I know, I know, they're not mainstream yet but I think they could be. I've been following them since they appeared on the NBC Sing Off competition back in 2011 and won it. They have a lot going for them. For one thing they seem to be a good clean-cut group of kids. Personally I'm sick of all the...

I only looked at this video because it mentions Pentatonix (my favorite group) but this thing blew my socks off. If anyone finds a pair of blue and green argyles they're mine. This song is 100% a'capela - very hard to believe. Every sound you hear was created by the human voice. This is a...

Dear S.R.G., The Spellman books are fun - not great literature I must warn you - but just good, clean fun; a nice palate cleanser between heavier courses of literature. Candide, a hilarious novel, was written by Voltaire as a rebuttal to the philosopher Gottfried Leibniz's position that we...

The Bone Clocks by David Mitchell ????¿¿¿¿

SuperReaderGirl, Have you read any of the comedic Spellman Files books by Lisa Lutz? I think you might like them. Check them out on Amazon. I think you can read a few pages there as a sampler. If you haven't read any of them yet and decide to try one out I'd recommend The Curse Of The Spellmans...

I think I may have mentioned this to Sparkchaser at some time in the past but thought I'd post it here for anyone else who may be interested. The following links are to a website which presents the actual day-to-day memoirs of two flying aces of WW I - Eddie Rickenbacker (American), and Manfred...

Reading A Prayer For Owen Meany, by John Irving for the first time and loving it. I had not seen the movie, Simon Birch which is based upon this novel, nor have I engaged in any discussions regarding this book so the entire story is new to me. I am about half-way through it as I submit this...

Thank you so much Occlith. I had a very interesting experience when I, myself was seven years old relating to the subject of werewolves and as a result the werewolf has always been my favorite subject of horror tales. I've always wanted to write a story on this subject but never quite found the...

Werewolf by DATo Late upon a rainy, winter evening in 1874, in keeping with their weekly custom, a group of eleven distinguished friends were gathered at the Junior Carlton Club for gentlemen at 30 Pall Mall, London. Numbered among them was a former lieutenant of calvary, now a retired...

GREETINGS ROXY !!! I don't think of it in terms of the right team or the wrong team. I would be happy to participate with anyone willing to have me as a coauthor. The problem is that I thought this was just going to be a small project that would be conducted here, but after seeing the extent of...

One of my favorite moments in literature. Dr. Mortimer : "But one false statement was made by Barrymore at the inquest. He said that there were no traces upon the ground round the body. He did not observe any. But I did—some little distance off, but fresh and clear." Holmes : "Footprints?"...

Peder - Just wondering how you liked Daniel Deronda. George Eliot (Mary Ann Evans) is considered one of the finest writers in the English language and I fully concur with that assessment. I consider the final paragraph of Middlemarch as one of the most beautiful things I have ever read. Her...

The Hunger Games: Catching Fire for me too. Just saw it for the first time last night on DVD. It was very faithful to the book, as was the first movie, which is a major plus for my recommendation. I swore I wasn't going to see this film till the two Mockingjay movies were out so I could see the...

Currently reading two books for the second time - Three Men In A Boat by Jerome k. Jerome at work, during lunch breaks, and The Hunger Games: Catching Fire by Suzanne Collins at home. Ignore the Bitter Brew entry in my profile .... I'm too lazy right now to change it *L*

SLEEPY, Now THAT is one hell of hat!!! I can just imagine myself bringing that girl home to meet mom ..... "Mother dearest, I'd like you to meet my betrothed. You're just not going to believe all the little creatures she has living in her hair!" Knowing my mom she'd prolly spray her with Lysol...

A new hat ...... and the unfounded suspicion that I am being stalked by a taxidermist each time I leave home.

What's up doc? *LOL* Been waiting all my life to say that to a real doctor *LOL* WELCOME CHERRY !!!! Make yourself at home and join the fun.

Gita - Yes, but by not telling us I think he is actually telling us that they did *L* It truly is a wonderful little book. This is my second reading and I am very surprised to discover how much I had forgotten. I suppose that is a good thing because I get to experience it again for the first...
