  1. I was going to suggest this, but thought you or Gaia should
  2. He is definitely one of my favorite writers and yet, never ceases to astound me.
  3. Lol they aren't sci fi: Gone With the Wind, For Whom the Bell Tolls/ The Good Earth and A Scanner Darkly I've read a lot of Dick's canon though, I like his short stories too. I'm still not sure what I read when I read Flow My Tears, The Policeman Said lol
  4. Gone With the Wind! It's my favorite book and I seem to read it once a year
  5. Have him look up Phillip K Dick Edit: he'll never be the same
  6. Chaliepud- That's beautiful and comforting. I heard a story about a man who died and his dog was waiting for him. He had a choice of where to spend eternity, one place was a gorgeous house, wide green lawn, flowers, who thing- but his dog could not live there. The man turned it down because he couldn't live without his dog. Then he came to a shabby house with a bare yard, but he could live with his dog. He picked that place and it became beautiful, for he had proved what kind of person he was.
  7. He was a Kerry Blue Terrier. I'm such a mess. I'm going to try to read today, although I've been crying a lot and it's hard to focus. I tried starting The Cold Dish (The Walt Longmire Mysteries), but I'm also trying to read Leave Me by Gayle Forman.
  8. He passed away tonight at 20:10. Thank you for all your nice thoughts.
  9. I'm so glad everything turned out alright- what a relief! They give us so much and just want love.
  10. Thank you everyone, I didn't mean to take up the reading thread. Prognosis is not good, he is 12 and not much can be done. They gave him a week on Monday, but he's still with us. We're hoping he'll be with us for some Thanksgiving dinner
  11. I was enjoying Leave Me by Gayle Foreman, but I found out my dog- soul mate- has cancer and I've been too upset to continue. It's been quite the week.
  12. The ones I could come up with: Scarlett O'Hara. I've never read a character go through such evolution. June and Day from the Legend Trilogy. Robert and Maria from For Whom the Bell Tolls by Hemingway Bob Arctor from A Scanner Darkly by Phillip K Dick and Howard Roarc from Ayn Rand's The Fountainhead, but I liked Atlas Shrugged more.
  13. That HOI comic book was a lucky find!
  14. I'm glad you liked it! Now just waiting for the cataloguing...
  15. Yes, we have them here... I believe their name is because of the sound they make. I didn't finish The Paper Magician, it ended up being terrible. I abandoned it and started Leave Me by Gayle Foreman.
  16. Something Wicked This Way Comes- Ray Bradbury
  17. Have you read Behind the Beautiful Forevers by Katherine Boo? If you haven't, you might be interested, it's very good.
  18. Finally, FINALLY, the new Jack Reacher book will be out tomorrow, November 7th!
  19. Thanks! In the end, we went with Google's new Pixel phone. I'm having so much fun... remember, I've only had flip phones
