That's certainly a useful acquisition. Drive a SUV, too? Darla Sacred cows make great hamburgers. |

Great Idea Mirjam! I have also been noting different books that others have
been mentioning here. Like I said - I LOVE to read - I just never to know WHAT to read - KWIM? I am always up for suggestions! Sarah "Mirjam Bruck-Cohen" wrote in message ... Sarah, i do not know what you study , but probably your studies have some book lists that would add to your subject. As much as i appreciate , book lists given by Tv personalities like Oprah, if you are such a strong wiled person , why not go to your public library and discuss your interests with one of the librarians , she / he might give you a list of books , either classical , professional , or contemporary that will fit your needs or appetite for reading. The maker of such list might give you a more ballanced list and knowing what you have already explored , might show you new roads, than sticking to a list More general for all likle the Tv personality`s list. You might of course also go to the libraray index catalog and sort out books by subjects. I would advice you to widen your reading , sideways, meaning if you read a novel about a period , why not add at least one History book that deals with that period. Or some other realated Literature, this will really widen your horizon. Remeber the wonderful expression ,`She is reading for a degree in .....` best of luck mirjam [ex librarian ] I stuck up for myself! Actually my reading interests vary - I LOVE reading but since most of my friends don't have any of the same interests that I do - I have to go on other's advice I have gone through 8 of Oprah's titles so far. Right now I am about 2/3rds thru "The Corrections" by Johnathon Franzen. Next on my list is "Mother of Pearl" by Melinda Haynes My goal is to get thru her old list of books by the end of the summer. Like I mentioned before - I'm a strong willed person Sarah |

Oh - you're still there ~
Sarah "Caryn" wrote in message ... well then she must have unsubbed - cause she was there when I posted the original note. No, sorry, have definately not unsubbed. If I am not on the list it is because I was removed by others. BTW, if Mindy refers to me in the weedpatch again, please ask her to remember I'm Caryn not Karen!

Don`t say "shared" where MLI can read it, Meredith - you`ll likely end up
being sued! ROFLMAO! Pat P "Meredith" wrote in message ... I don't understand why wanting information isn't a legitimate purpose. Just because someone doesn't like all of her works doesn't mean that they don't like some and that they can't gain from participating in the group. Meredith sunflower wrote: you misunderstood my statement completely!!! I meant that if you weren't interested in the group for any ligitimate purpose, why be a member? If you are there to learn and share then great! I look forward to reading your posts. Sarah "Tere" wrote in message ... WTF? I never said people spied in the group. I said they SHARED. One of her reasons for setting up the group, as I recall, hum, let me look . . . Better than other groups because my messages will stay for a long time and you can go back and reread the beans I have spilled! Yes. You get information from there first. What good is information if it can't be shared? I read about this angel coming for what seemed MONTHS . . . and was incredibly disappointed it is another rerun. But I'm not spying. Hoping is a good word, that eventually she'll do another good piece of work, one that I can buy and be proud to have. But not in six years, at least. "sunflower" wrote in message ... That's even sadder - what is the purpose of that? To be a member of a group you have no use for - JUST to spy? Sarah "madeupagin" wrote in message ... "HeyPaula21" wrote in message ... You'd be surprised at how many of the faithful are willing to share outside the group. uh - and I apologized - so if you were banned how would you know that? Yes, I do suspect she would be surprised!

A lot of my neighbors where I live are over 80; heck, Florida is Senior
Citizen haven!! Many of them hold hands so that: 1. They don't lose their spouse, who may wander off, or 2. One holds the other up!! LOL but true! Gillian "sunflower" wrote in message ... I realized that *VBG* thanks Dianne Sarah (stitching on Blossom Harvest - it's SOOOO pretty, but darn expensive!!! I love the treasures though "Dianne Lewandowski" wrote in message ...

"Stitch Lady" wrote in message ... wrote in message ... In fact, because of the two things one connects with a vagina, penetration and delivery of a baby, I would have thought that a vagina might quite regularly come up as conversation between women. Just a thought - between women. Of course the men here may want to penetrate this topic with a comment or two of their own. VBG Stitch Lady I was just going to comment that they`ve all kept a very low profile lately! Hope we haven`t scared them off - hey Fred, Jim, Brian - we`re quite harmless really - only having a laugh and acting like kids! " Don`t be fright" as that comedian used to say, whose name I can`t remember). Personally I put it down to the heat - full moon is long gone. Pat P |

I'm always so amazed at the speed he reads a thousand page book. It doesn't
matter what the topic. He has a great mind. To coin a phrase in "A Beautiful Mind, "You are the reason, ou are all my reasons." That's how I feel about my husband. I also relate deeply to Bridges of Madison County. It's that kind of love we share. He's my Robert Kincaid, which is the part his favorite actor played, Clint Eastwood. Sorry, I just woke up and I am usually very swooning in the morning about my life! V On Mon, 21 Jul 2003 16:45:13 -0400, Meredith wrote: I sure can't do that! It helps that I now have the right glasses prescription, though. My physics textbooks usually took 20-30 minutes/page. I should have stated "light reading", not for something that actually matters. Meredith animaux wrote: My husband. He not only reads at an amazing rate, he can take a book on Microsoft XP Pro, with what, a thousand or more pages of nothing but technical jargon and read and comprehend it in a few days. I read very slowly. I know, no matter what point in my life, young or where I am today at 47, I could never be a mother to a toddler, go to school full time, take care of my home and child, work at a business, stitch, go online for many hours AND read five books a week. Even if they were only an inch thick. Have you ever read anything written by The Dalai Lama? A half inch book could take me a month to read. I have to read each page so many times before I get a slight glean of what he teaches. I found that sort of reading profound. I also read novels. I'm not on a reading jag right now.

Begs the question "when has she got time for that soul mate of a husband of hers". She must: a) either have invented a time machine so she spend each time three times in a row... or b) be living in a universe where time only traverses a third of the speed that it is going for everyone else... Stitch Lady She also reads 5-6 novels a week. |
