Lennie had to die at George's hand. It was quick and he was gone. If George let him live, Lennie would have been horribly mistreated and lynched in a horrific scene of terror for a "simple man" who simply did not understand what was going on around him. The comparison to the dog was very apt.

In high school, our Junior Varsity Football Coach was the English Three (Junior) Teacher. He insisted that we always have a book that we were reading and would take oral book reports from us to confirm that we knew what we were reading. After we had been in his class of a month he read Of...

Back to reality. Fritz Leiber is on E-books now, too. Since it is obvious that I like Sci Fi, I just thought that I would mention that I love Fritz Leiber's writing. Stewart will have a hard time attacking him, as Fritz is dead. Fritz was the son of a famous Shakespearian actor who was...

Nahh! He has found more of my typos than he has found wrong with the book I recommended. I do not always type well. The fact remains that Stewart has not listed any real content that he can substantively disagree with from the book. Subjunctive is difficult to write into a clause or sentence...

Then Stewart, you can see that I posted one post and then a day or two later two more. Your assertion to the contrary is totally false and dishonest. Shame on you! I have bought a lot of books on the Internet. I am familiar with some of the Internet Sellers that I was making rich. When I...

I note the rolleyes. I was just poking fun as I felt that Stewart was a little bit dismissive of me and my youth. You know, of course, that the younger generation usually does not trust the older generation. Since I am so young, I have even more reason not to trust as I can read the...

QUOTE=Stewart;231080 That is wrong. I posted one opening post about how I liked E-books and so on. It was erased. A couple of days later, I could not find my introductory post, so I posted two posts and both of them were erased. I can not even introduce my self to the board if you remove the...

I'm still a teenager so have grown up with this stuff. When all of your friends are showing you the modern advantages of using PDAs and Blackberries and small laptops, it is easy to learn. Start hanging out with the "Younger Crowd" and you might never go back to reading from paper. As it is...

Yep, I have read way too many paper books. and your statement that you have to use your HANDS rings so very true. Uncomfortable unless you are sitting. Of course, you can lay down in bed with your pillow under your chest and prop yourself up by bunching the pillows (you need at least two) and...

Constant mentions? I mentioned it once and it was erased. I thought that we should be able to mention the books that we liked. Since I did not see the post that I opened my introduction to the board with, I posted something like it again a few days later. I thought that maybe I had not entered...

I love E-books but have never written one. A lot of people on this site do not know what an E-book is. Any time I post about liking e-books, the moderator erases my messages. E-books can be downloaded to your PDA, your Blackberry, you cell phone (If it has a viewing screen), and, of course...
