What movies do you go to with your bad girlfriend?
We tried to see "Coffee, Tea or Me", but we got kicked out.
What movies do you go to with your bad girlfriend?
same movie, dropped the mom, hiked up our skirts, stuffed our bras, sat way in the back, picked up boys, and spiked our cokes with sloe gin....
"Gone with the Wind" will always hold a special place in my heart. I read that book one summer in junior high school. Mom said it was a good book for me to read. It was the longest book I had read up to that point. Coincidentally, just as I finished the book, a movie house near by was showing the 1939 movie. Mom decided we needed to go see it. We left Dad home with the little kids and just Mom and I went. What a special memory that is.
My problem is I have places to be all weekend...so I'm only getting in small amounts of time to read. I can see three Baldacci's I need to read "next".
And I found an Andre Norton I hadn't heard of, two stories in one volume - The Forerunner Factor.
Thanks for the tip on Andre Norton. My kind of book. I love telepathic pets.
The only reason I haven't been reading science fiction lately, is that I pretty much have read them already.
I ordered a copy of this one from Abe Books. It's paperback and cost $8.50 including shipping. About the cost if I'd found in in a store.
The last time I was able to find any quality SF was online at Baen Free Library, but they rarely add new free ones, and I've read everything there that I was interested in.
However, that left me free to get into crime fiction that I'm really enjoying.
I just received a couple of Jeffrey Deaver books, and put aside my Baldacci for later, while starting one of JD's stories with Kathryn Dance, the kinesics expert (body language) as a main character.
This character was introduced in one of the Lincoln Rhyme books, and I found her character fascinating, so I found one of his books with her as a main character. I'm psyched!

I have never read it, but have seen the film
I am curious. Have any of you read any books in the far past that have stayed in your memory to this day? For me the first one was My Friend Flicka by M. O'Hara. That book turned me on to reading during my early school years. And the next one was Five Smooth Stones . A story of an interracial relationship during the fifties. The ending left me stunned. It goes into the 60's and the last sentence was the main character being shot at the same moment Kennedy was shot in Dallas and at that very same moment the interracial baby of his was born. That book has stayed in my mind all these years. There have been others, but not like these two.
I'm just about to finish Jeffrey Deaver's The Bodies Left Behind. (44 pages left)
I got the Andre Norton suggested by the Princess, and am excited to have that next.
Back to the Science Fiction/Fantasy again, I just ordered all of the Incarnations of Immortality. A 7 book series by Piers Anthony, a personal favorite of mine.
Abe Books had all of them available. I'll be ready when I finish the Andre Norton.
Not a bad score for 7 books for a total of less than $15.
If I'm not around much I'll have my nose stuck in a book!
