    Hi, loved many books in your shelf. I am new with Shelfari and haven't had much time to read. Hope to be friends with someone like you for inspiration.

    Interesting. I just started reading it, because I had to do a project on the massacre. Have you read any other good Vietnam books?

    Hey! Saw your review of the book about the My Lai massacre, Four Hours in My Lai. Does the book go in detail about the outfall of the exposure? And how much does it discuss journalism's role in exposing it?

    Hi Ruth! Thanks for the friend request and the suggestion! Chasing Brooklyn sounds SO good. It's on the top of my to-buys list. :D

    Thanks much for the book recommendation. I like recommendations since I have little time to read these days. I'll go look up the information about Sarah's Key.

    Have a wonderful weekend, Keta

    Yeah, a couple times.
    I really like Sylvia Plath, but she's not exactly... light reading material.

    Hi Ruth, thanks so much for the connection. I'm looking at your bookshelf and wondering if you liked Madapple? What is the one book you liked most of all? I'm not much of a contemporary person; like paranormal and historical. Can you recommend?

    Best, Keta

    The Ancient One says

    May Angels Rest Beside Your Door

    May angels rest beside your door,
    May you hear their voices sing.
    May you feel their loving care for you,
    May you hear their peace bells ring.
    May angels always care for you,
    And not let you trip and fall,
    May they bear you up on angel's wings,
    May they keep you standing tall.
    May they whisper wisdom in your ear,
    May they touch you when you need,
    May they remove from you each trace of fear,
    May they keep you from feeling greed.
    May they fill you with their presence,
    May they show you love untold,
    May they always stand beside you
    And make you ever bold.
    May they teach you what you need to know
    About life here and here-after.
    May they fill you always with their love
    And give you the gift of laughter.
