Obviously, I'm not an engineer, but I do work with them, so I should try again in the hope it gives me a better understanding of how they tick. Most are Russian though, so maybe I should read something by Dostoevsky, which heretofore I managed to avoid.<br /><br />I love your blog, Allison. Your posts are addictive. Thanks for putting me in your Top 7 and introducing me to your blogging community.

Probably, from experience, Enid Blyton's school stories may have been too good to be true. Anyway, that has not prevented me from writing a book on Enid Blyton, titled, The Famous Five: A personal Anecdotage (www.bbotw.com).<br />Stephen IsabiryeEnihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00209746639260312563noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2102491209284064200.post-72100582635237277912010-01-13T08:24:09.192-08:002010-01-13T08:24:09.192-08:00We just did Catcher in the Rye in my book club a c...We just did Catcher in the Rye in my book club a couple of months ago. It was OK, but I didn't love it. I understand it better with your explanation though. <br /><br />I left you a comment on your comment on my blog about my comment on your blog.

It's been several years, maybe time to reread and maybe I can pinpoint why I'mdrawn to it! Another is To Kill A Mockingbird. I don't know anyone else who rereads books.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2102491209284064200.post-41403669779855662102010-01-12T16:08:52.098-08:002010-01-12T16:08:52.098-08:00I was never a fan of Catcher in the Rye but it see...I was never a fan of Catcher in the Rye but it seemed like a lot of my friends in high school were obsessed with it. Hitch Hiker's Guide though, wow, I love that book. Makes me laugh out loud.

I felt I was somewhat of a fraud having a Minor in English without having ever read it. I absolutely loved it. Can't remember the details of it at all, no, but I thought it was wonderful. <br /><br />I've read and re-read Hitch Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy so many times it's ridiculous. Between grade 9 and my last year of university I probably read it at least every other year, and I've read it a couple of times since then, too. It just makes me happy.<br /><br />Amber, how were you allowed into engineering without having read Douglas Adams?!? You really must try HHGTTG...it's lots of fun.Mary Lynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12494494129741610999noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2102491209284064200.post-31506809627034068892010-01-12T13:42:14.543-08:002010-01-12T13:42:14.543-08:00The name of that dance show is brilliant.
And I a...The name of that dance show is brilliant.<br /><br />And I am feeling very behind in having NEVER read The Catcher in the Rye. Or, for that matter, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. In my defense I went to engineering school and had to read a LOT of physics textbooks. After that, all I was up for was Cosmo.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
