I'll be anxious to hear your thoughts if and when you get a chance to read it. Thanks for validating my views on Moby Dick. I'll be sure to share your thoughts with my hubby. :)Leshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08345657431432380804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22415234.post-1158705675177669812006-09-19T15:41:00.000-07:002006-09-19T15:41:00.000-07:00Hi, Les!Not sure how I missed this post, but I can...Hi, Les!<BR/><BR/>Not sure how I missed this post, but I can only think it's because I was right in the middle of my vacation!<BR/><BR/>Mostly all the books you've listed are books I have been wanting to read forever, but just haven't got down to it. One book, however, that I want to get to real soon is "Ghost Rider".<BR/><BR/>And LOL@ your choice of book for a desert island. It makes perfect sense however, you'll be so bored, even Moby Dick will seem entertaining! :)Lotus Readshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02081192215823615529noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22415234.post-1155259116267748652006-08-10T18:18:00.000-07:002006-08-10T18:18:00.000-07:00Framed,I checked on IMDB and it looks like it is! ...Framed,<BR/><BR/>I checked on IMDB and it looks like it is!

At least not yet! It's a clever idea, though, and I've enjoyed reading through your lists. It's all I can do to get my book reviews posted and an occasional gardening photo/blurb up on my other blog. Thanks for the kind words about my garden blog. Gardening is definitely a joy and challenge, especially in the Midwest.<BR/><BR/>BTW, my parents are Canadian and American, too (thus, I have dual citizenship). <BR/><BR/>And I'd never heard of Arbonne (your mom's face cream) until last month when my daughter became a rep.Leshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08345657431432380804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22415234.post-1155232795049140322006-08-10T10:59:00.000-07:002006-08-10T10:59:00.000-07:00les, you are so sweet.

Thanks for the words of affirmation.<BR/><BR/>I stopped by looking for your Thursday Thirteen, and then wondered if you even participate in that...at any rate, I looked at your gardening blog and am quite amazed. That is NOT a skill of mine, but I like the pictures and information you've posted. However, if you want to have a two sided conversation with me, it's going to have to be about books.;)Bellezza https://www.blogger.com/profile/18073864187188953633noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22415234.post-1155230119836893762006-08-10T10:15:00.000-07:002006-08-10T10:15:00.000-07:00Bellezza,Thanks for visiting.

He asked if it was a book blog and I told him it was a little bit of everything, but written so nicely I couldn't stop reading (yep, I read all the archives). If it were a book, I would have stayed up late until I'd finished. <BR/><BR/>Framed,<BR/><BR/>Atonement & Saturday are both quite good. My least favorite of McEwan's is Amsterdam. Hmmm, wonder if he has another in the works. I may just have to give Atonement a second read.

I fell asleep every time I tried reading it in college, and still somehow managed to write a short paper on it. Have lost the memory as to how I did that, but I seem to recall getting no lower than a B on said paper!Lisa Guidarinihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07976652734686730456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22415234.post-1154983348610937842006-08-07T13:42:00.000-07:002006-08-07T13:42:00.000-07:00Heather,I wonder if I'd enjoy re-reading Grapes of...Heather,<BR/><BR/>I wonder if I'd enjoy re-reading Grapes of Wrath. It's been about 30 years!<BR/><BR/>You can bet I won't have Moby Dick on my Back-to-School reading challenge list. ;)<BR/><BR/>If you loved Fifty Acres and a Poodle, you'll probably enjoy the sequel. It was very wonderful. I still need to get a copy of her new book (title escapes me - something about motherhood, I think).Leshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08345657431432380804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22415234.post-1154980397011810572006-08-07T12:53:00.000-07:002006-08-07T12:53:00.000-07:00I tried to read The Grapes of Wrath once and could...I tried to read The Grapes of Wrath once and couldn't get into it. I may have to try again!<BR/><BR/>I read half of Moby Dick about 4 years ago and had to stop after about 200 pages. I was just bored to tears.<BR/><BR/>I loved Fifty Acres and a Poodle. I hope I get to read the sequel sometime. I'll have to pick up In Cold Blood soon. Maybe I'll take it to the mountains this weekend.Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00331915574696737725noreply@blogger.com
