Some neat books this weekend

ten points! Naming tghe singer gets you ten more).

That would be Frankie Laine, of course.

Yes, "The Religion" is indeed rather bloody. Willocks is a
psychiatrist who once dated Madonna, we are told. A good read but I
do have to wonder about the movie- like addition of the young boy.
Rather like the addition of children to each of Michael Crichton's
"Jurrasic Park" movies. It seemed like the young lad was added to
make the book appeal to a larger demographic, not to enhance the
story. The blood and gore go with that type of appeal.

Probably the influence of Spielberg. In almost every movie of his he has
children as important main or subsidiary characters. Almost every film has
some kid in danger. It is almost a trademark of his. Take care

Hi Francis,

Longtime lurker. I just wanted to say how refreshing it is to read a
post about buying, collecting, the love of book no matter really what
the actual books are now that this newsgroup is so dead.

Thanks for all the posts

This newsgroup is dead! Wow, I didn't know that.

Eden is talking about rec.collecting.books, to which I cross-posted it.
Sorry.

Then I apologize to Eden for my quick reply.

Joan
Hey apology accepted.

The lesson might be to subscribe to rec.arts.mystery

Cheers

I envy you.

Penis envy perhaps?
Go lament about the penis you had cut off, you sick, perverted sexual
degenerate!
Sick ****s like you belong in prison.

Please do. This is a friendly group . . . most of the time. And we do
discuss books . . . some of the time.

Motion seconded. Hi, Eden, We also have some of your
compatriots in the group, Mique Burke, for instance. And
some Kiwis, Fran Read, for instance. And the group is
definitely not dead! Why wee just had a fine discussion of
how to serve red wine - including Australian reds.
