    The purpose of getting your degree

    Where do these people come from? "I just got out of college, now give me a damn job! NOW!!!" Way too much instant gratification. I tell you McDonald's is ruining our society.

    Forum group dynamics

    Perfect example why tabbing over 5 spaces before starting a new paragraph is taught. And a blank line. But, I didn't find it to be unfriendly at all. Rather it was just ranting and raving. I guess that's what forums are for... sometimes.

    Trivia...Up For It?

    Sweetums. Name a Hogwart student with patronus of hare.

    she deserves it

    What amazes me the most is that when I speak about HP with my coworkers, they tell me that their children who need to be told to read books doesn't need to be told when it comes to HP. I've asked my kid to read it once more, and he spent the whole day and more catching up on the series. I...

    Amazon Kindle - Who has it? Who wants it?

    There's a lawsuit regards Kindle: Amazon sued over Kindle deletion of Orwell books - Yahoo! News For deleting a book, without authorization, that's bought by customers. Amazing. Almost like Fahrenheit 451, without the Firemen.

    The Most Important Book Ever Written?

    Isn't that what happened with Louisiana Purchase? Bought Indian land by paying Napoleon.

    I think I have just been mentally scarred for life.

    Sounds like 20 questions and possibly more. I'll throw in the first question. Is it bigger than a breadbox?

    Books about life planning

    I don't think there is one book that covers all aspects of a person's life. But, you can start with Tony Robbins. He has few books and DVD's that may help.

    Name some book that boys would like to read.

    I have a son who is about to leap into reading 'long' books. He said he read all the Harry Potter series. He also read Fablehaven and Candyshop Wars by Brandon Mull. He then would re-read his favorite series, Magic Tree House Series. But that seems 'too short' in my opinion. And, he read...

    The end of America's love affair with cars

    It's ironic how I detested my dad's Ford, where I always went under the engine to change out the water pump, starter, or something. And the Ford, living up to it's name: Fix Or Repair Daily, how I hated it when it stalled in the cold winter months. I hate to say it but, we try not to...

    Books like Catcher in the Rye

    When I was reading The Catcher in the Rye, I was reminded of atmospheres of The Hotel New Hampshire by John Irving. I guess it's because of all the young people in both of the novels.

    Looking for books set in San Francisco

    4th of July by James Patterson is set in SF. Not sure if others of the series is also, for I've not read others except for 4th of July. I'm not sure if you're going to be traveling by automobile, if so Salinas is not too far from SF. Many of Steinbeck's books describe the area near Salinas...

    Looking For Help With Picking a Summer Reading Book...

    The Crucible AND the Death of a Salesman (If you haven't read it). In that order, since I think the Death of a Salesman is better. :) And both are pretty short. Oh, didn't realize you had to read two from the list. 2nd one would be either McCarthy or Hemingway. Last choice for sure...

    the shack

    I read the book. I liked it. But if you're turned off by Christian theme, I think you'll have hard time finishing it. Just saying it as I see it, maybe I'm wrong. Just borrow the book out of your library. Read a few pages and return it if you don't care for it. I recently saw the...

    Star Trek

    There has been many Star Trek movies. I like to watch them. But how about Dr. Who? They should make a movie on that! Um.. do you know Dr. Who? I recently found out, many young folks don't know Dr. Who. I guess I'm old. :(
