Well said
I agree completely.
I am Daenerys Stormborn and I will take what is mine. With fire and blood.

I'm still reading FEAR AND LOATHING and still absolutely loving this book.

at last finished Lisey's Story

Ask not what bears can do for you, but what you can do for bears. (razz)
When one is in agreement with bears one is always correct. (mae)
bears are back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm listening to "Next" by Criton (Jurassic park guy, I know its spelled wrong)
Its boring as hell.
I have Brother Odd next up in the CD shoot
The kindness of close friends is like a warm blanket
New additions to my personal library, picked them up at Borders today : Catch-22, Good Omens [written by Neil Gaiman and Matt Pratchett - it follows the story of an angel and a demon in a sort of parody of a hypothetical apocalpype which neither want to take a part of. Oh yeah, and the antichrist goes missing Any Downside? nah], and the first book of the Song of Ice and Fire series, A Game of Thrones.
Looks like I have my work cut out for me
Good book, sooo funny.
I'm rereading the golden compass to see what all the anti-christian hype is about. I didn't get that impression at all the first time I read it years ago...but supposedly Philip Pullman has publicly announced that its anti-christian and that its anti-christian on purpose.
rereading IT i love it
I finished Perfume: A Story of a Murderer last night. A fantastic book, I recommend it to anyone. Today at work I started a re-read of Skeleton Crew in preparation for the upcoming The Mist release.
I am Daenerys Stormborn and I will take what is mine. With fire and blood.
Yes, CATCH-22 is an excellent book!
I thought Pullman said that THE GOLDEN COMPASS wasn't just anti-Christian but anti-every-religion because he's an atheist. I'm not bothering to doublecheck my sources though. I haven't read it, but I may see the movie.
Anyway, I finished FEAR AND LOATHING. I look forward to reading it again sometime, it is such a funny book.
Just started LOLITA by Vladimir Nabokov.

Let me know how Lolita is Patrick. I've always wanted to read it.

There's one hole in every revolution, large or small. And it's one word long.. people. No matter how big the idea they all stand under, people are small and weak and cheap and frightened. It's people that kill every revolution.

And if you have finished Lolita let me know what you think of it. It would be good to know that I am not the only one (around me) who liked it.
Roland would have understood.
I'm curious about Lolita, too.
I'm currently reading "Saving the World" by Julia Alvarez and "The Kite Runner" by Khaled Hosseini. Both are very good so far.
The rose speaks of love silently, in a language known only to the heart.
Just finished The Bachman Books and am now on a reread of Bag of Bones.

I'm reading Blaze and wishing that I could have adopted him from HH
Good Omens is bloody brilliant Feev. A friend of mine is an RE (religious education) teacher and very christian. Whenever we write to each other he writes to me as Crawley and signs off as Aziraphale and vice versa
I read Lolita twice - once when I was much younger, and found it boring. Then again much more recently and found it more interesting, but Humbert annoyed rather than disgusted me.
