Hi Bradams, Welcome - I've enjoyed reading what you've written, and hope you stick around. Second, I know that it can be quite a painful experience to lose one's faith.

Hi Everyone, I keep a Word file and a few notebooks in which I write favorite quotes or passages from books that I KNOW I'll want to reread. Does anyone else do this? What are some of your favorites? Here are a few of mine: "Of the seven deadly sins, anger is possibly the most fun. To lick your...

Hi everyone, Does anyone else enjoy reading about other booklover's and their foibles? One of my favorite bibliophile authors is Nicolas Basbanes, and his best book (in my view) is A Gentle Madness: Bibliophiles, Bibliomanes, and the Eternal Passion for Books. You will read about a man who "col...
