Melba your taste is exquisite, I love Swift!  What's your favorite "world' in the Travels?  I like Brobdingnag.  Or maybe the floating gyroscopic-magnetic city island.

GEEK ALERT.  I am currently reading "The Descent of Man and Selection in Relation to Sex" by Charles Darwin.

Hey, it's okay if it says SEX in the title right?   :D

I loved The Godfather. Couldn't put it down. It's interesting that the author, Mario Puzo didn't like the book himself:

Don't read much fiction anymore. Mostly the business sections of the Post and Globe.

Hey Diesel......You would dig Chuck Palahniuk (Fight Club) I bet.

I think I have found my true, activist soul mate.

I am currently reading "Crimes Against Nature" by Robert Kennedy Jr.

He has a show on Air America radio called "Ring of Fire" on Saturdays. They invite listeners to send in show topic ideas. I suggested that he should do a show about the Niagara River.

If you would like to see Junior in action on The Daily show with Jon Stewart.....Click this link:

I love thrillers. I'm reading a book called Deja Dead by Kathy Rictes. It's like CSI but a little more gory :?

last book i read was shake hands with the devil by a true canadian hero, romeo dallaire (too bad he's a liberal senator now). however, since i am now working on my third manuscript for a novel, i have placed myself under a fictional literature moratorium. that's so i don't cross promote someone else's ideas.

I just love books by:
Steven King
Joy Fielding
Kathy Reichs

Right now I am trying to read a book on Total Scrapbooking (my new passion).
The last book that I read was "Eyewitness" by Mark Johnstone, a fiction story about a bank heist on Vancouver Island.  Great story!

"Eyewitness" by Mark Johnstone , cool I'll have to look for that one. I love locally set fiction !
Have you read any books by William Deverell ? He's a Vancouver lawyer/author , a cool guy (and a friend of my dads) , who has written many locally set novels (and TV shows).

Dude, that hit home with me. I grew up in the second poorest county in the state of Indiana and there was a very poor family that lived up the road from us who bathed in the creek that seperated our properties. :shock: :o :?

I just read this:


There were two nuns..

One of them was known as Sister Mathematical (SM),

and the other one was known as Sister Logical (SL).

It is getting dark and they are still far away from the convent.

SM: Have you noticed that a man has been following us for
The past thirty-eight and a half minutes? I wonder what he wants.

SL: It's logical. He wants to rape us.

SM: Oh, no! At this rate he will reach us in 15 minutes
at the most! What can we do?

SL: The only logical thing to do of course is to walk faster.

SM: It's not working.
SL: Of course it's not working. The man did the only
logical thing. He started to walk faster, too.
SM: So, what shall we do? At this rate he will reach us in one
minute.
SL: The only logical thing we can do is split. You go that way and
I'll go this way. He cannot follow us both.

So the man decided to follow Sister Logical.

Sister Mathematical arrives at the convent and is
worried about what has happened to Sister Logical.

Then Sister Logical arrives.

SM: Sister Logical! Thank God you are here!
Tell me what happened!
SL: The only logical thing happened.
The man couldn't follow us both, so he followed me

SM: Yes, yes! But what happened then?

SL: The only logical thing happened. I started to run
as fast as I could and he started to run as fast as he could.

SM: And?

SL: The only logical thing happened. He reached me.

SM: Oh, dear! What did you do?

SL: The only logical thing to do.
I lifted my dress up.

SM: Oh, Sister! What did the man do?

SL: The only logical thing to do.
He pulled down his pants.
SM: Oh, no! What happened then?
SL: Isn't it logical, Sister?
A nun with her dress up can run faster than a man
with his pants down.

And for those of you who thought it would be dirty,

Say two Hail Marys!

I received Stephen King's Salem's Lot (Illustrated Edition) in the mail yesterday. It's the 30th anniversary edition of the release of the book. It includes fifty pages of alternate and deleted scenes. With a new introduction by the author, two short stories related to the events and residentes of Jerusalem's Lot. Simular to what they did with The Stand about 15 years ago. Since it's been close to 20 years since I have read Salem's Lot, I think I will give it a read.

Have you gone through the Dark Tower series? I'm waiting for the last book, I had to reread one then "Song of Suzanna" but I am all tingly waiting to see what happens in the last one... I personally think Stephen King has gone a bit more spriitual since he got hit by the truck, all honesty I don't blame him.

I've read all of the Dark Tower series. The last book should be out in trade paperback (the slightly larger size than pocket book) this month (it may even already have been released). Song of Susannah had a very different feel for me than the other books & I didn't like it as much, but the final book is much more like the others. I think my favourite of the newer books is Wolves of the Calla, of the older books The Wastelands, & Wizard & Glass are tied.

Tallulah, I know you asked me this a while ago, but my favourite part of Gulliver's Travels is when he goes to the land of the Houyhnhnms. I like it so much because of some of the implications of what Gulliver does while there; he kills Yahoos (which are a degenerate form of human beings) to use their skins for things like lining his canoe & making a sail.
