Where we discuss good books, occasionally read books and series as a group and other stuff I guess.
Rules
Nothing Inappropriate
Have FUN!!!
sure, but which one. the memoirs the complete edition or some other work?
That is my question as well.
Possibly... I'll have to find the book I had again. I was starting to read it, but than I lost it before I even got past the stories from "The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes". I have to ask our Grandma's cousin's daughter- sorry, my second cousin once removed (I think)- for permission, though. The library is her room at the moment.

You know, I’m probably the only guy I know who would seriously read through a set of encyclopedias or a dictionary. It’s actually quite entertaining!
I don't know, I got a set of encyclopedias one Christmas. I have no idea where they went though...
We’ve got a World Book set, and we owned a Brittanica Micropædia once. We ended up selling that one.
I didn’t really want to get rid of it, but an entire set takes up a lot of room.
Sherlock, I LOVE that book.

I used to love reading one of our dictionaries for fun! It had a lot of helpful word remembering tips. 😄
I read SOOOOO much and when I read a word it sticks with me, including the spelling.
The way you can tell someone who reads a lot? They have the most extensive vocabulary around, but they can’t pronounce half of it correctly!
I read, watch tv, and listen to audiobooks so I learn how to pronounce it.
SCVII: That's me! 😂
I got made so much fun of by Slim because I used to pronounce the "g"s wrong in elegant and legend, but it wasn't fair, because Slim read laughter like lotter.
And 'tis true, I have an extensive vocabulary! 😂
"Actually, I've always had a rather extensive vocabulary, not mention a superlative command of syntax, and a phenomenal grasp of grammar. I've simply chosen not to employ them."
I think that's how it goes...

I’ve only ever seen portions of Little Rascals, but the “oldies” always rule!
I posted this on the Christian Mecabricks Discussion Group awhile back, and I figured I might post it here.
Books I suggest if you want to learn more about Christianity, are questioning it, or you're an atheist, Mormon, Hindu, Muslim, or anyone looking for answers. And just really good books.

Ooh! I love Pilgrim’s Progress, and all 7 Narnia books! I’ve never read anything by Ham, but I love his radio mini-series!
Add in LOTR, C.S. Lewis and J.R.R. Tolkien and another guy were good friends, they had a contest to see who could make something more christiany. Narnia and LOTR were Tolkien and Lewis's works.
I think Lewis won... but Tolkien made a crazy cool world.
SCVII: Pilgrim's Progress is AMAZING!
The New Answers are really good, at least the one I've read. It answers a lot of questions.
And of course, Narnia is INCREDIBLE.
