what are you reading?

The Pennsylvania part of the Appalachian trail is a bit west of me. If you do decide to do it, stop by. I'll buy you a beer.

I really do intend to do it one day... so I'll hold you to that, Rich!

And I really intend to buy you a beer (or however many you want).

hahah, okay James. I promise. Nothing bad.

Ill do the same, the AT is about 30 minutes west of me (I'm in Charlottesville, Virginia). Ive crossed it with my jeep a few times, walked an hour or two of it. Different friends of mine have have done everything from day trips to week trips to almost the whole thing.

I just started "zen and the art of motorcycle maintainance"

I´m going to reed some English garter books

Thanks again to Rhea

[drache]

hey
is that the book with the garter that has the cricket in it's mouth?
you do kind of look like the birthday boy in the photo

I just started reading "the Amulet of Samarkand" by Jonathan Stroud because I haven't gotten to the library yet and it was laying around . . .
it's not bad, once one gets through the first couple of pages - I'm intrigued
but I'm planning to take my book list, generated from this thread, to the library, and take a look at some of your faves

btw - I also really liked reading
The Climb by Boukrev and Into Thin Air by Krakauer (back-to-back)
and more recently The Last Season by Eric Blehm (about the search for a missing park ranger)

I ´ve found that picture in two books at all but have to say:
It looks like a fake.
I ´m still just wondering if the snake was still alive when the photo was taken, it is defenitly not trying to swallow the cricket.
I´m concerned that there are so many pictures used in different books although good pictures should be avaliable as a mass.

The Secret Garden is always lovely.

Has anyone seen the movie, Miss Potter?

It is the life and romance of a well known author... a really great story, not childish stuff as I thought it might be...

[drache]

I love The Secret Garden

I totally got into a bunch of Enid Blyton when I was a kid, but they seem to be completely unknown in the US

I just started reading Freilandterrarien für Schlangen (free range terrariums for snakes) by Martin Hallmen - riveting!

Udo, DHL, and the USPS made X-mas come before Thanksgiving this year
and it came just when a little cheer was needed
so I have a lot to give thanks for

thanks Udo - I am floored

I just finished reading "the Life of Pi", by Yann Martel
what a great story
I was a little disappointed with the ending, and then I realized that it was appropriate
