Re: Are Audio Books Harmful?
Maybe it's not exactly the same thing, but I grew up listening to radio shows and dramas, loving them and I turned out just fine :) I would still read of course, but radio was something different, gave me a different kind of satisfaction. I actually feel sorry for the next generation that they'll be...

Re: Just finished reading...
Just put down "The space between us" by Thrity Umrigar. I've got a feeling this one will stay with me for a while... It was a choice of No Obligations Book Club some time ago... It's basically an Indian version of "A thousand splendid suns" which ought to be a sufficient recommen...

It was haunting that G deliberately chose the most dangerous place to commit suicide. He really wanted to make sure he didn't mess this up, right?

Re: Part I: Gatekeeper's Testimony, The Bride, The Fossil-Seeker
Thank you for your understanding Lindad_Amato and I do apologize if I sounded a bit rough earlier. I absolutely loved the paragraph how the Fall was calling out to Gilbert and how our character was pondering about the waterfall bringing peace to tortured souls since ancient times. I did find it poet...

Re: Part I: Gatekeeper's Testimony, The Bride, The Fossil-Seeker

I'm good to join in now since I'm on a sick leave for a couple of days... Just started reading today and it seems that I might get into this. There was only o...

Try these books when you get older and you might have a different opinion. It's not just that they were mandatory reads. Scarlet Letter - I could not f...
