When I typed Carey Cash into the library catalog (open in the next window ;-), I felt bad for him that his parents stuck him with that name! (Book isnt there. Is it new?) ha! i had not noticed the name... Lt. Carey H. Cash... the book is not new... 2005... it is really good... makes me love and respect the USMC even more...

Those are lovely books - I have them all and reread them constantly. I so agree. However, I could not sit through a single episode of the BBC series based on the books. Herriot, Siegfried, and Tristan just didn't look like I imagined them to be. It was like watching impostors!

You’re right! All of the James Herriot books are enjoyable reading. The BBC series was fairly well done, too.

“Signature in the Cell “ and “Darwin’s Doubt” by Stephen Meyer.
Truly an impressive tour de force rational attack of evolutionary theory.
I was a believer in Darwin with some nagging doubts. These two books turned me into a total skeptic.
These are must reads for anyone with any interest in the origin of life and it’s “evolution “ or “design”.

Isnt Walt Whitman, Bill Clintons favorite author.I have no idea. Anyway, if Bill Clinton said he was, it's surely a lie, just like if Bill Clinton said Tuesday came after Monday.

Very interesting. My father had a book, which I read, about the Battle of Midway written by Japanese Navy officers. Fascinating.

This will be a thread to bookmark! I'm reading
The Worst Hard Time by Timothy Egan. It's an account of the Dust Bowl of the 1930s.
Also 77 Shadow Street by Dean Koontz. I'm just beginning to get into his novels. I recently finished The Taking, which convinced me Koontz is a conservative Christian (Catholic, as I found out).

"Whats your favorite Shakespeare so far?"
I've read a lot of them eons ago, and frankly I'd forgotten how bawdy his comedies were.
Have been a King Lear fan forever, though holding off on the re-read because I want to read it again so badly....(the reward at the end of the effort)

“Kafka on the Shore” by Haruki Murakami. A difficult book to describe. It’s got everything from an old man who talks to cats...to discussions of Hegelian philosophy...to Col. Harland Sanders pimping girls in a back alley.
I’m not sure the author is going to be able to tie this bundle up in the end, but it’s got plenty of bizarre twists and that’s keeping it pretty entertaining.
