Booklist It's a little pricey, but I'm usually one of the first people to get new books when they hit my local library. :)

Adults can use whatever language they want to use. I usually watch it around kids and in public and I use asterisks when I post a naughty word.

Sofia: I think that is rotten. Just because a dog barks doesn't mean it's a maneater. That is just ridiculous.

I, personally, do not agree with banning specific breeds. I believe that how a dog turns out is a direct result of how it is treated and trained. Thanks for listening to my $.02. The Prussian

SFG75: Never. Robusta is robbery!. :D

Reading Doyle's "Sherlock Holmes" stuff is a great way to lose a few days. Go for it. You won't be disappointed.

My apologies. I didn't know that. Yikes.

I really like Vonnegut - CNN Article ~ A surprise hit for Kurt Vonnegut

I'm "deaf in the left", but that doesn't stop me. I've got to have my fix. :)

You may want to post your question at Biblio as well. Their forum has quite a bit of information regarding antiquarian and rare books. The Prussian

I understand your confusion. Unreasonable wages are ruining business. There is no doubt about that. Paying someone $30 per hour to pop rivets is absurd. The union I belong to has not negotiated our contracts in good faith, so we are literally decades behind the cost of living. I work in a...

Everyone who has posted in this thread should read the book I just finished reading: Betrayal: How Union Bosses Shake Down Their Members and Corrupt American Politics - Linda Chavez and Daniel Gray You will be floored.

Are Audiobooks Cheating? No, listening to audio books is not cheating. You are absorbing the substance of the piece using a different sense. When I visit my mother, who lives halfway across the state, I listen to a book. I would go bonkers if I didn't. Keep listening!

Party of One: The Loner's Manifesto - Anneli Rufus As I posted in another thread, I read a library copy then buy the book if I like it enough to keep it and read it repeatedly. Someone finally wrote a book that describes my life. It was a surreal read.

My av reflects my heritage - the Pommern region of Prussia, swallowed by the bigger brats on the block. SFG75: Until I had my first semi-heart attack, I was a huge cigar fan. Burn one for me. The Prussian

Yes, we know.

I like this show but I have only seen it through Season 4. I was disappointed with most of that season's episodes. I found them either dull or disturbing, so much so that I may not watch Season 4 again. I hope Season 5 is an improvement. I agree with an earlier poster's statement regarding...

That was a great book. I especially enjoyed the reenactor's comment regarding the hardcore rooster.
