I highly recommend it, even if you are not into Japanese culture and history.<BR/><BR/>Note - if you don't find Japanese women hot and have some in your area, please send them to me.Granthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08040058320473775641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13761834.post-33992687097819708272008-01-18T22:30:00.000-08:002008-01-18T22:30:00.000-08:00I have never read in the bathtub, but I regularly ...I have never read in the bathtub, but I regularly fall asleep with my light on, and wake up in the morning, the book still gingerly resting on my chest.<BR/><BR/>You have an interesting list of books.Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06979114933441527890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13761834.post-2991238226925521712008-01-18T12:38:00.000-08:002008-01-18T12:38:00.000-08:00I love books to death.

I wish it were different as I revere the written word and I love books so much! I TRY to keep them nice.... so DO NOT lend me books, just tell me what I MUST read and I will find it.Pol*https://www.blogger.com/profile/04155631508237131461noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13761834.post-42675094144786990712008-01-18T10:46:00.000-08:002008-01-18T10:46:00.000-08:00Never could perfect the art of reading while walki...Never could perfect the art of reading while walking.

And, like you, I love to re-read old favorites.<BR/>I'm reading a book about Darwin and Alfred Russel Wallace (only one 'L' in Russel).<BR/>It's suspected that Darwin may have not given Wallace his due when developing "Origin" and that's where the controversy ensues.<BR/>It's GREAT! I love the stories around historical events. Brings the characters to life and gives depth to the time.Taihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03501421874989420807noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13761834.post-5512004133535918842008-01-17T07:09:00.000-08:002008-01-17T07:09:00.000-08:00Sometime in the last couple years, I went on a rea...Sometime in the last couple years, I went on a reading hiatus. I'm not sure why, just life changes, I think. New single life, new house to take care of, new people around me.<BR/><BR/>Oddly enough it's only been in the last 7 months or so, time that's been overwhelmingly busy for me, that I've been reading and finishing books again. Busier than ever and I'm squeezing in books?! It's because I'm so exhausted by 10 p.m. that I can only sit down and read for awhile.<BR/><BR/>Currently reading The Hummingbird's Daughter.Lori Stewart Weiderthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04601450336245218356noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13761834.post-61502962875625427942008-01-17T05:33:00.000-08:002008-01-17T05:33:00.000-08:00I wish I had some of your friends :)Let me know ho...I wish I had some of your friends :)<BR/><BR/>Let me know how the Jane austin book club is, I've been thinking bout getting that one.Melhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18313915258169857834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13761834.post-51165327085844035002008-01-16T21:29:00.000-08:002008-01-16T21:29:00.000-08:00Oooo!
