Ideoform Mssg 50 I'm sorry I mentioned It now as I'm sure everybody else Is. It obviously went In one ear and out the other , as, proved In another page-full of self indulgence. .If you want to rattle on endlessly and kill threads by listing God knows how many Items then go ahead. Be my guest and bore everybody rigid.. Only next time , I would rather you didn't use half my profile in doing so.
OT.
Stephen Kings 'It' Put me off clowns for life
Yes, Stephen King is still very much the Daddy where terror /horror Is concerned. I think I remember sleeping with the lights on for a month after reading Saloms Lot for the first time ..... | |

| Books that changed you... Posted: 6/21/2008 1:13:35 AM | It has to be 'The Guide to Getting It On' by Paul Joannides. The title says it all, and coming out of a 16 year marriage, it was exactly what I needed!  | |

| Books that changed you... Posted: 6/21/2008 3:42:47 AM | I have never really read a book that changed me, the occasional one gives me a kick up the ass.
the latest one, Before i die by Jenny Downham.
16 year old girl dying of cancer. Reminds you how lucky you are to be alive and how you need to make everything count, being thankful and making the most of being here is something we forget when the drudgery of life starts to eat at us. | |

|
| Books that changed you... Posted: 6/21/2008 12:11:45 PM | Illusions by Richard Bach - I still find myself quoting from it :) The Women's Room by Marilyn French - really opened my eyes! Her later books are more conciliatory and approachable but that one is pretty tough reading. | |

| Books that changed you... Posted: 7/11/2008 8:35:05 AM | | The Road Of Lost Innocence by Somaly Mam. It made me realize how incredibly fortunate I am to have been born to a loving family in a comfortable home in a civilised Western society where girls have the right to education, and to choose career and husband. I am a wealthy (in terms of freedom) woman with much to be grateful for. | |
