What's Everyone Reading?

[karrie]

Just finished this one. It was an incredible book. It follows the lead character through her rehabilitation from a crippling brain injury, the results of which leave her completely unaware of 'the left'. The left side of her body, the left side of her room, the left side of her plate... they simply no longer exist. A unique condition called 'Left Neglect', it is something occupational therapists in brain rehabilitation centres actually have to deal with. I'd recommend this book to just about anyone.

And still have time to aggravate liberals on Canadian Content.

Ain't I great?

It's not just liberals you annoy, Sir Yukonjack.

Thank you, DurkaDurka, I need all the encouragement I can get. What would my life be without the approval of liberals and non-liberals?

''To make a conservative angry, tell him lies''

The Fox network sure are experts at that.

Ah yes, but that is because conservatives are not very good at understanding the truth.

I just finished reading Stephen King's Under the Dome, a whopping 1074 pages. The fictional town of Chester Mills is in, you guessed it, the state of Maine, and if you've read anything, by SK you'll fully appreciate that almost all of his stories and novels are usually set in the maritime state. The story opens on what will be known as Dome Day. In it an airplane will crash into an invisible barrier and a woodchuck will be cut in half as a force field envelopes the little town of Chester Mills and its occupants.


Very cool book!
