    M*a*s*h

    It's been a while since I've seen the show, but I recall Henry being a Lt.Col, not a general.

    Recommendations for my 11 year old little brother.

    That's what I meant. Too little sleep that day.

    Recommendations for my 11 year old little brother.

    Wheel of Time by Robert Jordan Ender Series by Rober Scott Card Darkelf Trilogy by R.A. Salvatore

    The firewall here at works upsets me sometimes

    It could be worse. I once got in trouble, not just blocked, at work (different job than now, btw) because the word "b00bs" was on the page.

    Your all-time favorite book

    For me, nothing beats The Count of Monte Christo by Alexandre Dumas.

    J. K. Rowling: Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows **CONTAINS SPOILERS**

    It's almost impossible to write anything that doesn't remind someone of something. For instance, the sword of Gryffindor being in a pond seemed very Arthurian to me.

    J. K. Rowling: Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows **CONTAINS SPOILERS**

    Not just that but the character that said it. Also, did Neville pull the sword from the hat? 'Cause before that, I thought Griphook had it?

    H.P.& The Deathly Hallows midnight party-to go or not to go?

    You got cupcakes? All we got was directions to the starbucks.

    J. K. Rowling: Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows **CONTAINS SPOILERS**

    Well, not what I was expecting, but still good. It seemed real rushed and jumpy to me, but she did have way to many threads to tie up in such a small number of pages.

    Politically I Support...

    I am about as conservitive as they come. One thing I have noticed about elections with a third party here in the States - the third party usually just ends up hurting the major party they are most like, i.e. Nader hut Kerry's chances of winning, even though most of the people voting for him...

    books on spies and espionage

    Well, I've read all Tom CLancy's books, and think thery're great. I've read about half of the James Bond series, and it's pretty good, if a little odd in the interpersonal relationship department.

    help choosing a book

    Well, of those, I would read A Farewell to Arms. However, you'll probably have to read The Great Gatsby evetually, so might as well be now. Honestly, though, that was the only book I ever cheated (read: Cliff Notes) for.

    J.R.R. Tolkien: The Lord Of The Rings

    Looking through the single volume I have, it looks like one story split into three "parts", each of which takes up two "books." It's all marketing as to whether you get in one volume or three, anyways. Some people are more likely to want three small(er) volumes, while others want one <Scottish...

    Will Robert Jordan Die before he finished wheel of time series?

    I recently started the first book in this series. Even within a single book, I find my self going back to that glossary for a reminder. Also, I think he doesn't fully explain some of the names, etc in the story, relying on the glossary. IMO, that's kind of a cop-out. Overall, though, it's...

    Elizabeth Kostova: The Historian

    I liked it. Not the best vampire book I've read, but not the worst, either.

    Alexandre Dumas

    I've been trying to get my wife to read Dumas for years, to no avail. Do any of you have a particular preference for translator/publisher for his work? I've read two different translations of the Count, and there are a few differences. Since I don't understand French (apparently those 2 years...

    Ian Fleming

    So, has anyone else read the James Bond series? What did you think? To me, they seem a little too short. I think there was a lot of plot development he could have included, but didn't. His interactions with women seem strange, but then again, it was the fifties, I don't know how it was back...

    What new TV shows are you watching?

    My wife and have been watching Raines. I really like it. It has a kind of film noir feel to it, and Jeff Goldblum plays a quirky guy with mental issues well (not really a suprise there).

    Gun Control

    The short answer is it depends. The long answer: -Each state has the right to decide its own gun laws, provided they do not conflict with any federal regulations. -The only kind of "gun licences" issued by the US gov't are to sell, or to possess "Class 3" weapons (suppressed, fully...

    Another shooting in american uni

    1) The guy broke a gun law today (probably more than one). If the current laws were enforced properly, this would not have happened. 2) To take away all guns a portion of the bill of rights in our constitution would have to be repealed, a bad precedent to have.
