I retired in March 2009………I began again making trips to the library shortly thereafter……..I had not done that for years and years……..now I go every couple of weeks and come home with at least 4 books. I LOVE IT!!!……….I’d sort of forgotten how much fun reading is!! I’ve discovered many terrific authors………Sue Grafton, Janet Evanovich, Debbie Macomber, Katherine Valentine, etc, etc.

Wow, the Origin of the Species sounds interesting, but I admit to being intimidated.

I’m not sure about the documentary discussion; do you mean you want a link to the thread where it was discussed? I think it would’ve had to have been at GDNNOP.

I have two books I would like to read someday:

On the Origin of the Species – Charles Darwin.

The Feminine Mystique – Betty Friedan

I just have to scrounge up the brain power I would need to read them.

I’m not sure where else to post this but does anyone remember a long time ago (maybe it was during gdnnop days) when we talked about documentaries? Well, I just now got the Up Series from the library and I would like to see some of the discussion that was made about this show. Can someone give me a link to that topic? Thanks!

I would love to read all the classics again. When I was in High School I babysat for a English teacher and she had all the classics. That was one of the perks of the job to read all those books, she had such a wonderful selection.
I would put some of the authors down but I am afraid my spell check wouldn’t work
