them (spooky movies) as a family, made fun of the predictability and campiness of them. October is a...

Wow, talk about a late rebirth of a thread! I guess you never know when something pops back up.;) I just ordered this book from my local book store and I'm really looking forward to it. I've seen her speak on book tv and she's quite compelling. I'm mostly interested to read about her...

I just quit "The Black Angel" by John Connolly. I just couldn't get into it. It had enough violence and gore that it should have at least kept your interest in a train wreck/car accident sort of a way but it just didn't. How can a book about dark angels and occult subject matter manage to...

Considering the ever increasing national debt I'm going to have to start stealing my generic yeller mustard from hot dawg stands. None of us will be able to afford dijon mustard on our dogues from the haute dogue stands if this keeps up.:lol:

I just replanted my herbs and also just planted a tomato. Also, I yanked my avocado bush (yes, bush, it was some sort of hybrid), it never quite got going and since avocado's are toxic to dogs I need to get rid of it. I replaced it with a nice baby lime tree. Once it catches up to the lemon...

I got through Prey by Michael Chriton in a matter of an evening. It was an interesting book. Normally the word "nanotechonogy" would send me into a snooze but this kept my attention.

We still have no H1N1 outbreaks. Ironically, I did hear report of a local man died from some form of flesh eating bacteria here on the island. They have no idea how he contracted it. If its not one thing it's another. I think part of the problem is that they over report a story in the...

I was just curious as to how this was effecting you all where ever you are. We have no cases here yet but folks are getting squirrely. I was at Costco yesterday and people looked like they were stocking up to go into their nuclear fallout shelters. I mean I was stocking up too but that's...

I just wanted to second the Redwall books by Brian Jacques. Fabulous.

Silly pageants. They asked for her opinion and she gave it and then because the judges didn't share her opinion she lost. Not that I really care that much. I quit watching pageants decades ago. Pageants are beyond irrelevant. Silly women answering silly questions. Maybe if they change the...

I read: Kept - can't remember the author Brave New World - Aldous Huxley The God of Small Things - Arundahti Roy

Isambard, I'm currently reading World War Z too. I agree with you, gotta love those zombies. :) Reading in one sitting isn't working for me though, tax time and I'm a bookkeeper.

I am running through a shanty town somewhere in Africa (I forget) where a riot has broken out due to some sort of "human rabies" outbreak......there is running and screaming and chaos, oh my.:D

Along the lines of the "what books did you have to read in school" I wanted to explore the topic of what books were read to you when you were younger that may have sparked your love of literature. ) I have this really vivid memory of one of my elementary teachers (no I'm not kidding, it was...

I was really good at borrowing from the Library once upon a time but since I work full time and have two kids (which means I also run a chauffer service) I've been buying. It sometimes takes me a while to get through a book, especially a thick one. Thats okay though! I recently was at a...

I have lost my mind and am being "Kept" in the attic of a desolate english mansion. My elderly guardian has designs on my person. My guardian may well have to be disposed of.
