I love 'Oh The Places You'll Go'! I have given this book as a gift to every 'coming of age' person I know! Paulo Cohello's 'The Alchemist' is another book I gift often... Recently....'Broken For You' and 'Mr. Pips' My God I love words...they tingle, shine, inspire and make me feel so alive!  sandalz Joined: 4/22/2007 Msg: 120 (view)   You've been THIS long without sex, why is it still a solid requirement? Posted: 6/25/2008 2:00:53 PM since I am divorced...what do I know lol... I think sex is a barometer... I cannot even begin to imagine being in an intimate relationship where the sexual connection is not present. It is such a trusting vulnerable position...you really know me and love me and accept me!  sandalz Joined: 4/22/2007 Msg: 110 (view)   You've been THIS long without sex, why is it still a solid requirement? Posted: 6/25/2008 4:47:18 AM Just curious...if your sex life was so great and the love and emotional part kept it great....why are you anyone's ex???  sandalz Joined: 4/22/2007 Msg: 77 (view)   oooops....it looks like someone stole my line! Posted: 6/15/2008 5:47:00 PM I just finished 'Broken For You'...brilliant, the language, characterization and story line where unique and lyrical! Now...my 3 favourite books (in no particular order) are: Broken For You The Time Traveller's Wife A Thousand Splendid Suns  sandalz Joined: 4/22/2007 Msg: 75 (view)   Favourite Book Posted: 9/7/2007 4:01:41 PM Beautiful Deviant! we share such a love of literature! I am a huge fan of children's lit! The Eleventh Hour Brother Eagle Sister Sky ....I have to run downstairs and look on my 21 year old son's bookshelf lol The Places You'll Go ....I still buy kid lit even though my sons are adults. Brave New World The Great Gatsby Far From the Maddening Crowd Stone Angel The Tin Flute ....most Canadian Lit recently: A Thousand Splendid Suns The Secret River Suite Francais ...in my lifetime I will never read everything I w0uld like to...words like art it draws me in, an unforgetable view etched in your mind, like the finest first taste of an extraordinary wine, a glimpse of a heron on a crisp fall morning in the park, all woven together in a spectacular chaos where your inner child crashes uninhibitedly into your gray haired more seriously cautious you...I saw words written on walls and they spoke to me, each letter alive and together an inspiration! I need more ears to hear all of the words that live on the shelves...  sandalz Joined: 4/22/2007 Msg: 2116 (view)   Poems By All ...Read page one...Just add one more line Posted: 8/26/2007 11:58:39 AM ah...but a man's pen is his metaphor or else...how else is his reach exceeded my dear tan gent  sandalz Joined: 4/22/2007 Msg: 2113 (view)   Poems By All ...Read page one...Just add one more line Posted: 8/26/2007 11:00:20 AM The space between when he last spoke and I opened my mouth and gave birth to these words...  sandalz Joined: 4/22/2007 Msg: 2112 (view)   Poems By All ...Read page one...Just add one more line Posted: 8/26/2007 10:58:57 AM when apparently sultry was but a trace she looked up and desultory reared it's leathery face  sandalz Joined: 4/22/2007 Msg: 71 (view)   Favourite Book Posted: 8/22/2007 4:10:58 PM Morning fingers...sigh... My favourite book will be the one I write one day. In the meantime...extraordinary characterization, memorable perspective and anything that makes me laugh or moves me to tears...remarkable tears of humanity... Anything written from the heart, with compassion and raw understanding... For now...a book I read while lying on a cottage sunporch warmed into a submissive half sleep, loons, the wind drifting by on her elsewhere way and reality an unwelcome shrug, I lay suspended between where those words and I flirted and coyly played and the damp summer sofa underneath...  sandalz Joined: 4/22/2007 Msg: 69 (view)   Favourite Book Posted: 8/18/2007 5:34:12 PM The Kite Runner....and now... A Thousand Spendid Suns memorable...each of them...words that coat your tongue and linger like your favourite dessert or memory...and you wish you were blessed with this story telling talent, but know that the gift of appreciation is a great as the gift of narration.  sandalz Joined: 4/22/2007 Msg: 63 (view)   Favourite Book Posted: 7/13/2007 2:34:41 PM I agree re: Catcher In The Rye...in a word...memorable. Atlas Shrugged ...Rand The Great Gatsby...Fitzgerald Brave New World... Huxley Lives of Girls and Women...Munroe The Alchemist...Cohello The Sparrow...Doria Russell Bird Song...Faulkes more to follow....
