Hmm let's see...oh the depths of me. I am a mom of 2, a wife, a photographer, and a dreamer, a tree hugger, and believe in being 100% authentic 100% of the time. I would love to be able to write like Ray Bradbury, but let's face it...there is only one Ray B. So I will settle for being a HUGE fan and reading anything and everything written by... more »

    Hi Denise,
    Thanks for inviting me. I haven't been on shelfari in a while. I've participated in some of the discussion threads and they are really cool subjects.
    Thanks.

    Hey Denise, I am only a few chapters in, but I can say it starts off with a bang! It is funny, but reading his work is like having someone sit down and tell you a story. I feel like I am home once again, listening to my favorite uncle's tales. I am hooked ;-)

    I'm glad you enjoyed it - one of my favorite Kings stories as well. Try reading his latest collection of short stories, all are "Classic" Stephen King.

    You'll enjoy 'The Stand,' I think it's King's better writings. Oh yeah, your Kermit is terrific. Speaking of Kermit, you need to read 'It's Hard Being Green.' You'll laugh, think and shed a few tears all at the same time. It's one of my treasured books my daughter gave to me a few years ago.

    Great! At the friends of the library used bookstore, we give free kids books to teachers in the area: one of our concerns is getting kids to read as young as possible. I am currently trying to raise the money for a writing contest for school kids. I hope to give the winners a lap-top computer.

    Hi Denise... :D
    Yes well Bradbury is a good way to start on Sci fi. His Fahrenheit 451 is one of the big ones, as well as 1984--orwell, and War of the Worlds & Time Machine --HG Wells, Dune--Herbert...and of course Stanger in a Strange Land. The thing about sci-fi is that when it is done good it is really good. Over on the Science Fiction group I posted a few links to some of these (full text) :D And I do have a link to some of Heinlein's.

    Yes, it is very sad what is going on in the world especially with the women. I feel the same as you, always have been interested in human nature. I think that is why I love biography books so much. If you ever get a chance read "The last American Man" a true story. What are you reading right now?

    It is a heavy book, Siddhartha, I read it 20 years ago and I am not sure if I really understood it or perhaps I wasn't ready for it.

    Sarah Cynthia Slyvia Stout Would Not Take The Garbage Out
    by Shel Silverstein

    Sarah Cynthia Sylvia Stout
    Would not take the garbage out!
    She'd scour the pots and scrape the pans,
    Candy the yams and spice the hams,
    And though her daddy would scream and shout,
    She simply would not take the garbage out.
    And so it piled up to the ceilings:
    Coffee grounds, potato peelings,
    Brown Bananas, rotten peas,
    Chunks of sour cottage cheese.
    It filled the can, it covered the floor,
    It cracked the window and blocked the door
    With bacon rinds and chicken bones,
    Drippy ends of ice cream cones,
    Prune pits, peach pits, orange peel,
    Gloppy glumps of cold oatmeal,
    Pizza crusts and withered greens,
    Soggy beans and tangerines,
    Crusts of black burned buttered toast,
    Grisly bits of beefy roasts...
    The garbage rolled down the hall,
    It raised the roof, it broke the wall...
    Greasy napkins, cookie crumbs,
    Globs of gooey bubble gum,
    Cellophane from green baloney,
    Rubbery blubbery macaroni,
    Peanut butter, caked and dry,
    Curdled milk and crusts of pie,
    Moldy melons, dried-up mustard,
    Eggshells mixed with lemon custard,
    Cold french fries and rancid meat,
    Yellow lumps of Cream of Wheat.
    At last the garbage reached so high
    That finally it touched the sky.
    And all the neighbors moved away,
    And none of her friends would come to play.
    And finally Sarah Cynthia Slylvia Stout said,
    "Ok, I'll take the garbage out!"
    But then, of course, it was too late...
    The garbage reached across the state,
    From New York to the Golden Gate.
    And there, in the garbage she did hate,
    Poor Sarah met an awful fate,
    That I cannot right now relate
    Because the hour is much too late.
    But children, remember Sarah Stout
    And always take the garbage out!

    I have met Beddor, and I just adore him, very nice and down to earth, and that is important to me to when I am picking books, (and selling them at work!) but I love seeing a classic in a new light!
