Hello, all! Life outside of my computer has kept me from posting recently. I apologize.
I just finished a trilogy by Nora Roberts. The titles are :Key of Light, Key of Knowledge and Key of Valor. Set in modern times, it is about 3 women brought together by destiny to come to the aid of ancient Celtic gods.
The storylines tended to be predictable. However, it was a light read and I enjoyed the series.

Tue, April 12, 2005 - 9:20 AMgood morning lisa and suzanne. lisa, i'm glad you have found some time to read! it's nice to see you here on my very favourite tribe.
i'm reading "and my shoes keep walking back to you" by kathi kamen goldmark, a singer/songwriter from SF. it's a novel about the country music industry and very funny.

Re: What are you reading this week?
Tue, April 12, 2005 - 9:59 AMThis week, I have pulled a much loved book from my book shelves to read again.
I can relate to the young girl who starts out in the story. She will make you laugh, cry and just want to hug her to tell her that everything is going to be OK. She brings to life the hard way of living in the mountains in W. Virginia. Plus, she makes one appreciate the beauty in the world in which she lives.
How Lee Smith was able to capture the dialect of these people is amazing to me.

Re: What are you reading this week?
Wed, April 13, 2005 - 5:24 AMThanx, I love to read.
I read at night before I go to bed, but this time of year, I'm usually so tired that I can only manage 4 or 5 pages.
Reading helps me relax and unwind.

Wed, April 13, 2005 - 10:23 AMAnd you are so trusting (though in this case you're probably safe in doing so...I'm just here for fun and enlightenment, of the cerebral kind...the bits of flattery that I get from you all don't hurt me a bit either)...awwww pishaw....
You too, must be wise beyond your years to recognize these things... -

This is the maximum depth. Additional responses will not be threaded.

Nope, not beyond my years. I am up there with the age of the wise ones. Hey, if we live long enough and don't learn something along the way, we have done a bad job of living. :)
I can't help but respond to ya because of that sexy pix that you have up. Help, I am a sucker for a good looking guy. And now I am old enough to say it and get away with it. he he -

Re: What are you reading this week?
Wed, April 13, 2005 - 12:52 PMAh, but you must be old enough to need glasses that you aren't wearing when you should...

The benefits of being the only male in the tribe, you have little else to compare me to... But shouldn't we be talking about books?
(just me getting shy, not trying to be a goodie-two-shoes or anything - not my style... :>) -

Re: What are you reading this week?
Wed, April 13, 2005 - 4:51 PMJoel, if I don't have on glasses, I am wearing contacts. I couldn't see to type otherwise. But that isn't anything new as I have been wearing glasses since I was but a girl.
Hey, good banter is good fodder for the brain. Especially, if a person writes. When I write, I always have at least one good looking man in the story line. Next time, it might be you I will be thinking about when I write.
The lonesome, lean cowboys was leaning against the fence fishing for his papers to roll a smoke, when out of a bowl of dust, came this mature woman wearing nothing but her cowboy boots and a hat.
Wooo, she was yelling at her horse as he picked up spend and pasted the cowboy in a flash.
To be continued.....:) -

Re: What are you reading this week?
Wed, April 13, 2005 - 7:27 PMwhich cowgirl are you talking about? me or lisa? and was that supposed to be passed or pasted? :)
BTW. i don't recommend that outfit for any long distance riding! -

Re: What are you reading this week?
Wed, April 13, 2005 - 7:43 PMDang girl, I didn't even think about you.
My spelling leaves a lot to be desired at time. Passed of course.
I was just playing against Joel in his cowboy hat. Can you imagine a woman riding without her clothes? Man would her butt be raw....... -

Re: What are you reading this week?
Sat, April 16, 2005 - 5:18 AMI'm rather jumping in at the middle here - I'm reading a text book also, but fortunately it's not Environmental Life Science: I hated that class! "My ancestors were fish!" has no relevance to me and I took that course at... shall we say, an advanced age... so I was old enough to know that it had no relevance in my life... I feel for you, dear.
I'm joyously reading in the Longman Anthology of British Literature... Wordsworth and Coleridge at the moment... I have a major paper to do within the next few weeks and I'm considering doing a comparison of the Romantic conventions put forth by Wordsworth and how (or if) they played out (no pun intended) in the music of Beethoven ... -

Wed, April 20, 2005 - 8:23 PMI have not been able to read for days. EERRGGHH! Next week, I am going to Birminhayam, Albaama for an exhibit management seminar. Four days alone in a hotel. If I can't find someone to loan me a laptop, I may go mad. But at least I'll have plenty of time to read. -

Re: What are you reading this week?
Wed, April 20, 2005 - 8:49 PMChocolate? OMG, with peanut butter, or rasberries, or champagne? In the quiet, I can watch whatever I want on TV, I can eat what I want, take the last coke/cookie, whatever?
4 days without hearing "Mo0uouom, he won't leave me alone."
Wait a minute...Could it be a little slice of heaven on earth?

Re: What are you reading this week?
Wed, April 20, 2005 - 8:50 PMi'm reading
playing house by patricia pearson. a very funny novel about new motherhood. the following is a very short excerpt that had me laughing on page one.
New life announces itself as a mystery that a mother cannot solve. Something happens, a certain gear-shifting in the body that she notes, but makes no sense of. ...iwas simply going about my business, enjoying early spring in New York City, when all of a sudden I woke up in the clean morning sunshine to find that my breasts had inflated like dinghies and were heavier than my head
that last line was so good.

Re: What are you reading this week?
Thu, April 21, 2005 - 10:16 PMNot to worry Suzanne, I will come down and keep you company.
You will be staying in the heart of what is going on. I think you will like it. Quaint place to be but booming with night life.
Lots of food places will surround you as well as cute shops. One of the either 4 or 5 star restaurants if just around the corner.
Have you heard of Highlands Bar and Grill? Famous place. -

Re: What are you reading this week?
Fri, April 22, 2005 - 4:52 AMI know zilch about Alabama.
As soon as I know my schedule, I will PM you and let you know. I would love to meet you.
A friend loaned me a lap top so I won't be without my internet and email after all. I was going into withdrawals already just thinking about being without for 4 days.
The rest of you guys can just be jealous (or join us) `coz I get to meet the awesome Ms. Bren-duh! -

Re: What are you reading this week?
Fri, April 22, 2005 - 7:11 AMi would love to join you, but alas, reality gets in the way - again.

Re: What are you reading this week?
Fri, April 22, 2005 - 9:31 AMTek, I think this will be a good read. Let us know what you think after reading it. High drama for a housewife. What could be better?

Re: What are you reading this week?
Fri, April 22, 2005 - 9:29 AMI don't know if you will think awesome when you meet me but I will take you around Birmingham and show you around. That is if you have time.
It would be terrible to come here and not see the place. So many people have a bad imagine of our city from the sixities. We have grown up since then.
Looking forward to meeting such a nice lady as you Suzanne. I feel honored that you emailed me to say you would be here. -

Re: What are you reading this week?
Wed, April 27, 2005 - 4:26 PMHave about 10 pages left on "The Agony and the Ecstasy" and then on to "The God of Small Things" by Arundhati Roy. This was recommended by fellow tribester Mona. Read a few pages at work already, quite lyrical so far - can't go wrong when steered by Mona... -

Re: What are you reading this week?
Wed, April 27, 2005 - 6:01 PMAww, thanks, Joel. Great book. It reads like poetry.
I'm reading "The Lust Lizard of Melancholy Cove" by Christopher Moore. I'm working my way through all his books. The guy is one of the funniest writers around (second only to my fave... Tom Robbins).
I recommend Moore's books. Especially "The Island of the Sequined Love Nun" and "Fluke" Heh.
Now, I'm going back to staring at Joel's pictures... -
-
Re: What are you reading this week?
Thu, April 28, 2005 - 8:40 AMI suggest that the rest of you follow Mona's book advice, she knows what she is talking about. She is, though, a bit off on her picture viewing likes, though the ones of my boy are quite cute - but then, she has met him in person... -
-
Re: What are you reading this week?
Thu, April 28, 2005 - 9:59 AMi just recently finished "the god of small things". I really liked it. It has a certain rythm to it. You really get a feel for the crowds and the heat of the Indian cities (maybe it just reminds me of the Philippines!) -

Re: What are you reading this week?
Mon, May 2, 2005 - 11:34 PMArundhati Roy's book has been on my To-Read list for about two years now, and it's about high time that I crack open the pages... In the meanwhile, I've been avidly reading so many other amazing books -- for those of you who LOVE READING, then I would suggest the literary gem of "Too Loud A Solitude" by Czech author Bohumil Hrabal. I read the translated version by Michael Henry Heim. By page seven I was jotting down favorite lines from the book such as this:
"Because when I read, I don't really read; I pop a beautiful sentence into my mouth and suck it like a fruit drop, or I sip it like a liqueur until the thought dissolves in me like alcohol, infusing brain and heart and coursing on through the veins to the root of each blood vessel." -
-
Re: What are you reading this week?
Wed, May 4, 2005 - 8:52 AMHrabal's words sound tasty too - (or at least his translated ones) Have to add this to my list.

Re: What are you reading this week?
Wed, May 4, 2005 - 12:00 PMWhen I read or when someone is telling me a story, I get pictures in my head. It is like I am at a play watching what the person is saying or what the book is describing.
Do y'all do that? -

Re: What are you reading this week?
Wed, May 4, 2005 - 8:43 PM<< I get pictures in my head>>
Dang Right! Who needs TV with a good imagination? I love to go read books that I know a movie is based on when I haven't seen the movie. I know it's probably a good book & I get to create the characters with the author. It's always better than the movie. And, sometimes a place is created so well that I'm disappointed when I see someone else's idea of it in a movie.
BTW, I read A&E years ago and remember it beaing a great story - brings it all to life.
