The Lovely Bones was my favorite book in the last 10 years (of stuff written in the last 10 years).
I liked it, but I was really annoyed that the inside cover blurb gave away the climax of the book. That colored my experience, I think. Although I'm not sure that I would have felt differently about said climax had I not been vaguely expecting it. I read it a few years ago, so, like ita, my memory of it is hazy. I own it, though, for some reason. In hardcover, even. It may have been a dollar or free or something.
It's so odd to see brick after years of none!
I too like the first house in the expensive group.
I'm home sick this PM.
I don't even bother torturing myself with house prices in ex-Bay Area.
I used to look at house prices near me, and even went to one open house. No more. I can't imagine what could happen in my life to make my neighbourhood a possibility.
I hope you're not too under the weather, Kat.
I'm hoping I didn't know there was a Gor movie.
I took Nyquil AND a sleeping pill last night and I was still up every 45 minutes.
Please let my car start and not do another routine like it did this morning.
sarameg, did your car have trouble turning over when you were starting it? Often that happens because the battery terminals get dirty. If you have a wire brush you could remove the battery cables and clean the terminals and cables where they attach to the terminals.
I read the Lovely bones and was eh on it . The end was odd
using another girls body to have sex--just odd
and I read lots of xanath books but I like puns
The phosphoric acid in most dark sodas (coke, pepsi, RC,..) do a really good job of cleaning battery terminals and cleaning off battery corrosion in general. Dampen your wipe with coke instead of water...
