Chris! Long time, no hear. So glad to hear from you and I hope all is going well with you. I'm doing fine. I'm about 1/3 into The American Wife and it's good so far, but I understand the last half is draggy. It's loosely based on Laura Bush's life, and some of the events are pretty shocking, so I need to check it out and see if it's all supposed to have happened.I have also not been in the new CHS and have no word on how things are going. I know that all the counselors are new, the registrar is new, the principal is new and, of course, the building is new. So guess it's a "fresh start" for everyone, huh? Pat Galloway retired but is backing working full-time, I hear, so she can train the new counselors. Guess she's the most experienced one around.Take care, hope you are having a good school year and stay in touch!
Hey, thanks! Hope you don't think I was a weirdo! Enjoy Interworld, I did!
Hi Chris,My daughter, Laura, got me to list here and then felt sorry that I had no friends, so I did the search and saw you were listed. No surprise! Hope everyone is doing well! Send me an email giving me updates!
Was Old Man's War good? I've read about it, but debating on whether to read it.
Summoning Professor Peach. . .
Where is GE, USA? Have to go there sometime.
hey chris! love your cool new icon!
hey chris! yeah The Dangerous Book for Boys looks cool! i'm going to get it..bet jim & mike & david would love it too..thanks! btw, i went to shelfari the other day it was down..i thought that was the end of shelfari..good to see it's still up!
hey, chris! we should go see this movie if it's really about wilbur robinson. . .
Just finished On A Pale Horse. I liked it so much I went out and bought Book 2. What a great concept. It only took me about 15 years to read it since you recommended it to me. Now about that Cowboy wally...
I just bought On a Pale Horse today. I remember you used to always try to get me to read it. I'll let you know what I think.
Did you actually read Cowboy Wally, or are you just humoring me? After 20 years of hype, was it all worth it?
Hey Chris, I read the book about 7 years ago (I tried but failed to limitmy shelf to books read no longer than 5 years ago), so my memory of itisn't fresh, but for me it lived up to James Lee Burke's reputation as anexcellent writer. The book reveals the extent of Louisianna's mafiaunderbelly; the subplot of the Confederate ghosts is done well..it fitsinto the overall structure and adds more depth to the things happening inpresent time. Burke's characters are complex and flawed and memorable.It's a very good & entertaining novel & you can get a good used one fromAmazon for 1 cent, or a like new one for 2 or 3 bucks. I'd recommend James Lee Burke's novels anytime, maybe not every one, but certainly most!
anyone for starting up a shelfari 12 step program?
Hey Chris, I can see how you could become obsessed with it! I love it. I'll add Monica...do I invite her or is their another way? I also found a girl who has 7 of my alltime favorites at the top of her list. Wahoo!
This is so cool! Six of the books on your list would be on my list. That means I really want to read the rest of these! Thanks!
