    Letting you know I came by... I havent yet read "The colour purple" and "Love in the time of cholera" But I watched both movies and they are Good, in terms of looking at the human condition.

    Yes, that was a silly question to ask for a specific answer to. But I still bet you read 10 or 12 times as fast as I do. I try to concentrate more now than I use to.

    Nice pix of HRP here on Shelfari-a-roni! :O)

    How many days does it take you to read, say, a 400 page book?

    Happy reading.

    Cheers,

    I found out that "Now I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings" is part of a three or four book series. I only read the first one.

    Why was I not informed of purple colors, HRP? Just started, "Now I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings" by Maya Angelou. What a writer. Have you read?

    Hi Shailaja! How are you doing? I hope that you had a nice weekend. I didn't have a working modem for 5-6 days and that brought my internet computerrrring to a screeeeeeching halt, but I did get into some photograph editing. My reading is revolving around "Of Human Bon..." and "The Shaping of America" (about America after our revolutionary war against Great Britain), but I have been book reading less in general and resting my eyes more.

    Have a great day/evening, Shailaja!

    WHen I tried to submit this with the complete title of W. Somerset Maugham's book "Of Human Bon....." I got a message telling me that "bon...." was a banned word and I couldn't submit it.

    Well pardon me :)))))

    Hi Shail,

    When I had my third eye operation in 1978, Chris and I met a family of fathe, mom, and two sons. The 12-year old son and I shared eyes from the same donor. We got to visit with them severaal times over the next several months and when we said goodbye to each other, we exchanged gifts. They gave us "The Prophet" and wrote in it that it had been a very comfortable book for them and that they hoped that we would find comfort in it too.

    Very nive people. We never saw them again since 30 years ago. Hard to realize my surgery companion would be 42 years old now. :))))

    Sorry I didn't ID myself earlier, Shail. Enjoy your weekend.

    I am tired. I think that Jimi the energy dynamo tires me out at times. The other day when he and I arrived at home, I was unlocking the front door. While leaning against the wall of the house, he saud, "Grandpa, my energy is gone." I replied, "what happened?," and he said, "My energy turned off."

    I know the feeling, grandson of mine, I know the feeling.
