- RE: I HAVE DECIDED05/12/2008 - 17:16That is ONE PURTY PIX! But yes! Do get a Laptop. A while after you do, and you're used to it, you'll wonder how you got along so long without one. Luckily, at my place, I have both. A "big whopper" of a PC in the "family office", but a laptop for when I'm on the road, or at the beach, or skating, etc.

So I'm the only one here that takes the book, and then LIES and says, "I read it?" (I'm like the other poster who said she "reads" enough of the book so she sounds like she knows what she's talking about).
On a similar note, I stopped lending out my books, for no matter how good that particular book might have been for that individual's situation, the books didn't seem to make it back to my personal library for some reason.
- 05/06/2008 - 10:11I think so, definately. Instead of relying on a false image from, like, say, a telly broadcast, reading MAKES you "get involved" with the main character. By doing so, you consider yourself. What would YOU do in that situation? What are YOUR values about that issue? How do YOU feel about "such-and-such" or "so-and-so"? Does YOUR opinion of "xxxxx" need to change? YOU accept the characters you read about. In turn, you accept yourself and come to the realization you're a pretty good egg.

- 05/04/2008 - 18:49I've always been a person that reads. Both my parents were religious school instrructors, so I read the lessons so I could answer the questions correctly (Plus me folks quizzed us on what we read). Also, free-time was "reading time". Reading has always been fun, and I had several books about planes and trains. Additionally, in those days, reading was a MUST in school -- not reading lessons would cause one to be spanked by the headmaster (that's when kids were spanked -- but that's another blog). I didn't start reading "romance books" until about six months ago. I've tried Popular novels a time or three, but could never get into it. The romance genre is interesting and the bookks are faster reading, thus better for me to understand.
- 05/01/2008 - 22:08It would be Superromances (I feel I get a lot a bang for the buck with them) good, "clean", interesting, heart-touching stories that aren't super-duper long to read, but traditionally longer than Romances.
- 04/30/2008 - 20:59What a much needed and timely blog! Literacy is very important to me, and reading is something real close to me heart. I will forever bless me parents for instilling in their children the drive and desire to read -- and that their children were able to pass that desire on to their own offspring. To me, reading is something "elementary" that, as a child, I believed all families did. At one time we were too poor to own a television, so we all read instead. Later on, in America, our church movement did not watch or own television, so instead, we were encouraged to read. While I was in High School, the "young people" at my local church (which was quite large), on average, were two years (grades) ahead of the other children at shool that watched television as opposed to read (that average still stands today).
