They're pretty all consuming if you really get into them. I read all of them that are in paperback in about a month. Intense--but I love that feeling of being immersed in a great set of books. And these are so uniform...its practically seamless from one book to the next. And yeah, he's...

That may have sounded like I was griping. I wasn't trying to do so. It just looked like all that data should have already been assigned to the username.

There are some zombie-like objects in GRR Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire series. I recall that Roger Zelazny uses them in Lord of Light. Also, they make up a sizable part of the plot in one of Piers Anthony's Xanth books but I have tried to forget reading those. Lots of movies, not too...

Maybe Only In California would have been a better title. I don't know gang, every country's got its weirdo's. But, they probably think that folks who don't have pets and don't treat them like beloved children are strange too.

Well crap. That didn't last long did it? He's going to run out of regernerations by the end of the season at this rate.

Dobson's probably the best. His book, The Strong Willed Child is a classic. Its just been reprinted as The New Strong Willed Child but its a new updated edition. Lots of great insights there. We've got Bringing Up Boys too but we haven't read that one yet. Plan to soon though.

I did a Google search (homeless homelessness books) and came up with these links--all of which have pretty good book lists on them: Salvation Army http://www.questia.com/library/sociology-and-anthropology/social-issues/economic-issues/homelessness.jsp...

Well I'd like to say thanks to direstraits because tabulating all those votes is a killer--especially trying to get all the information formatted uniformly.

Only in America indeed. Go and read the history of that website. Score one for Capitalism!

Sorry but those meth lab types are nuts. If they're not strung out on their own stuff they're half loopy from all the chemicals it takes to make it. I'm not saying go over there blazing away with a twelve gague, but I do think precautions should be taken. That said, they could just be...

It depends on whats going on in the house. I do most of my heavy duty writing in the morning before the house gets up. Usually I edit at night--then I can stand a little music. But when I write its usually just the hum of the fridge or the washer or something, maybe if the kids are up and...

In Tennesse its probably moonshine. Seriously, if it WAS meth it'll start up again pretty soon. Especially if they got away with it once. This time they'll probably blow up the house and you won't have to worry about it anymore. At 500 feet you'll probably just get some debris in your...

Bran, Arya and Dany seem to be the most interesting to me. Dany continues to surprise. Arya is tough as hell and Bran, to me, is heading into the most interesting territory. There's a little something for everyone there. Come on Feast!

I used to watch these when I was a kid! Great stuff here. My favorite Doc was the guy with dark curly hair and a long scarf. He had a sonic screwdriver that looked like a cigar lighter--of course it was just in disguise. Not sure about his name--Tom Baker sounds right. Ah, but now to the...

whups. Double post.

I don't know that they are looked at in anyway really. I mean most folks seem to happy just to get by and let well enough alone. A lot of the younger folks probably have opinions if they're in college and maybe some that aren't. But unless you've been in the military and were posted somewhere...

Thats a good attitude to have. I've done some traveling overseas, though I have never been to Europe--passing through the airport in Spain or England or somewhere hardly counts--its different. Its quite a bit different, actually, than it is here. I was pretty shocked, though, to see how...

So its kinda like The Big Sleep on steroids.

Alan Rickman is supposed to be doing Marvin's voice. I'd have never picked him for that but it sounds about right. I can just hear it now, "I have this pain in the diodes..." I don't know, they're all supposed to have English accents. I guess I'm stuck on the TV series still.

So can we get sort of an idea what its about without spoiling the movie? I mean fans of the comic are going to know whats going on but if I went to see the thing I'd be sitting there just watching a movie. Any suggestions?
