    Ratio - 1:2:3:1 Ingeredients - Vodka:Beer:OJ:Red colored Gatorade I used to love screwdrivers. Now I twisted it a bit. It's pretty sweet. Sometimes it wastes the beer. :mad: But I feel better after drinking it! :D

    Books you've read before you had any knowlege of an upcoming movie based on the book.

    I read East of Eden. I knew of the James Dean's movie that was shot in 1955. After I read it, I heard something about Ron Howard was going to do a remake somewhere around 2007. But nothing came out. Now IMDB shows East of Eden with year of 2009. No other info found though.

    Fairy tales in electronic format-where to find?

    On my Itunes, I have Classic Tales Podcast. I don't know how I had found it - I had discovered it long ago. Try google-ing it. Also, search within itunes podcasts for it and other free stories for kids. The podcasts can be burned to a cd as mp3's or even cd's. I found the website...

    Mitch Albom

    The five people you meet in heaven was really good, and so was Tuesdays with Morrie. But, For one more day, seemed to be repetative and combination of the two earlier books. I especially did not like the idea of being inside of one dreamlike state: a conscious state within another dream, not...

    are you into audio books?

    While commuting, audiobooks make the traffic much easier to handle. And for my kids, I borrow audiobooks from a library and pop'em in the cd player, kids stay quiet. Don't need no games or t.v. in the car - t.v. invading into our cars :confused:

    Teaching boys and girls separately-good practice?

    I spoke about this subject before with my co-worker. And she had went to all girl school. She said that she liked it better because there were no one to be shy about or to impress and she felt that she performed better because there were no males in her school. And I can understand her...

    recommend an English book

    The Cricket in Times Square ~ George Selden About a cricket and a boy, who visits a Chinese man who gives the boy a cricket cage. It's a children's book. But I would recommend it for an English learner. It is a very interesting book.

    Books you would NOT SUGGEST to your kids. Why? At what age would you recommend it?

    Ok, I was reading the thread of "Books you'd never let your kids read" and that thread was beyond too long and seemed too harsh and had reached a point far too controversial in my pov. So I started this one, hopefully this one gets less emphatic. So, let's start with something easy...

    Please advise a book about fishes (for kids)!

    I saw that movie! I also saw Shark's Tale. Did they publish a book under that name - The Shark's Tale. Only fish stories I can suggest is of the Mermaid Princess. I'm not sure if a boy would like that. How about the Seven Voyages of Sinbad? That has some cool monsters. Then my kid checked...

    Teen Fiction

    Pirates! by Celia Rees - I think this was kind of romantic/adventure. Then there was The Witch of Blackbird Pond by Elizabeth George Speare, historical fiction that was very well written. And I think I had recommended this book before: The Book Thief by Marcus Zusak.

    I have a question...

    I had a similar situation recently. I had a one of my kids' book, a fairy tale book, and one page had glued on to the opposite page for some reason - you know kids. Anyways, I opened it up and it defaced some parts of the text. I went into Amazon.com and looked up the book and was able to...

    Harper Lee: To Kill A Mockingbird

    I read this book few years back. It is one of the most touching stories. Almost a classsic. It is a good thing that no teacher ever forced me to read this book. For all the books that were mandatorily read, i.e.: The Great Gatsby, The Scarlet Letter, and etcetra, I hated them all. I just...

    Markus Zusak: The Book Thief

    The book was chosen as #1 in the Editor's pick for Teens in Amazon.com for the year of 2006. The book was insatiably enjoyable. It still has 5 stars as an average customer review.
