Melinda, you might enjoy this site. It houses some of the classic books of all time. Last night I enjoyed reading Plato and confucious again. Their are dozens of similar sites around on the net. I'll try and put together a list of them soon. classics.mit.edu Michael

Melinda, That sounds like a wonderful day---storms are the best. I haven't read any of those authors and guess I had better before I accuse them of being macho. We have the 7 Spiritual Laws and Emotional Intelligence but I haven't read them--are they worth reading? Have Beloved and Song of Solomon and haven't read them either! (I'm going through our bookcases)Did read Midnight and enjoyed it-want Angela's Ashes. Also I LOVE old cookbooks and would rather read a regional cookbook than a good mystery!!

melinda, "Bad Land," that was a good book. It got me thinking about my family that used to live in North Dakota, and moved away during World War I. One of these days I want to drive up there and scout around. That's why I bought the Land Rover. Unfortunately, I got very sick (rheumatoid arthritis) right afterwards, but if I get better, I will go next year. I think I may have family among the Turtle Creek Chippewa, but that's so vague . . . Most of the people I know that have read a "A Civil Action" have recommended it to me because my erstwhile partner and I handled a medical malpractice case that was, otherwise, so much like that case, it was freaky. I read the first part while our big case was on appeal, it was so close to home that I couldn't read the middle, I had to skip right to the end. We had a better ending, thank God. Similarly, "Angela's Ashes" and "Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil" are so true, so real, that you feel like you are living someone else's life vicariously. I really like books like that. Does anyone have more like that to recommend? CobaltBlue
