I just found this FABULOUS thread by checking out one of the scrolling boxes on the home page or "New Posts" or some similar type place.
What a list. I've seen hundreds but that one is Primo. In fact I printed it out. I have lots of then on my TBR "someday" list actually and that's probably why I am so hyped up. For example, I'm waiting for a really good translation of Don Quixote. Can't wait to read that one. Just my cuppa.
So that list is now underneath my Oprah Book Club list. First I MUST to read all of hers (I've already read at least a third of them. Nirvana! When that is done, then this list. I'm am totally blown away. I want to thank whoever post it. It makes all the other lists I've seen look shoddy.
Don't mind me. I'm going away now. {{tip-toes out quietly}}

I went to a bookstore and asked the saleswoman, "Where's the self-help section?" She said if she told me, it would defeat the purpose.

Re: WOW!! This is just too cool to be true.
What did you think of the translation of Don Quixote that we read on booktalk a couple of months. If you have not read it I think that that one is a good translation. In my opinion, it is an enjoyable book to read.

Re: WOW!! This is just too cool to be true.
Thank you Suzanne. Love your smiley's. What song are they playing? One of my favorites I hope.
I'm looking for an "Innocent" one, you know, like I am {{tongue firmly in cheek}}. I found an angel with wings on page 3 but that's not quite it. One with a halo might do it. Do we have any of those, if you know? I looked twice but then I have 3 cataracts and am severely myopic.

Re: WOW!! This is just too cool to be true.
The pig is delicious. It has very little defenses and its skin is very soft. It fattens up with deliciousness extremely quickly. Pigs are domesticated so they don't mind being around people. Their heavy weight and short stumpy legs mean that they can't run very fast. They are a meal waiting to happen. They just oink and that's pleasant to hear because that means dinner is close by. They eat almost anything and turn that into delicious meat stored inside them for your future consumption. The pig doesn't have a foul odor nor does it need special attention. A pig just wants to eat whatever you may have laying about and then after eating it wants to lay about to become food that you have laying about.
