The next fiction book scheduled is Wicked by Gregory Maguire. I've asked the community for fiction book suggestions and am still waiting for our existing members to get excited by the reintroduction of fiction. Wicked is a highly rated good read, but as of today I haven't seen much excitement by th...

George, I will definitely be buying your new book! Glad to hear you have written another, I really enjoyed the first! It may take me awhile to delve in, this month is very busy, but I will get to it.

This would be 2 a m for me. If I am awake I'll join the chat but this is highly unlikely. Not to worry, though. :) Would you be more likely to be awake for a 7 p.m. session (I guess that would be 1 a.m. your time)? I would have no problem moving it up an hour.

A friend sent me this, and I thought I would share it with any who haven't already seen it. It's a guaranteed mood brightener. Happy Holiday Greetings- The following link is a great Christmas jingle - if it doesn't get you in the mood for Santa Claus, you're hopeless. Don't know who did the graphics...

Richard Dawkins net is featuring a new DVD of a two-hour, unmoderated discussion between Dawkins, Christopher Hitchins, Sam Harris and Daniel C. Dennett. It's called "The Four Horsemen" and may be viewed on line for free. For those who are interested the info is at: http://richarddawkins.n...

DH: Here's another way to consider gift giving this year: an alternative approach. This year... Instead of giving more things, give more meaning. I'm not going to belabor this, but I resent the effort to highjack this thread and turn it into something it was never intended to be. My essay has nothi...
