Dear Sir,Are you really going to read The European Economy Since 1945? Life is short.
Dave,Sorry I disappeared again, but I'm back. I've been reading lot's of good stuff. I'll be posting shortly. Gotta get these kiddos to bed!
The CrucifixionSunlight upon Judea's hills And on the waves of Galilee,On Jordan's streams and on the rills That feed the dead and sleeping sea;Most freshly from the green wood springsThe light breeze on its scented wings;And gaily quiver in the sunThe cedar-tops of Lebanon.A few more hours--a change hath come! The sky is dark without a cloud;The shouts of joy and wrath are dumb, And proud knees unto earth are bowed.A change is on the hill of death,The helmeted watchers pant for breath,And turn with wild and maniac eyesFrom the dark scene of sacrifice.That Sacrifice!--the death of Him, The high and ever Holy One!Well may the conscious heaven grow dim And blacken the beholding sun!The wonted light hath fled away,Night settles on the middle day,And Earthquake from his caverned bedIs waking with a thrill of dread. The dead are waking underneath! Their prison door is rent away!And, ghastly with the seal of death, They wander in the eye of day!The temple of the Cherubim,The House of God is cold and dim;A curse is on its trembling walls;Its mighty veil asunder falls!Well may the caverned depths of Earth Be shaken and her mountains nod;Well may the sheeted dead come forth To gaze upon a suffering God!Well may the temple-shrine grow dim,And shadows veil the Cherubim,When He, the chosen one of heaven,A sacrifice for guilt is given!And shall the sinful heart alone Behold unmoved the atoning hour,When Nature trembles on her throne' And Death reigns his iron power?Oh! shall the heart--whose sinfulness Gave keeness to His sore distress,And added to His tears of bloodRefuse its trembling gratitude? --John Greanleaf Whittier
I read Death of a Grown Up, that's a great one!
That George RR Martin writes some long books. Don't know if I can make it through them now.
Hi David, OOPs, sorry, you are right its hard to tell from the picture, but what a lovely and sweet looking baby! By the way, I had a look at your books and you have a heroic shelf with a huge variety of good books. I hope you will join usin the book of the months reading, The book for September is `Zeitoun', sounds like a good book to read. This has nothiing to so with the book, but In Cairo, Egypt there is a suburb called Zeitoun and it is quite famous because the Virgin Mary was supposed to have appeared there for a whole months. i went to visit the church and it was quite an experience for me, All the best, Silvana
Wow. No light reading on your shelf!
Yes! Paradise Lost is one of those elusive books that I've always wanted to read, but never got around to.

So far it's really a great read. The writing style is very vivid. I'm impressed. Though not looking forward to the heavier parts...
Very pleased to see a Mark Levin book in your shelf! Happy reading.
Hey there! I was laughing my tail off as I was posting that pic of me eating...it is a so-called "dirty water dog" purchased from a hot dog street vendor during our last trip to NYC. I asked Kate to take a pic of me shoveling one as far into my maw as possible. :) Sorry it's been a long time since I had the opportunity to check up on Shelfari. Been very busy. Work 7 days a week. You know how it is. I saw a Twilight Zone movie some years ago based upon the Sandkings, but would love to read the book. Have not yet read any of the others...thanks for the suggestions! I will add those to my list for sure. Jeremy loaned me all of his Robin Hobb books after I took an interest in his synopsis of the storyline. So many books, so little time!
Hey Dave, thanks for adding me as a friend. You are reading some very interesting stuff. I see we have a few books in common. Let's chat about them sometime.Peace.
