One of my favorite stories set in Egypt is Aida by Leontyne Price. It is also a famous Broadway musical, which is the original format in which I heard the story. Aida is about an enslaved princess from Ethiopia and an Egyptian general. The story is very beautiful and powerful and I would recommend it to anyone looking to read something set in Egypt. It may not be what you are looking for because it is directed towards a younger age range, though. Hope you find what you're looking for for your sister. http://search.barnesandnoble.com/Aida/Leontyne-Price/e/9780152015466/?itm=6&USRI=leontyne+price Otherwise, have you looked into any of the Sisterhood of the Travelling Pants books by Ann Brashares? They're partially set in Greece and aimed at a Young Adult audience. http://productsearch.barnesandnoble.com/search/results.aspx?store=BOOK&WRD=sisterhood+of+the+traveling+pants+series

You, my dear, are a reading beast! Care to share some tips of how to tame and train the mojo?

Rise- The Frames

Okay, I've updated the Rory List onto a Word document but it's going to take me some time to create an Excel spreadsheet because I have to enter in all the books one by one and I'm feeling too lazy to do it all tonight. If anyone is interested in having a copy of the Word document feel free to PM me your email and I can send it to you. I'll let you know when I finish the spreadsheet Also, Janet recommended this great free software that you can use in place of Word that is compatible with all sorts of files called Open Office. If you're interested you can find the free download here: www.openoffice.org

A Dustland Fairytale- The Killers

He is a dream! Those fight scenes are great. I also love the lake scene with him and the Portguese girl in Love Actually. "I hope there aren't any eels in here, I hate eels." "Watch out for the eels." "AHH! WHAT WAS THAT?"

That's got to be so hard. If only we could come up with a 'cure' for them. Hopefully someday.

Are you trying to make it come out my nose now?

In the Ghetto- Elvis

Oh! That is a fantastic suggestion! I'm going to go watch some Bridget Jones tonight! That is one of my all time favorites.

Have you ever tried something physical like seeing a chiropractor or acupuncturist?

Familliar Taste of Poison- Halestorm

Would you believe you just made me laugh out loud with a mouth full of water?

Do you believe spelling really matters these days with all the text speak?

Do you believe in karma?

That sounds good! I'll have to put it on the 'to watch' list! You know, my movie list has grown almost as much as my book list since joining this forum?

It's one of those that can be watched over and over and not get old Never seen 4 weddings and a funeral, is it good?

I hope you start feeling better soon, madcow! Glad the tablets seem to be working for you.
