I stopped reading The Historian. I found it very dull and boring. Is there something wrong with me everybody tells me how good it is but I can’t seem to get into it.

While in my opinion these have brought good this in not necessarily the opinion of everyone and indeed future generation may view them differently. Indeed some activists are now campaigning to reverse things that were “changed for the good” in the past. I can’t speak for American history but in...

I'll have fries with that:) but hold the pickle

yes, I do have an opinion on that but that does not mean that I would not put the facts for both sides fairly. I will certainly rise to the chalenge and try to put forward the facts but give me a little time. I'll post tomorow.

Sorry novella but we got lost in altruism but that’s us just trying to be helpfull. I would disagree that many activists do good. They may believe they are and many appear to be doing good at the time but many activists of the past are considered today to be the villains of society. You...

Amy, don't cry just because you will soon be wizened and old and have failing eyesight, hearing and memory. Its still beats the hell out of being a teenager.:D

I don’t believe that there is anything as a truly altruistic act. It seams to me that what ever religion or system of ethics used and whatever political stance they take every human on the planet thinks that they are doing “the best” for themselves AND for the people around them. Whether doing...

Easy one, Hitler. and in a real sense a lot of people still are. and in the same vein Q: if you died today who would you like to come back and haunt and why.

Hi Hi Andy, welcome and happy reading.:)

They are mine and you can't have them I buy books! I occasionally borrow from friends but only if they give me one and tell me I can have it. You see the problem is I find it difficult to part with books. The library thing is right out as I always end up with fines for not taking books...

The idea of there actually being fiction and non-fiction is a matter of opinion as Doug Johnson says “some non fiction writers make up just as much stuff as fiction writers” I would add to this the fact that most “fictional” books take place in factual places or with factual people. We get books...

Excellent idea this wine thread. Excellent idea this wine thread. *There is nothing I like better than a glass (or 2) of red wine and sittting down to read on an evening. For my tastes a good Californian Merlot or a Chilean Cabernet Sauvignon. I can usually tell how good the book I am...

If you enjoyed the fun poking at the religious dogma then can I recommend Good Omens by by Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett, if you haven’t already read it. A damned good read and a particularly good time to read it with The Omen being re-done.
