thank you for the vote of confidence icecream!!!! ps- i just love these smilies!!!!

i'm up to the 5th harry potter-definitely not going to make my goal of reading the first 6 before the 7th comes out- i've enjoyed all of them-i think they're so popular because of the fantasy aspect and that harry is a kid who's been put through alot and people respond to that- carm

doctor who- i've read most of stephen king's books and out of all of them my favorite is the stand- it's long but its so well written i think you'll enjoy it- carm

hi cath- welcome!!! this is a really great place so enjoy!- as far as authors go have you read the kite runner by khaled houssini- fabulous book- carm

most of the time i'll read on the subway going home... but once it stops raining and the yankees aren't playing i'll start reading on the porch- carm

hi laura and welcome!!!!!- carm

elbereth- i couldn't agree more with your asssessment of and the band played on- what struck me most about it was the absolute ignorance and stubborness about the american government when the AIDS epidemic was first diagnosed- im a social worker in a day program for people with HIV/AIDS and we lost two clients this week to AIDS related causes- sometimes its really difficult to work here but most of the clients focus on the positive things the people we lost havedone in their lives rather than focus on their passing- carm

the one book i remember not finishing is iberia by james michener- it was just tedious -carm

hi laura- welcome to a really fun place!!! books are just wonderful things to talk about... so glad you found us and again welcome!!!!!

hi all- the kite runner was fantastic- i do have a thousand splendid suns which i hope to get to once i get through harry potter

hello leona and elerbeth- welcome aboard!!!!!! this is a really great place with tons and tons of friendly people!!!

eleberth- i read and the band played on and i cried my eyes out too- i work with people who have HIV/AIDS and the book just begins to cover what my clients have gone through and continue to go through- so much has changed since that book was written -new meds, increased life expectancy- it really is a great book overall- carm

:mrgreen:hi roger and welcome!!!!!

my favorites of his are the stand and the green mile-the only thing of his i refuse to read is the book he wrote when the blasted red sox won the world series in 2004- as a life long devoted yankees fan i just can't bring myself to read that- carm:irked:

hi jean- welcome aboard!!!! i'm carm from brooklyn ny and am very glad i found this site- it really is a nice place to be!!

i avoid dean koontz and john saul because they're awfully repetitive in plotlines

hi littlelijah and welcome aboard- this is a really great place - enjoy!!! carm

hi and welcome!!!-carm

:mrgreen:hello victoria and david- welcome aboard!!!! my name is carm from brooklyn new york and i've been here for about a month- this is a really great place with lots of friendly people- a book i would recommend wholeheartedly is i know this much is true by wally lamb- the first time i read it i finished it in 3 days; the second time i took a little longer with it- it really is a fantastic book- carm

i must admit i have cheated on occasion just to see if i could figure out if the ending was what i thought it would be- i tried doing that with the bourne identity by robert ludlum but it was making me crazy cause i couldnt figure it out so i stopped- carm

welcome aboard sarah!!!! carm

i'm currently reading the harry potter series... but i have read the shopaholic series by sophie kinsella, most of the dark tower series by stephen king, the flowers in the attic series by vc andrews and the north and south trilogy by john jakes-carm

hi happyandandy- i've been a fanilow since 1974 and yes i have had my share of abuse from friends and family who refuse to see how magnificient he is... the funny thing is though when ive gone with said friends and family to his shows they all have a great time:D
