i can read anywhere with anything going on around me.. as someone else said, maybe growing up with three little brothers helped me... sometimes i come to with someone waving a hand in front of my face, i haven't heard them approach or greet me... i don't hear my name called at doctors or...

ummm.... i think it makes a whole lot of difference what you believe to be true... i still see no historical basis for the jesus myth... i cannot see it as a 'fact' at all... like i said previously, dates and authors for the gospels is a debate all on it's own...

i should bump this one up in my TBR pile...

which event was that? are you talking about the jesus myth? debate is strong over the dates for the gospels, 40 years after that event is only one of the dates put forward for one of the gospels.. i should look it up, but i think i remember one of the favoured dates for the writing of even...

most every day... depends on the book tho, some books have me enthralled, and i read non stop for as long as it takes to finish... others i read for a few hours, and then do something else.. i like to get my household chores done first.... now that it is winter here, i like to read in the...

i really liked High Tide in Tucson, and i have Small Wonders as yet unread.. i don't think i would enjoy Poisonwood Bible from what i have read here..

have you ever heard of the Epic of Creation? also known as The Enuma Elish, an ancient Sumerian sacred text.. seems whoever wrote the bible, or at least parts of it, has taken much of that work, edited to take out a few references to most of the multiple gods the Sumerians believed in, and...

thankyou! still grinning... loved this...

i think i would be a definite Sara Douglass fan.. i have all her books except for her non fiction book titled The Betrayal of Arthur, only because i haven't seen it anywhere yet... i have enjoyed all of her books very much, including the Crucible series.. but just because i have enjoyed them...

no.. i don't think games are a waste of time.. it's just another form of entertainment to me, along with reading books and watching movies.. for younger children, games can be a source of educational material, and also serve to further their logic and problem solving skills, and hand/eye...

i know there are weird people out there, and dishonest people as well, and we should all be on our guard for that reason.. but... i met my husband on a chat BBS 14 years ago now.. before the internet! we have been married for 13 years, and are still very happy.. it can work. :)

i don't think it's necessary to have read Dracula first.. this book stands alone. i enjoyed reading this book. it kept me turning pages to find out what happens next, and that's one of the things a book has to do for me. i am glad i don't bother with reviews or hype or anything like...

good to see someone else listed Brian Lumley, enjoyed his Necroscope series.. and Clive Barker.. how about Peter Straub?
