Wasn't Marley and Me great???!!!!!! :-))) It made me cry and laugh of hapiness.
I have been so impressed with Joan Anderson's A Walk on the Beach & A Year by the Sea. Fav is A Walk on the Beach. Loved the story and characters. Found outshe came out with a new book titled The Second Journey. Bought that and A Walk Across America. Have been wanting to read that forso long. Now Ingrid, you must know I have hundreds of books to read. Livingroom is filled with Non-fiction. Bedroom is Fiction. Are we nuts? I believe so-but who cares! Like you, I am disciplined in so many areas but not when it comesto books. Thank God I have a husband that never says a word...... He might shake his head but he doesn't say anything.. :) Ciao
Well, I dug around in my bedroom yesterday and found A Year in Provence.I knew I had it and of course, I started reading it and love it.I also went to see my son and stopped at B&N and bought 2 more books!!I have decided I am a very sick woman!! I can't control myself in a bookstore. :)Carol
Morning Ingrid,Browsing your shelf and found all kinds of good reads! I am reading at the moment Missing Mom by Joyce Carol Oates. Very good so far. How about you?Tell me a little about yourself when you get a chance. Nonna
Hi I just saw the book on your shelves about Adrenal Fatigue. Did you like it? Do you have it? And if yes did youget ideas to help you have more energy?Thanks
Just looked up the sulmmary about Playing for Pizza and I already want to start reading it!!!!
Hi! Thanks for the reply. I wouldn't have expected you had to read All quiet on the western front at school. I will check out the other one you mentioned.Lucky you! Going to Rome. I am sure going to go back there. the first time I was to overwhelmed of being there. You are going to cruise there! Which company? Can't wait to go abck to Italy myself. :-)
Me again :-)I was wondering after you read All quiet on te western front what you thought of it,how you felt and if the book was good.ps I love browsing through your shelves! :-))
Hi IngridI saw you read Under the wire (put it already on my whish list), but how is it?
another p.s.!!!I know you've read Christopher Moore. I just finished You Suck! I really thought it would have made a better comic book. Maybe it's not "my cup of tea" but what are your thoughts on his other books?
Check out Timothy Deary's books and the Horrible History books will be listed there. Thanks for the tip on the book about Denmark. I love books that tell something not widely known. My favorite teacher was an 8th grade History teacher everyone else hated and dreaded because she was soooo strict but she knew how to teach history. On the other hand my 11 year old had a teacher in 3rd grade who I had to prove George Washington's teeth weren't made of wood!!!! I know we live in Kentucky but the boys go to a pretty progressive school!!! How old is your son?
p.s. Have you ever seen the "Horrible History" books? They are more for kids but they are a hoot and still full of facts that make it fun to learn.
Yay! That's the kind of info I was looking for! Thanks so much.
Hi,What did you think of How the Irish Saved Civilization? I noticed it for the first time and thought it looked interesting.Becky
Hello, finished the book and I loved it. Of course it has detective and Italy as main subjects, so not much possibilty to get it wrong for me! I love books by Robert Harris, Last week I finished Pompeii and thought it was great. Also read archangel which was good too. Thanks for recommending Robert Graves. Haven't heard about him yet, but going to look it up. Now Maya and My life by Bill Clinton but have a feeling that I am gonna start another one today.By the way, from where are you?:-)
Hi IngridWhich Steven Saylor book did you read? What did you think about it? The one I am reading now is almost finsihed and it gets really exciting, well for me it does. I enjoyed it a lot for now.
Hi IngridIt is true, Bruges is a nice palce. By car I live about 30 minutes from it but don't go often. Want to go one day and discover it, not jsut seeing shops but go in the tower on the market place and see historical buildings, go to museums, ...Belgian chocolate is delicious!!!!!! And it isn't only me who says it is the best in the world! :-)))
Hi there,At the moment I am living in Belgium but when I amliving abroad I am almost always in Italy with my boyfriend. He is from the region Emilia-Romagna, near the Tuscan border. I lived a year in the North of Italy, which was for now the best year of my life. I am in the north of Belgium for six months, near Bruges and Ostend. For the last 3 years I was living and working in England and for now I am jsut waiting till it is July. Where in Belgium did you go?
Hi Ingrid, I saw you have a couple of books on your shelves written by Steven Saylor. Do you know if they have to be read in a certain order or not?Looking at your books, you seem to like travelling or am I wrong? :-)
I finished Shantaram and as it turns out he's writing a sequel but there is no eta given. I did really enjoy the book and noticed one of his favorite epic novels is The Alexandria Quartet which you've read. Did you like the books?
