    Looking for a quote from a Mary Willis Walker book

    Search for the book (by author and title) on Google books. Type “gun control” in “Search in this book” or “Search inside”. Be aware that it might be an ARC or something similar, so there might be legal issues with using that quote.

    Wtf!

    Carlos, They were probably looking for a guy that fit your description from some problem nearby, like a robbery. If you check the police logs, you may be able to figure out who the police were looking for. Don’t let that stop you from exercising. The sidewalks are public property, and you...

    List Making - software, program etc.

    I second MS Excel and a USB flash drive. Excel is on most library computers, so you can work on your book list at least an hour a day (in the United States). Excel lets you sort the columns, so you can sort your book list by author, title, or published date. You can have different...

    From a review of The Templar Conspiracy by Paul Christopher on Amazon.com: “Maybe my memory is just a little too good when it comes to books, but while reading the section where Holliday and Peggy go to Aix-Les-Bains for false documents caused me to have a serious flashback...like I had...

    Do You Believe...?

    Pontiac, I think you will enjoy reading some of the books by Sylvia Browne, John Edward, James Van Pragh, etc. They all have similar explanations for Near Death Experiences.

    Solved - The Lathe of Heaven by Ursula K. Le Guin

    Thank you! I like her books. By the way, you might enjoy the movie. The 1980 PBS movie was the first made-for-TV movie that was ever shown on PBS, and then it wasn't seen again for 20 years because it got caught up in a copyright dispute over a Beatle's song.

    Ever read a book and years later want to re-read it but have no idea what it was?

    This MIGHT be the Samaria Series by Sharon Shinn. The first book she wrote in this series is Archangel, but the first book chronologically is Angelica. I really like these books. I wish she'd write more of them. Archangel "Angels and men exist in harmony on the world of Samaria. Every...

    Writing from Dreams

    This is fascinating. The only other person I have heard about is the artist Julie Speed. I was so fascinated by some of her paintings, and I wanted more information. I read her biography, hoping that she would comment about what image she started out with, and how it changed as she was...
