- Start date
I'm reading nothing that exciting or in depth. Actually, I'm reading two, or maybe is it three, books.
Orxy and Crake by Margaret Atwood, Quentins by Maeve Binchy and some god awful horror mystery that I keep picking up for some reason, but it's just not getting better.

Moghrabi, is your avatar a picture of you? It is supposed to be posted in the albums thread!
Thanks for the heads-up on this book, I'll see if I can find it.

Haggis, I thought you were going to bed!! You just might have important emailing, or posting, or something to do tomorrow!
I'm sure somebody will need to be nagged about getting photos up!

I AM going to bed, but you &*^&#*@^$#@ people won't stop posting long enough for me to make my escape! And yes, serious lectures will be in order tomorrow. Hey. In the world of nagging, I am on a roll.
Moghrabi, yes, I like that picture, is it you? The albums thread is Forum Albums, it is RIGHT THERE, and it wants a picture of you.
Good night! Again!

Hi! I am reading The Woman Warrior by Maxine Hong Kingston. Nice book, so far. Not so long for a change.
Ow and AV and others, I was suppose to start a book review threat, but I am currently very busy with my vacation job, so sorry. When I can find the time I will make a review.
The first will be about Orlando by Virginia Woolf.

Enjoy your summer job, Lisa. Relax, we're all pretty mellow here. Besides, if you put up a review, then I am obliged to report one. Right now, as I'm not currently reading anything, I'd have to fake one. Don't sweat it. When you get back to school, why you'll have plenty of time to lounge around, reading books for pleasure, eating sandwiches, go to bar and shoot some pool.
I am into Full Spectrum Disorder: The Military in the New American Century.
Stan Goff is a former Special Ops soldier - some fascinating little stories and insight.
I have just finished reading a few Oil Depletion, 9/11 books and at times these can get... well...
I need something to take me away for a few moments.
I have partly read Uther by Jack Whyte but I keep comparing it (and I shouldn't) to Mary Stewart's Merlin Trilogy +1 and it just doesn't grab my interest. No medieval novels compare to these. My all-time favourite read.
BUT, last night we watched The Bourne Identity. I thought it would be best to see this before the new Bourne Supremecy in theatres now.
I need a temporary break in topic so I may go back and re-read these. My favourite Ludlum novels.

yes. Very good. This one is all his New York Times articles. sixteen of them prior to 9/11 then after 9/11 till I think july 2003 and follows by his own addition of articles since he is limited to so many words per article. So he extends his thoughts in the last section.
Excellent book.
Excellent book.
I'll check it out.
For the most part, I like him-- though at times, I think he oversimplifies history.
THATS the part that scares me. History has factual, political, emotional, social and in many cases (e.g., mid east) aspects, that cant be reduced to purely logical cause and effect assumptions.
Thats half the problem in the region-- way too much oversimplification.

My other favourite storyteller is Jeffrey Archer. His novels that follow the life of a generation or two of a family (Kane & Abel, Prodigal Daughter, As the Crow Flies) are spellbinding and heartwrenching.
'gives one perspective on one's own life...
BTW, Bourne - great movie

Yeah I remember something. Prison? I didn't know. But he was a key Thatcher adviser.
Hmmm... Prison would give him time to write.
A google away... a summary of articles...
