Re: Fan The Flames (3:42pm June 20, 2016):

Read just another chapter--that is my favorite procrastination!

Re: Kill Devil (3:38pm June 20, 2016):

One of the fallacies that continues to persist is that evil can be recognized easily. If that were true, mankind could isolate and contain those who are about to commit evil. And it is especially true because of the fact that evil can sometimes be a consequence of other acts that in and of themselves may not be evil.

Re: Driven to Temptation (3:29pm June 20, 2016):

For food--almost anything chocolate. Non-food--estate sales--I rarely buy anything, but I like looking at the lovely (sometimes not so lovely!) goodies, but every once in awhile there is something that I want. Can't really say I NEED them though!

Re: Close To You (1:58pm May 4, 2016):

There is something disturbing about a person (child or adult) who continually spats the dummy.

Re: Murder in Morningside Heights (1:38pm May 4, 2016):

My days are generally full. I have a full time job, but on a school schedule, so am looking forward to a summer with few job responsibilities--there are still a few. I am a grandmother who has major care of her grandchildren and a husband who is disabled. Not much free time!

Re: Love Walks In (3:58pm April 16, 2016):

I might like to try something like a hot air balloon, but not if I have recently seen one of the things that can go wrong on the news!

Re: Love Redesigned (1:11pm December 17, 2014):

One of the joys of reading is to be able to enjoy and learn about other countries, cultures, etc. So of course I like to read about other parts of the world (outer space too!).

Re: Make Me, Take Me (1:08pm December 17, 2014):

There are a lot of things that would make life much more difficult and/or depressing if we didn't have them, but knowing a little about the resilience of the human spirit and the sheer stubbornness that keeps people going, I fall back on the bare necessities of life that are necessary for survival. Of course, just having them might make it possible to survive, but not necessarily to WANT to survive.

Re: Hard to Come By (3:47pm November 26, 2014):

The only book I remember reading which had an amputee hero was an older one, Wild Swan by Celeste deBlasis. Since the primary character was his wife, and the time was the Napoleonic Wars, the concerns about amputation might have been much the same as now, but the treatment and the adjustments were definitely at a different level.

Re: Play Me Wild (3:40pm November 26, 2014):

Reading is one of those things that if you love to do it, there is always time found to do so. I am afraid that I believe that those who say they never find time to do it really don't want to read that much!
