Oh, I see. I wasn't aware of all that behind-the-scenes processing. Thanks for the quick reply!

I mean, if I had to cut back on my caffeine intake for some reason, I'd switch to black tea, then green, and then herbal only to wean myself off.

I'm just wondering about the stickies that were closed in general book discussion: Why are they still stickies if they are closed? Is it possible to "un-stick" them? I would prefer it if the closed threads could just "fade away" and it doesn't appear that closed stickies can do this.

I too like Earl Grey. (Lady Grey tastes similar, I think it's a little less strong.) Actually I like pretty much every flavor of tea I've tried except mint. It's weird too because I love mint in every other context. I could see myself switching from coffee to tea if I had to for health...

I love tea and I love trying different flavors of it. Right now my absolute favorites are Chai Spice and Licorice. I know tea has lots of great health benefits too. So: Do you drink tea? What flavors are your favorite or do you just like it plain? What do you put in it? Sugar? Lemon...

I thought I'd revive this game... it's a good one. I lost my confidence but I'm slowly getting it back. What do you REALLY want for Christmas?

lol! good one, muggle.

Here, the wind chill cut the temperature in half today... it was officially in the 30s but it felt like it was 15 outside (Fahrenheit). In other words, FRICKIN FREEZING!:(

Actually, Bookie, Stewart directed you towards other resources that you could have used to answer your question. I think the reason why your questions received such negative feedback is because 1) You haven't read the books, and it seemed like you just wanted quick answers to your questions...

Astoryfan, Your librarians would probably be interested to know about that gap in their collection! You might want to mention it at the reference desk next time you go there, and who knows, if their budget allows they might buy some, especially since they know that those books will be used...

Occlith, is that "Paint it Black" by the Stones?

Great list of resources, ions! My message to students: if you've read the book or at least a good chunk of the book and have a question, I think people here can help you. If you haven't read the book in question, tough luck. Give yourself more time to read it next time.

Well you've got your classics like George Orwell's 1984 and Aldous Huxley's Brave New World. Both are excellent. If you'd like to read something about Stalinism/Communism try The Master and Margarita by Mikhail Bulgakov. It uses magical realism to make the commentary though, so if you're...

Ohhhh! Interesting. It would have been different. Probably just as disturbing, but in a different way. *thinks* One or more of the girls would have killed themselves. The others would have driven them to it. The violence would be more emotional than physical. Or am I just...

Bonjour Jaad, Essayez The Call of the Wild de Jack London. London a un style tres simple et direct. De plus, il n'utilise pas habitualement les dialectes regionales alors c'est facile pour quelqu'un qui veut apprendre l'anglais. J'espere que cela vous aidez. Mon francais n'est pas...

I love Harry Potter and man was I disappointed with this movie. Overacting Major omissions Huge departures from the book (like with The whole movie had a rushed feeling all the same though, and it skipped over so much that people who hadn't read the books probably would have a hard time...

I've been watching Survivor for only a few seasons but... for me this season is topping out as "most people telling complete (and sometimes unneccesary) lies." Does anyone else feel the same way?

Yeah something about Alla and Felicia raises my hackles. I get flashbacks to cliques in high school when I see them talking together.

Yeah, I was glad to see him go, too. Who's your favorite? I'm rooting for Randall and Rebecca now :D

I like the brathalyzer idea MUCH better than stopping vehicles with pink plates without probable cause. That really rubs me the wrong way.
