Hi luinien! Welcome to the Minneapolis-St.Paul-Minnesota group :-) I'm one of the group admins and just wanted to let you know that we are currently taking nominations for September/October group reads for the Minneapolis-St.Paul-Minnesota group .The books nominated don't have to be by Minnesota authors or have Minnesota ties, but that is preferable. Feel free to nominate any genre and type of book, as long as you think it is interesting and relevant to this group. Nominations will remain open for at least one more week, at which time I will close nominations and we will vote.There is also a separate thread to discuss how the group want to proceed with group reads in general. Whether or not to do them. How often, etc. Your input on this subject would be very much appreciated also!Doughgirl / Lynne

a good book for your age group is River Cross My Heart- it was part of the Oprah book club.

I guess long responses aren't too great...they get cut off! Anyway, James Herriott is great to read for funny and touching animal stories. There are even some about cats. All Creatures Great and Small would be my first choice. Rebecca, by Daphne Du Maurier is a great suspence novel. I noticed you read Stephen King. Du Maurier is also a master of atmosphere, though not as scary or supernatural as King. More like unsettling. She also wrote The Birds, which if you haven't read, you're in for a treat. 100 times better than the movie. Enjoy!
Thanks for the note, I'm horrible at spelling, so I probably wouldn't notice if anything was wrong :) I've used the dictionary more since I've been on this site than ever, trying not to sound or look unliterate, but sometimes I am lazy and don't bother.Last night I tried to take a picture of my Siamese (Stormy) cat terrorizing our gnome village, but it didn't turn out.I'm not known for my short answers, and you did ask a question, so here goes...As an English teacher, I would recommend A Tale of Two Cities, probably my favorite classic, however, if you like very long books, Les Miserables is becomming my favorite. If I ever get it finished. It's just hard to be patient with Victor Hugo's sideline topics from the story. They are interesting though if you persevere.As a woman, I would read A Gift From the Sea by Anne Morrow Lindberg (not sure about that spelling), it is great for thinking about stuff, though I don't agree with everything she says.As an animal lover, if you need a good l
I spotted your kitty and had to stop by and say, "Hi". I haven't explored your shelves yet, but I really like the books we have in common.

My cat is attacking the camera...her arms aren't in the shot, though. And I have the same problem as you; the urge to turn my head! LOL!!! She loves to play on her back for some odd reason. :) I absolutely love Ishmael!!! One of my favorites, also.
I absolutely LOVE your pic! It's adorable!!!
