He lived only a couple of miles from me here in Memphis...
I met him a more than once before he became truly famous. In fact, he came and played at one our high school...
Romance Novels
If I wanted romance I would not pick the novelists today.....it seems that all these books are is one sex act after another tied together by a thin plot in order to call them books. And sex sells....and for some the dollar is god regardless of what it might fill anothers mind...

I understand how you feel about the run of the mill love storys by mills and boon...harlequin......long long time ago.....say 30 years ago, i read some of the Harlequins and that was back when they were more romance than blatant sex acts. I liked some Barbara Cartland and others but on...

Feel Good Reads
I take spells about my reading, however, if a book really touches me thru the characters or the plot, I keep those books.
these are some of my favorites because the plots, the characters and story line left me feeling good.
TIM........lady wrote the thornbirds and the only...
Morning Glory
This book by Lavaryl Spencer......I think I spelled it right.......was a good love story. Wish someone would read it and tell me what they thought.
Writers seem to through in some unnecessary stuff in order to attempt to attract more purchases....and she did do this in a small...
romance novels
In the past I read romance novels avidly.
Note, the past.......When I realized what problems the thought stimulating process caused in developing the yearning for romance like the books advertised, I knew they were more trouble than the stimulation of the needs I was...

Dunes
I read DUNES way before the movie. It was a book I found I had to keep going back to the glossary so I could understand to what the language was referring.
I liked it for the most part although it was not an easy read. Like THE NARNIA CHRONICLES, there was a message behind the...
Book Forum
Yes, it is a book forum and I thought about that when I wrote my rely to the statement regarding THE PASSION
As I have gotten older I have the tendency to respond without always going back to the beginning of the programs to see the rules.....I just picked up on the current...
just PASSIN THU
the PASSION.......Danny glover....LOL......lethal weapon.....not the passion....
The PASSION was meant to convey to mankind what Jesus suffered that we might have the right to say ABBA to the Lord God and not be zapped.
Jesus lived and died that we might receive pardon...

I am a senior who has been reading avidly since my fourth grade teacher did me the favor of telling me I could not read.
I could read and recognize the words and the meanings of the words but comprehension and retention was to what she referred.
Ticked me off because I KNEW I COULD READ...
Class
Admitting to misconceptions and making corrections in attitudes makes this a very nice place to come.
I ain't perfect yet........life is a series of phases.
BOOKS.........I love them
sometimes I read for escape
sometimes I read for the hunger and need to grow
sometimes I read to...
romance.....
I would need more run down on the plot to begin to search my readings to help.
But I am an avid reader who has been around 1000 years and have some great good books for romance and not just bed hoppers.....good stories with interesting, intelligent characters......I like some...
have you read TARZAN
I am older than dirt......grew up watching Johnny Weismuller play Tarzan.
Was an adult before I read the series.....I am not too old to enjoy. I have all the series now.
Watchers
Some hollywood idiot tried to make a movie of WATCHERS and it was unbelievable what he did to the movie in changing the plot, the characters and the message....had I been Koontz, I would have cloned a monster to "eatum" up that producer.
The golden retriever was cloned to be a spy...
