I agree:) One of the best CHILDREN'S books ever written...but if you like space and time travel...check out A Wrinkle in Time..that is one of my faves:)....and the second one in that series.. A Wind in The Door.. loved that one too.. the third one was wayy out there:) later!- Sparrow

I remember we had to choose one of his poems from those books and tell it to the class.. thinking about those books brings back memories.. I also used to read ( and I dont know if anybody remembers these books at all:)..but I used to read.. The SuperFudge Series:..Tales of a 4th Grade Nothing, Sheila the Great..anybody remember those? some of the other books I remember reading were The Ramona Quimby series ( I didnt really get into those much).. I used to LOVE.. LOVE the series FEAR STREET by RL STINE.. I also remember reading The BabySitter's Club series and SleepOver Friends.. I also used to read tons and tons of ghost stories..I remember reading The Headless Cupid by Zilpha Keatley Snyder along with The Famous Stanley Kidnapping Case..and Ghosts I have Been and Remember Me by Richard Peck.. there were tons of books!!

Hey VOG:) Loved Wrinkle in Time too:).. Have you read any of the other ones in the series? A Wind in the Door was the second one and A Swiftly Tilting Planet...was the third:)
If you really wanna trippy subject we should all start talking about the possiblity of time travel and black holes in space:)
Later!- Sparrow

Hey Guys:)
Nessie:) Thanks for your suggestion, I personally have been into alternate theories of many different thoughts and philosophies.. I have heard about Jesus having a relationship with Mary Magdalene a long time ago:) It really is facinating.. for me personally, I dont believe in all that is written in the Bible- I think for the most part it is man invented and it is flawed, I think it is too contradictory, and even breaking down the translation of an ancient language such as aramaic ( which is the original language of the Bible).. is open for debate.. there are so many things to be honest with you that do not make sense to me... I have had many debates about this with people.. its always a good discussion..until I get Holy Roller people then they just want to condemn me.. but it is disturbing for some who take everything as truth without questioning it...once you get a person to question things it is unnerving to some... Dont get me wrong.. I believe in a God..but my thoughts on what God is and all that has no baring on what the Bible says..I better stop before I keep going.. nice talking to you!
VOG- Im already there

yeah Sparrow...this story about Jesus being married is something that's really fascinating to me too.
It really makes sense....why should he stay unmarried...he was a man after all! It's not that I think every man has to get married, it just would make sense!

I think he is a good author.
Anybody here read any books from Dostoevsky? Like Crime and Punishment or The Brothers Karamzov...??( from what I read from TBK is amazing!) Notes from the Underground? Just wondering... or how about Neitzsche? anybody read anything by him? There are so many books I want to get but just dont have the money or time.
Im currently reading..WICKED- The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West..and it is really good so far.. it is a darker side of The Wizard of Oz.. it explains the story of the Wicked Witch of the West whose name is Elphaba..it explains her background, her parents, why her skin color is green..ect..I can't put it down.. it really makes you question what makes somebody evil.. is it their actions or their intent? really thought provoking.
I also bought Charlie and the Chocolate Factory- I have never read it.. but love the Willy Wonka movie...
so.. is anybody else reading any good books?- Sparrow

Sparrow,,,Neitzsche is a very interesting person to get into =)
If I didnt allready recomend Paulo Coelho,,,
everybody should read the Alchemist,,,it is fantastic,,,even people who are too busy to read books, its nice and short!
So the alchemist by Paulo Coelho has my high recomendations
also im reading The Bell Jar by american Poet Sylvia Plath which is quite well written and interesting, im about half way through and would recomend that to people too. =)

Erish- What an interesting coincidence.. I have read The Pilgrimmage and The Alchemist by Coelho and both are very good. Have you read anything by Herman Hesse such as Demian or Siddhartha? Demian was amazing.. both very good books. I have read THE BELL JAR by Plath and that is another good one. Just out of curiousity what interests you about Nietzsche.?..he had a very interesting life and from what I have read, eventually went mad. Very complex and brilliant man:) |
