Posted: 11/15/2005 10:09:18 AM | Thanks Rflagg - Im definitely going to look into Padre Pio... being Italian I would be drawn to it even moreso. Im going to check into "Fingerprints of the Gods" - I was a total archeology geek way back, taking courses, etc. so this looks like an interesting read!
I appreciate it! | |

Posted: 11/15/2005 1:48:28 PM | Chasing Che by Patrick Symns, in which the author recreates the motorcycle trip around South America taken by Che Guevara in the early '50s, that was immortalized recently in the film Motorcycle Diaries (which is a great flick, too).
And also reading:
White Teeth by Zadie Smith about a few oddball Londoners, in a story that spans about four decades. I've had it on my shelf for going on five years and now can't believe I waited so long. Really good.
One of my favourite books of recent months was The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time by Mark Haddon Smith, I think it is. Great tale through the eyes of a 15-year-old Autistic kid trying to solve the murder of his next-door neighbour's dog. | |

Posted: 11/17/2005 11:42:20 AM | Ah Photoshop... I tried to read my manual too but gave up, so, I took a 5 evening course on digital photography... the last 3 classes were on Photoshop and were great! considering how much I paid for the manual, the course was a bargain 'cause I learned tons!
As for what I'm reading... just finished the latest Outlander book, "A Breath of Snow and Ashes"... or something like that... fabulous as usual, but I could tell her editor had a time keeping her to a page and subplot limit! ...
Currently re-reading What Could He Be Thinking? (Michael Gurian)... an absolute MUST READ for every woman out there... REALLY :) :) :) | |

I just read The Time Machine, hg wells. Cute short read. Definitely not going to be a fave, but it was nice to finally have read that classic.
Next, I bought Margret Atwood's brand spankin' new book last week, as in released this month: The Year of the Flood.
Amazon.com Review
Book Description
The long-awaited new novel from Margaret Atwood. The Year of the Flood is a dystopic masterpiece and a testament to her visionary power.
The times and species have been changing at a rapid rate, and the social compact is wearing as thin as environmental stability. Adam One, the kindly leader of the God's Gardeners--a religion devoted to the melding of science and religion, as well as the preservation of all plant and animal life--has long predicted a natural disaster that will alter Earth as we know it. Now it has occurred, obliterating most human life. Two women have survived: Ren, a young trapeze dancer locked inside the high-end sex club Scales and Tails, and Toby, a God's Gardener barricaded inside a luxurious spa where many of the treatments are edible.
Have others survived? Ren's bioartist friend Amanda? Zeb, her eco-fighter stepfather? Her onetime lover, Jimmy? Or the murderous Painballers, survivors of the mutual-elimination Painball prison? Not to mention the shadowy, corrupt policing force of the ruling powers...
Meanwhile, gene-spliced life forms are proliferating: the lion/lamb blends, the Mo'hair sheep with human hair, the pigs with human brain tissue. As Adam One and his intrepid hemp-clad band make their way through this strange new world, Ren and Toby will have to decide on their next move. They can't stay locked away...
By turns dark, tender, violent, thoughtful, and uneasily hilarious, The Year of the Flood is Atwood at her most brilliant and inventive.

Posted: 9/21/2009 8:49:16 PM | I have tooooo many books on the go that aren't getting read. Is anyone else like that? I can't not buy them, if I see something that interests me, but I'm not getting them read. I used to finish them, but the last couple of years I have become a buyer of books 
Anyway one of my all-time favourites: THE LITTLE PRINCE by Antoine De Saint'Exupery | |

I'll go out on a limb even though I've hardly dug in and recommend it. | |
