Thanks Novella, Just from my preliminary reading I have found that the working homeless are a fast growing segment of the population. Scary, huh? I will get ahold of the book you suggest, it sounds like something that would be very helpful. Thank you so much for your post! ~Witch

OMG! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAA!!!! So funny! Thank you so much. ~Witch

cultural misunderstandings I was thinking more of how it is taken for granted that, say, a woman would throw herself onto her husbands funeral pyre in a particular country under particular circumstances... the original work might not bother to explain that, it's taken for granted. But just...

I will definately look for her when I next get out. :) ~Witch :D

To Lies Thank you for your take on things. I often wish i were multi-lingual, but alas, English is the only language I can speak or read. :( I wish they had required a language in High School, I didn't have the drive to learn a language then... of course it would have been most convienient...

Banana? Wow, if that is the authors name it is pretty cool. Banana Yoshimoto... have they written much? I will have to keep my eyes open for their work. Thanks a bunch. :) I think I'm going to need more bookshelves. :) ~Witch

Thanks! :)

I am beginning to do some research on the issue of homelessness. To start I am only looking at homelessness in North America. So far I have ordered; Rachel and her Children; by Jonathon Kozol, Tell them who I am; by Elliot Liebow, and The Visible Poor; by Joel Blau. Can any of you offer any...

Christopher moore is Hysterical, Robert Lynn Aspirin's Myth series and Phule series are great. Good Omens by Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchet is excellent... Dave Barry almost always does the trick. Hmmm... that's all I can think of off the top of my head.... ~Witch

I loved this book, but I did not find it as laugh-out-loud hilarious as; Rush Limbaugh is a Big Fat Idiot. ~Witch

I've read a few books that were translated from their original language into English over the years, but not many. Sometimes there are oddities that occur in translation that make a story difficult to follow, or cultural differences that lead to misunderstanding, or disregard for the importance...

I have now read Fluke and Practical Demon Keeping.... 2 more great reads from Moore. :) ~Witch

I keep all books that I do not hate. :) But then, the ones that aren't my favorites get sold off when I need money. We recently went through tough times and I had to sell six boxes of books. That sucked. :( But now I can afford not only to keep the reast but continue to procure more. I...

That book is great! I read it years ago.... She was staying with a family and got to watch the progress of the plague in the town she was in... I was thinking about it only a week or two ago. ~Witch

I love the dark elf trilogy. Drizzt is one of my all time favorite heroes. I like this particular trilogy the best. Homeland, Exile and Sojourn just have something that is missing in the other Drizzt books. I'd love to see a book where Drizzt gets to relax and enjoy life for a nice long...
