You crack me up. My first solo in church was, Love in any Language. In all honesty I love the music taste my mother passed on to me and she is one of my favorite artists. To this day when I'm asked to sing in church I will pickk one of her songs. Her voice is as peaceful and soothing as a midsummer night sky...
AAAHHH... |

It's about a husband and wife, Jamie and Claire. It involves some romance (but not bodice ripping); a lot of historical references (Bonny Prince Charlie and the revolt) and the fallout from that unfortunate event. I'm afraid I might scare you off when I mention time travel - but it is well done and not hokey, IMO.
There are 5 books now (I think) in the series and I have enjoyed each of them tremendously. They are long - about 800 pages each, but they don't feel drawn out to me. The weirdest thing is that she wrote these characters so well they feel like real people to me. |

Some books that helped me grow up: I learned to appreciate the large book with "War and Peace"; then several by Fyodor Dostoevsky, "The Brothers Karamazov", "The Possessed", and "Crime and Punishment". My 'finishing school' was "The Fountainhead" and "Atlas Shrugged". I've never spent a lot of time reading novels, but I read "Gone With The Wind" a year or so ago, and it is much better than the movie.
Maybe someone could start a thread in Relationships like "Songs We Listen To", and call it "Books We Read" that would focus on breaking up, reconciliation, etc. |

I kind of like my idea for a series based on famous works of art and sculpture... (how about "DaVinci Doodled"? )
Seriously though, I've a list of books to get this weekend! Not sure if it will be a Godiva/fluff weekend, a Pillars of the Earth weekend, or a 7 Habits of Highly Effective People/Franklin Covey/self-worth weekend! :) |

Let's look at the good news to what we have created. 173 people have viewed these posts and have probably gotten their reading done for a week. Add that to the fact that these posts are quite amusing so we have probably also generated a laugh or two, if nothing else I'm sure a smile. Then there will be the ones that read this, scratched their heads, and counted their lucky stars they have a life. The last set were the few knight and shining armors left, that are thinking where in there world are these damsel in distress?
We've helped mankind in some small way. The book club does it again... All without Oprah or Dr. Phil's help, imagine that. |

All right, here's the situation - my ex-girlfriend calls me a few weeks ago, and tells me that she's pregnant. Of course, this is not a situation I'm immediately comfortable with, but it's not because I'm not one to run from a responsibility. See, I'm not going to be here, I'm actually going OUT...
