Question of the Week - To Trick, or To Treat: That Is the Question
One year I dressed in a "Rasta" wig, frock coat and was liberally wrapped in chains. My character? THE MARLEYS, Jacob and Bob
Question of the Week - Question of the Week #38: Books on Repeat
The Little Prince, because no matter how I feel it makes me feel better. Every reading is different in some fundamental way because i have changed from one time to the next.
Question of the Week - Question of the Week #20: Potent Quotables
"T.A.N.S.T.a.a.F.L." From Robert Heinlein "The Moon is a Harsh Mistress". There is cost to everything and you may not expect me to carry you. I may choose to but the choice is mine because I PAID for it. Stands for "There Ain't No Such Thing as a Free Lunch". Inscribed on the flag of the "Independent Moon". Read the book!
Adventure Books - Adventure Fans
Finishing the last 3 instals of "The Virginian" nice adventure/romance. I loved the "Further Adventures of Robinson Caruso" and never knew it even existed. I'm also a fan of Heinlin's "Stranger in a Strange Land". I've already read most of Dumas but "The Count" may be coming up on my list soon. Recently finished the "100 ideas for successful Business" or at least that is what it was about and that was pretty good. I used some quotes from that when I made a suggestion to CORPORATE. (No response to date). Great reading to all!
