Ruse Posted September 11, 2005 Posted September 11, 2005 Your pick my dear... Tetley Classic Blend Twinings Earl Grey - loose leaf Celestial Seasonings Cinnamon Apple Spice, Cranberry Apple Zinger, Blueberry, Alvita Chinese Green Tea (loose leaf) Ombili Rooibos Tea (good for digestion) With or without honey? I drink tea constantly, and so it's gotten to the point I drink most all kinds in a rotation, XD, though I am quite partial to Chai and Green. Usually I'll drink chai when I'm reading. (Pot tea I will not go for, though). I'll take Earl Grey, without honey. Quote Invictus maneo. O imitarores, servum pecus!

angie Posted November 26, 2005 Posted November 26, 2005 I just finished "The Big Bad Wolf" and "London Bridges" by James Patterson. Great reads. Gonna pick up the latest in the series "Mary, Mary" if I can get my hands on it. Highly recommend the books. But you have to start at the beginning of the series. (Same series "Kiss the Girls" and "Along Came a Spider" were based on). Quote http://www.darwinawards.com/ http://www.snopes.com http://www.breakthechain.org STOP THE SPAM!!

italiano_Pride Posted November 26, 2005 Posted November 26, 2005 Just got finished reading "The Lives of John Lennon." Kind of an old book but it's actually quite enlightening on what kind of life he lived as a child all the way through the end of his life. I recomend it. Quote
RoyalOrleans Posted November 26, 2005 Posted November 26, 2005 Over the course of eleven weeks, I have re-read The Watchmen by Alan Moore. I find it hard to concentrate on a book that I've read before, unless I'm on the crapper. Still it is one of the best comic books ever written. Quote To be the Man, you've got to beat the Man. - Ric Flair Everybody knows I'm known for dropping science.
Lethalfind Posted November 26, 2005 Posted November 26, 2005 I am reading Extended Massive Orgasm by Dr Steve and Vera Bodansky. VERY interesting. Lots of interesting details as to the neurological process of it all. I have read alot of books on the subject of sex but this one has alot more to offer. I was looking on Amazon and they have one with pictures...now that might be very interesting indeed. Quote I am a pathetic piece of shit leeching single mom.
builder Posted November 27, 2005 Posted November 27, 2005 You really need to get laid, Lethal. Just finished a book by Colleen McCullough, entitled "A Creed for the New Millenium". Some very interesting concepts re American Culture. Quote Persevere, it pisses people off.

skategreen Posted November 28, 2005 Posted November 28, 2005 Recent train reads...... The Egg and I (5th time through) New York Changing - Excellent photo book, photos of NY in the '30's, and same pics taken recently. Love B&W photography, and love old pics. Sisterhood of Travelling pants - all three. Cute girl teen type books. A Lotus grows in the Mud - Goldie Hawn's autobi .. not bad, a bit air headed tree hugging The Guardian - Nicholas Sparks - a guilty pleasure. Kinda like a really long telephone commercial (those touchy feely ones) Mid-way through DeFoe's Moll Flanders. First time through. Happy reading! Quote The thought manifests as the word. The word manifests as the deed. The deed develops into habit. And the habit hardens into character. So watch the thought and its ways with care.

Moll Flanders is a fabulous book, I studied it when I was at University the first time for my Historical Law class or one of my English history classes. There is a movie of it, it was aired on PBS, it follows the book really well. Its not the one with Morgan Freeman, that one is so far off the story you can't believe it. This one has the actress who played the English Doctor in ER, can't remember her name, she had the very curly hair. She of course plays Moll. Very racey it was for PBS.

hugo Posted November 28, 2005 Posted November 28, 2005 Mainly into non-fiction. Just finished "The Secret Six" concerning the men who financed John Brown's raid on Harper's Ferry.

slip_knot Posted December 6, 2005 Posted December 6, 2005 Hey silver Have you read the fables of Aesop ? Try it. Then when you are ready, find this guy. Theodore Powys and his book simply entitled "Fables" Aesops fables are fairly easy to understand. But Powy's is more complicated and of course, the moral which usually follows each fable is missing. Still some are not difficult, others well. se for yourself. Quote
Lethalfind Posted December 7, 2005 Posted December 7, 2005 I'm about to read one called "Reversing Diabetes". I have an uncle who is type 2 diabetes and my Mothers doctor thinks she might have the early symptoms. I have a few other people in my life with this problem as well. I have been wanting to find a healthier way to live as far as eating goes. I can't crash diet because I can't stick to it but I thought it would be a good idea to get used to a diet that is good for people with diabetes since I might be headed that way. The book tells how through diet and exercise you can reduce your need for insulin or posibly control it through diet only. I also bought an extra copy for a friend who has type 2 diabetes and has NO clue how to take care of himself. Now all I have to do is get him to read it...

papabryant Posted December 7, 2005 Posted December 7, 2005 I just finished "Ordinary Men: Reserve Police Battalion 101 and the Final Solution in Poland" by Browning. Horrific reading but very educational. Quote A Christian with a Bible is a nuisance to your comfortable level of non-belief. And a Christian with a brain cannot be as easily dismissed as you might be accustomed to. But a Christian with both is a dangerous thing.
WHATEVER Posted December 7, 2005 Posted December 7, 2005 Yeah......"The Davinci Code"..& .."Tell No One" - That is the best book EVER!! Quote
angie Posted March 24, 2006 Posted March 24, 2006 Yeah......"The Davinci Code"..& .."Tell No One" - That is the best book EVER!! My library is holding a seminar on the history of the Da Vinci code in a few weeks. It's going to be Mommy's night out. I picked up "Myth and Sexuality" today by Jamake Highwater. Just started it, but so far, so good. Never heard of the author, but he was a disciple of Joseph Campbell, which makes him good in my book.

OmegaManiac Posted March 25, 2006 Posted March 25, 2006 Charles Bukowski "notes of a dirty old man" Highly recommended. Quote
skategreen Posted March 25, 2006 Posted March 25, 2006 Mid-Way through, "Salt, A World History", by Mark Kurlansky. Who'da thunk that Salt could be so facinating?????

builder Posted April 21, 2006 Posted April 21, 2006 I just read the novel "Deliverance" by James Hickey. You might remember the movie with John Voight and Burt Reynolds starring. I'll read it again, just because I think it's worth it. Quote Persevere, it pisses people off.
Lethalfind Posted April 21, 2006 Posted April 21, 2006 Just my Algebra and English books... Over the Summer more Algebra and Developmental Psych...wooo wooo !! Quote I am a pathetic piece of shit leeching single mom.
Hamza123 Posted April 22, 2006 Posted April 22, 2006 I just finished the fundamentals of Business in North America and Japan... . Great book... Now I am reading NINETEEN EIGHTY-FOUR By George Orwell... Quote Taking it up the poopchute from Allah since 1990.
Lethalfind Posted April 22, 2006 Posted April 22, 2006 I just finished the fundamentals of Business in North America and Japan... . Great book... Now I am reading NINETEEN EIGHTY-FOUR By George Orwell... 1984 is a fabulous read...I remember when 1984 rolled around, Johnny Carson (before Leno for you young people) had an eye hanging on the set and he told the audience it was Big Brother... When you finish that you might find Animal Farm interesting, also by Orwell. I found the movie of 1984 interesting, very dark of course but interesting.
