LOL. I haven't read it in over a year. I'd probably miss one or two. I'm not the best at remembering the fine details after a year or two. Unless I start really thinking hard about the book...then I can remember the most random things, even down to quotes. However, I just got out of bed and...

Love to give out candy and see all the little ones dressed up. They're too cute. My best costumes were the time I went as a pumpkin, the time I was a kangaroo, and the time I went as raggedy anne. Mom made all the costumes and they were fantastic. (I even hate raggedy anne, but the costume...

Definitely depends upon the book for me. The Order of the Phoenix actually only took me about 6-8 hours, but I wanted to make sure I finished it before anyone told me what happened. I used to be able to read an average paperback in 2-3 days, now that I'm working part-time and going to school...

I rarely judge a book by its cover. A good cover has gotten me to pick up a book every once in a while, but I usually read the blurb on the back/inside cover first. If its a new author, then I usually read the first chapter or so before deciding to pick out a book to read. Most of the time I...

He didn't in the first one, if I remember correctly, but perhaps in the later ones...anyone know? Thanks for the welcome back & the help :)

Hello All, I am currently in graduate school to get my teacher's certification and a master's degree in secondary education. I am enrolled in a reading class, which is designed to broaden our reading selections. I am an avid reader, but I'm hoping that some of you can help me find books...

Welcome & enjoy yourself! :)

Don't they sound great, Martin? I first heard of the schools last year and I think they're a wonderful idea. Especially for younger children, but all kids could benefit from such techniques.

I've heard of such schools. The concept fascinates me...and I've heard wonderful things about the schools. Kids will rise to meet their expectations, but I think many people fail to realize that fact. If you expect nothing from them, they tend to give nothing.

Exactly. My friend, who also teaches primary school, was told not to discipline one child, because his family had gang members and it was too dangerous to discipline him. He, as you can imagine, was quite a terror the whole year. What the parents who fail to discipline their children...

I think the anti-spanking laws tend to cause uninventive people to assume they can't come up with any other way to discipline their child, so they don't discipline them at all. We've no such laws over here, but if anyone is seen spanking their child, they often have to worry about being charged...

I used to own a rose bush that put out blue roses like the one above. It was quite beautiful (it was while I still lived with my parents...since I've moved away, they killed it from neglect...not really garden people).

I know plenty of single 25-27 y/o females...maybe you should send me your dating resume and I'll set you up with one ;) (j/k about the resume...I have to say that ever since I put up a fake application to date my roomate and had people respond and take the whole thing seriously).

colby is also good on pizzas...especially mixed with other various cheeses.

I hope its not as disappointing as the fifth book. I'm still excited about it, though.

Welcome, Thea! Amazon is a life-saver (or $ saver). I also like Half.com, where you can get great prices on used books. Might wanna look into them.

If they're important, I definitely prefer footnotes...they're much easier to find and read.

Perhaps so...maybe they only fed mine chicken, in order to keep the theory that "everything tastes like chicken" alive & well ;) (Being from the poultry capital of the world, this wouldn't surprise me...everything eats lots & lots of chicken here)

You're so welcome ;) 25, but taken. Sorry to disappoint. :D

They're precious. I always have thought rabbits were beautiful, and Monty & Monopoly are absolutely adorable. :)
