    Reading Camp

    Here is a thought: Get a copy of Ernest Hemingway's "The Old Man and the Sea", and also get the DVD of the 1958 movie version with Spencer Tracy. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00004YRID/103-1404912-0562220?v=glance&n=130 Read the book. Then watch the DVD. If you have trouble...

    Book chat room?

    Remember, once upon a time, long ago, in a far-off land, a lonely prince named MobiusX, alone in a dark forest, typed:

    Book chat room?

    In MSN, or AOL, or ICQ, one can invite many people to the same chat, and what starts as an IM becomes a chat room. The difference between those chat clients and Yahoo, is that you have control of exactly who can join and participate. So, if you had three people at TBF, or 5, or 8, that you...

    Book chat room?

    Look at it this way: MobiusX wants some kind of help, encouragement, fellowship, call it what you like. If SFG75 and I were to join MobiusX for an hour or so per week, whether it be in MSN, or Yahoo, or AOL or ICQ or IRC (I run all of them at once, much of the time), .... we would probably...

    Book chat room?

    I started to chat seriously, for hours each day, in Yahoo, in 1998, mostly in the Religion chat rooms. I saved and edited the dialogues, and over a period of 4 years created a 450 browser page website on the topic of "Interfaith Dialogues". There were also essays there, which were written to...

    Book chat room?

    If you sign up for a free Yahoo e-mail account/identity, then you can download Yahoo Messenger, and use their Messenger menu to join Yahoo Chat rooms. There is one room under entertainment for literature/books. I often visit there using my ID of literarydiscussions. Once in a great while, I...

    Reading Camp

    I am concerned by your statement: I can't even concentrate in my reading. Age 21 is young, but not too young for a complete physical with blood-work and urinalysis. Rule out any medical problems which might possibly interfere with your ability to concentrate. Be sure to mention to your...

    Humourous/Comedic Books, pre-1950..?

    One of the first adult books I ever read was "Larks in the Popcorn" by H. Allen Smith, a humorist. I have my original copy. Let me know if you need more info regarding it. Also, "Where did you go, OUT, what did you do NOTHING." (that is the book title) Also, "Please don't eat the daiseys"

    B. R. Myers: A Reader's Manifesto (criticism)

    Terribly sorry about the misinformation on Pynchon and the Nobel Prize in 1975. I purchased Myers' Manifesto yesterday and shall be posting more excerpts. He begins his attack my criticizing Proulx from the outset. And the very first sentence that he criticizes is in the very paragraph I...

    B. R. Myers: A Reader's Manifesto (criticism)

    It is a curious coincidence that my late step-grandfather-in-law was also named Myers (no relation to the author of the Manifesto). Grandpa Myers was an avid reader, and also an enthusiastic Anglophile who admired and emulated all things British. It took me a while just now to remember his...

    B. R. Myers: A Reader's Manifesto (criticism)

    I shall purchase Myers’ Manifesto this afternoon, read through it, and list those authors who receive negative criticism, as well as those praised. Stephen King’s book on how to write a novel mentions a list of recommend readings in which Proulx is listed twice. Proulx and King both...
