A toss up between lackadaisical and ethereal.

I'd like to add Dolly Parton, Linda Ronstadt, EmmyLou Harris and Emmy Rossum to this great list.

I'm truly hoping a C-in-Chief who knows what he's doing can successfully END the wars we've got going already. That would get my vote. Simply pulling out troops may not end the war ... but then I'm not a military expert .... I just play one on TV. No, wait, that was Fred Thompson! :)...

Actually I was thinking more about Thatcher's role during the Falkland War, than her domestic record, in the context of evaluating/contrasting H Clinton's military leadership capabilities. McCain's are understood to the extent that he is ready to be commander-in-chief on day one.

Hi Anne! Very nice to see you here - I'm RacingGreen on the HF forum. I'm trying to participate more often here, and look forward to reading your posts. Cheers!

I read it a few months ago. Really trippy! I'd sure recommend it to other readers. All the kids at first seem so inane (much like Cloverfield at first before the monster starts running amok), but once they are on the road and then reach the Ruins, it's a tense and horrific read. Smith sure...

Oh, would that we had a Maggie to vote for this year instead of .....!! I am one of the South Carolinians who voted for McCain on Jan19th. Not just for his military leadership experience, but also because he's a moderate economic libertarian maverick independent dude! I believe he sincerely...

Perhaps it is precisely that McCain is an 'old war horse' that he made it through. McCain is certainly a proven former military leader and may be the man best suited as commander-in-chief at least for the next four years. He sounds like he'll try to make good on economic and other domestic...

Most every historical fiction reader should read Katherine by Anya Seton at least once! And then all the rest of her novels. I started studying western civ/history a whole lot more and haven't really stopped after reading about the 14th C in Katherine. Reading Barbara Tuchman's A Distant...

Or ..... "Obama? Is that like an Irishman from Alabama or something?" :D (I'm Southern, so it makes silly sense to me, and since three of my grandparents were born in Alabama, I'm sure not slamming that state!)

McCammon's Wolf's Hour is a fantastic read. Boy's Life, too. Agreed on Swan Song as well. McCammon is my favorite author for this genre. Dean Koontz got a little way too out there for me, but Watchers is one the best novels I've ever read. Some of Koontz's recent novels are pretty good so...

I'm a definite Torchwood fan! But ... sometimes I just don't know what's going on with the Welsh crew. They're really a mess at times. My attachment to each of them goes up and down, but Capt Jack stays really cool. Love the coat!

"Ummm ... that's a name from Alabama, right?" ;)

LOL - my favorite style is whatever my university instructor requires! As late as this past summer it has been MLA.

Obama is an ethnic Luo name with origins in Africa. "The Luo (also spelled Lwo) are a family of linguistically affiliated ethnic groups who live in an area that stretches from the southern Sudan, through northern Uganda and eastern Congo (DRC), into western Kenya, and ending in the upper tip of...

You can't go wrong with a classic HF author like Anya Seton. Especially if you start with Katherine. That novel is the one that inspired many readers to begin a lifetime's worth of HF reading. BTW - Katherine de Roet is the longtime mistress of John of Gaunt during the 14th century and the...

I'm married to a Davidson - his parents were from Scotland. He plays his Great Highland bagpipes at funerals. They are the ones with the mouthpiece that a piper blows into to inflate the bag, whereas the uilliean pipes have a bellows thingie that is pumped with one arm to inflate the bag...

I'm with you on the strings thing! I've played piano since 11 or so and could never stick with learning guitar or violin because of the fingerpad pain. The piano keys felt too different and I didn't want the interference. I can't live without a piano in the house, and love my conga too! I...

I enjoyed the first (The Golden Compass) as a fantastically imagined adventure. I'm planning on seeing the movie tomorrow. I liked the second a good bit, but not as much as the first. The third wasn't as adventurous to me as the others and got so much into the author's philosophical views that...
