Just gotta know what these Scientologists have been brainwashed into! So, if you ever want to read something that's REALLY BADLY WRITTEN, that's the one! L. Ron fancied himself very intelligent and the book radiates smug.<BR/><BR/>On a more serious note -- anything Neil Gaiman is good. Or David Mitchell, or Terry Pratchett. I'm also reading Water For Elephants, that Ma Horton mentioned -- I have to start it again since it was buried under the beside pile for a couple of months.Cheryl (a.k.a Sherri, and vice-versa)https://www.blogger.com/profile/03922353962613463888noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7916860834838233050.post-42379888503875695532007-12-28T14:42:00.000-05:002007-12-28T14:42:00.000-05:00michael crichton's "next" was a good read, scienti...michael crichton's "next" was a good read, scientific novel with enough credibility. currently reading jimmy carter's "palestine: peace not apartheid". interesting if you care about politics. but then,<BR/>i've always been partial to carter, i like the kind of guy he is... humane!!<BR/>:)~Bruno Lalibertéhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09607511642101907283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7916860834838233050.post-7765229895739741502007-12-28T10:22:00.000-05:002007-12-28T10:22:00.000-05:00Ha!

If only I knew what types of things you liked to read... <BR/><BR/>So here, covering a wide range of genres, styles, and target audience ages, are a few suggestions:<BR/><BR/><I>Bridge to Terabithia</I> by Katherine Paterson (my favourite book of all time); Jeffrey Archer's <I>A Prison Diary</I> (all three volumes, non-fiction); <I>Neverwhere</I> by Neil Gaiman; <I>The Death Artist</I> by Jonathan Santlofer; <I>Raveling</I> by Peter Moore Smith (I think); and William Nicholson's "The Wind on Fire" trilogy (<I>The Wind Singer, Slaves of the Mastery,</I> and <I>Firesong</I> -- fantasy for young audiences but read and enjoyed by lots of adults, too).

They have it at COSTCO for under $20 bucks. <BR/><BR/>Now if only he could put the Wii down long enough to finish the damn book.<BR/><BR/>We have Mario Party 8 and sonny boy loves it and little Princess is not really understanding it but listening to her bro.<BR/>We also have Carnival (have not played it yet), Olympic something or other. Cooking Mama for Princess. I am OK with some games but have not had the chance to really play over the holidays yet.Mariahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12271539341601628629noreply@blogger.com
