Is Admin on vacation, do you know? I haven't heard anything about my Persuasion summaries or quiz? I was wondering if he got them?

@Iain Sparrow--Hello, fellow Floridian! No, actually...the only calls I get are my mom's creditors. Yeah, like right--how many people return those calls. However, whenever I have a problem with an...

Well, I'm not talking about just books. Do you think zombies would enhance sporting events, or maybe customer service? Of course, if they were in customer service, they would have to be a zombie...

I have to say, adding zombies to classic literature--in my opinion--just makes those stories of old so much better. In fact, inspired by other authors who have already done this...I've decided to...

Welcome to the forum!

I have to say that I felt that way about maybe four books in my life. When I was a kid, I was introduced to the joy of reading when I bought Ramona Quimby, Age 8 at the book fair. Ramona had...

I haven't read it either, and I don't think I'm going to see the movie because I'm not willing to call up old demons. I hope this isn't frustrating for you that people who haven't read it are...

Thanks, Manichaean! That was a lot of fun!

I've been here since 2010, but probably only a few people know me because I pretty much stay in the Writer's Lounge where I post summaries and quizzes for LitNet. I've done most of the works of...

Me too...but with my gene pool, maybe that is a good thing.

I forgot to put soap in the laundry when I washed it. I didn't realize it until they were in the dryer, and I didn't feel like doing them again. I was wondering--since I was at the...

Oh, yay! You did explain! I replied to my birthday thread before coming here, by the way. Now I do vaguely recall Pompey. I read all the Shakespeare plays, but now I don't remember any of them...

Thanks, everybody! Nice to meet you, Pompey Bum. I have to say, I rather hope you'll do an explanation on that thread about what your screen name means. ;)

Thanks everybody! It is nice to know that even though these days I spend my time in the hidden corridors of the forum--yes there are hidden parts--I'm still remembered.

This birthday was a nice...

Happy belated birthday and congrats on the Phd!

I used blogger.com myself. I really like it. It is very user-friendly. You can also put ads on your blog so it can make money, which is nice. I've never used Wordpress or any other site, so I...

Well, it is interesting. The other day, I was reading a blog...and they were talking about why people can be influenced by cults to kill themselves. They said they found that the people are not...

This drives me crazy. When I analyze my inner conflicts, I find I mull over things that really are not worth the effort. I give people I should just kick to the curb side in my thoughts too much of...

Happy birthday!

Well, the thing is, I enjoy the book...but I admit I'm just getting a little bored with Levin. I don't even know why the book is called Anna Karenina. It should be called Konstantin Levin. From...

@Lykren--I haven't finished it yet, so right now I can't appreciate that. So far, where I am at, Levin had enjoyed working alongside the muzhiks. Then suddenly, one day he becomes disgusted with...

I have to admit that Tolstoy injecting his political philosophies into a story can get rather irritating. It can be interesting as far as it can give you a concept of what was going on at the time,...

Done! And with its ability to reason and self-reproduce, it builds an army of bridges and destroys humanity! (Think of the irony here, we always think to make the world a peaceful place by building...

True. I often find that I prefer the less popular titles of an author. I don't know if that means I am contrary. For instance, with Dickens--I prefer The Old Curiosity Shop and Little Dorrit. ...

I read Cashelmara and found it to be quite good--though that was some time ago. I think she loosely based the story on the lives of Edward I, Edward II, and Edward III. However, the characters were...
