Has anyone read 'The Book Thief'
Comments (3)I think the Jewish twist might be going too far, but they made the suggestion that she wasn't the typical German child because of her coloring. I wasn't sure why it would be important other than to make her stand out from the others in the story....See MoreHas anyone read....?
Comments (20)Tre3, I completely agree when you say Sometimes being busy is similar to having lots of STUFF. I also do not believe in having things saved ''for good''. I want to use everything I have and it makes me happy when I do. What I've noticed is that I am usually the one who entertains my friends, who have often said they like to come here because it is more interesting than being at their house. I think they probably feel that way because I use my ''best'' things. It's part of my philosophy about Living Well. I do wish sometimes though that some of them had a similar attitude so I could be a guest for a change! Talley Sue, I have been known to just go find another bookcase! Since I recently purged some of my books, it did feel good to have the extra space. Perhaps I shouldn't confess my time at the bookstore yesterday, but there's a part of me that enjoys my ''library'' and having books around me. I just realized that with the exception of my kitchen, I have bookcases in every room of my home! I am finally limited to how many books I can keep now, so that's a good thing. Tina, I could probably use a fashion guru to tell me what clothes to throw out, but I really need one on the accumulation side. My favorite clothes don't make much of a fashion statement I'm afraid. Minet, those are all good questions, which I'm familiar with, since I've asked myself those same things quite often. I did like Organizing from the Inside Out and found it helpful when I needed to revamp my home office files. You're right about it being good for paper clutter, which I had too much of. teacats, I think it's funny that your DH doesn't think anyone lives like that in real life. I think he must have lived a sheltered (yet happy) existence! One of the exercises in The Not So Big Life, is to think about what inspires you. I asked my DH to give this question some thought this morning. Sarah Susanka suggests going back to your childhood and remembering those significant moments for a clue to discovering yourself. It's true that finding inspiration is what will move us to act on changing our lives. Her thoughts aren't new to me, yet a good reminder of how to open yourself to possibilities. There are several things I'm ready to see change, and I'm loving this book!...See MoreHas anyone read the books Cobra Event or The Hot Zone by..
Comments (3)I have read and enjoyed "The Hot Zone"... I used to work for many years in public health so was/am interested in all that stuff. Another book you might like is called "The Coming Plague: Newly Emerging Diseases in a World Out of Balance" by Laurie Garrett. This is a bit dry, but mostly interesting. She also wrote a follow up book called "Betrayal of Trust: The Collapse of Global Public Health", but I haven't actually read that one so don't know how it is to read. Here is a list of disease book titles that I have colleced (with help from Fridag here at RP): * Bathsheba's Breast: Women, Cancer and History - James S. Olson * The Colony: The Harrowing Story of the Exiles of Molka'i - John Tayman * The Ghost Map: The Story of London's Most Terrifying Epidemic - Steven Johnson * Limeys: The Conquest of Scurvy - David I. Harvie * The Malaria Capers: more Tales of Parasites and People, Research and Reality - Robert Desowitz * Man and Microbes: Disease and Plagues in History and Modern Times - Arno Karlen * Napolean's Glands and Other Ventures in Biohistory - Arno Karlen * The Plague and I - Betty McDonald (about her bout of TB in the 1930's) * Plague and Peoples = William H McNeill * Pox: Genius, Madness and the Mysteries of Syphilis - Deborah Hayden * Purple Secret: Genes, "Madness", and the Royal Houses of Europe - John Rohl * Quinine: Malaria and the Quest for a Cure That Changed the World - Fiammetta Rocco * Rough Medicine: Surgeons at Sea in the age of the Sail - Joan Druett * Sex, Sin and Science: A History of Syphilis in America - John Parascondola * The Speckled Monster: A historial tale of Battling Smallpox - Jennifer Lee Carrell * The Strange Case of the Broad Street Pump: John Snow and Mystery of Cholera - Sandra Hempl * Who Gave Pinta to the Santa Maria? - Robert S Desowitz * Blood and Guts: A Short History of Medicine - Roy Porter Hope that helps!...See MoreHas anyone read this book?
Comments (14)I havent read the book either but i also recall the story. Yes, there have been numerous stories of lost hikers on the AT and on its west coast counterpart, the PCT as well. Further, nefarious people on any trails are not new. If anyone read ’Wild’ you will recall the author was approached by some men, apparently hunters, while setting up camp one afternoon. She felt uncomfortable after speaking with them and as soon as she could, she broke camp and hiked on. I think this was also portrayed in the movie. My good friend rides trails, never alone. She had an uncomfortable feeling not long ago when they came upon someone just sitting in a vehicle smoking where they planned to start riding. Their plans changed very quickly, even though both were carrying concealed....See Moresleeperblues
