I lean toward BOTM. What's a Yarn?

Well, truth to tell, I am vastly overweight and BMI accurately calls it like it is -- also the target weight I once was and would be glad to be again. It is the first height-weight table I have seen that does that, so I am not about to dismiss it. :( PS I think it is exceedingly rude to call...

Hi Polly, Random thought: How about a Manga one month? Nother random thought: How about cycling through the book-related categories that BAR already has, one per month (active categories that is). Using a list of known categories might help organize suggestions/reading well in advance. Yet...

Welcome here, Member. Many of us here like the tolerant and liberal environment. With respect to the other forums, the safest thing to say is that each forum has its own personality and you take your choice. Hope you like it here. Jump in!

He went in, mingled with the other...

Well, that sounds like an unexpected impasse. :(

Well, I'll answer both your questions. First, I'll offer you the Communists as a party that was as fully capable of exterminating people including Jews, as we have seen under the Soviet regime in Russia. Imagine an alliance of Stalin and the German Communists, from Dear God in Heaven. Second, I...

I thought so too. But his Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man is much more approachable and also definitely worth a read.

You got that right. :) Welcome.
