Reading, seeing and hearing Part 2

[QT Pooh]

I recently started reading editoreric.com's 1000 books you should read in your lifetime. I'm reading a lot of different things I wouldn't have normally picked up and read on my own. I'm only 10% through the list (anything I read prior to 5 years ago I told myself I would have to read again), but already there's been some wonderful stuff. Some of my favorites so far:

Pride and Prejudice - Jane Austen
Tobacco Road - Erskine Caldwell (the epitome of 'trailer trash')
Cousin Bette - Honore de Balzac
Silas Marner - George Eliot
Of Human Bondage - Somerset Maugham
Winnie-the-Pooh - A. A. Milne
Lolita - Vladmir Nabokov
Cry, the Beloved Country - Alan Paton (struggles of South Africa)
Ethan Frome - Edith Wharton
Misery - Stephen King
Goblin Market (poem) - Christina Rosetti

There are just so many good things to read out there! I wish I had more time!

Je suis tres heureuse pour le homme nouveau. Il est tres bon!

en francais stimulante is the feminine form of exciting. Stimulation...can be a creed and a goal, pour moi..... I'm just sayin'.....

pourtant blond, no?

I see your point and will agree, though the creed assumes the goal

 

[sheridac]

Sher Update!!!!

Said meeting pushed to 2:30. So. More(ish) play time for moi!!!

 

[Grammyof2]

Gram~how much wood could a wood chuck chuck was NOT the question!!!

My bad.

 

[sheridac]

My bad.

Yes. Yes you are.

 

[horsegirl]

pourtant blond, no?

Ah oui, c'est vrai et tres juene! Quel l' homme est le blond!

I see your point and will agree, though the creed assumes the goal

true, but unfortunately, one may not always attain the goal, despite having the principle or belief....such a pity..........





Chapster. Feel free to edit my french...but please use discretion by private post. I do have an ego. Not a fragile one, mind you, but one, nonetheless....

Allright. Knock it off.

No speaking French, Horsey. That's just rude. Cause apparently the only one who understands you is The Newbie. And maybe Mel. If she were here.

And another thing. What was up with yall last night? I mean THIS MORNING. Ever heard of getting any sleep, people? Sleep. Try it. It does a body good. (((SLAP))))

I had a little bit of a lousy day yesterday. Not as lousy as DD cause she got three shots and I got none. I just had to hold her still and watch her cry. Which could be worse I think. Anyway, she made it through and told her Daddy on the phone after it was all over in her most pitiful little voice that she felt like she got three "shark bites". But it's over and she's a big girl now. She is looking forward to the first day of school. Which is more than I can say for her Mom.

Hope the Georgia crew has a good time today at the mini meet.

Hoop There It Isn't: Where's the rest of the mini trippie? Did I miss it?

PasleaPooh: You know what to do.


La2 out.

La baby. Sorry you had a bad day my purple spangled lettered friend....or is it magenta?

There are others that understand the french, I'm just sayin'.... but I am just trying to make our newbie feel at home....don't want his brain atrophying or anything. A mind is a terrible thing to waste, you know.... Plus, now you can all tell your SOs that the DIS is educational....

Hoopster, please post some musings for us gals. I miss swooning over your prose and such. Horsey misses Hoopey....


Welcome to newbies latoberg and QT Pooh....do you speak french? Or do you like french wine or kissing? what is a latoberg? what does QT Pooh really mean? I feel inquisitive on this fine day......

 

[Grammyof2]

Horsey - The only French food I know is fries and I call them Freedom Fries now.

Oh yeah, the French eat alot of tonque. And if you keep speaking French alot of people are gonna give you a tongue lashing

Allons enfants de la patrie. Le jour de gloire et arrive...
Contre nous de la tyrannie, l'etondant ...yada yada yada...



Yeah, that's all I got. But I remembered it from 11th grade. Does that get me points, Horsey?
