"Froggy Goes to the Doctor"

would anyone like a brief synopsis?

The Velveteen Rabbit with my 3 year old...and it's pretty deep.

I'm thinking of getting The Da Vinci Code from the library tonight to start on (not with my 3 year old). I know, I know, the library? Even $5 from Sam's is a bit much for me to pay for a book.

I love having books just for the sake of havign them. That said I am certain I will have another read throug classics such as Olivia, Goodnight Gorrila, and The Friendly Firefly tonight.

"Man's Search for Meaning"

"An introduction to Logothereapy"

Viktor E. Frankl

Has alot of content at the beginning of the food rations, approximate calories consumed, what they did for labor, etc, among the thousands of jews in the concentration camps.

"When the last layers of subcutaneous fat had vanished, and we looked like skeletons disguised with skin and rags, we could watch our bodies beginning to devour themselves."--Victor Frankl (concentration camp survivor).

Sounds like an interesting read. I was mesmerized when I read "Night" by Elie Wiesel. Have you read it?

No I havent, Gooch. What is it about? I will put this one on my list to purchase.

Its quite interesting what happens to the human body, when the "element of personal choice is removed and the availablity to get it", the body will act according to design not matter who you are.

It's his account of surviving the Holocaust. It's only about 100 pages, you can read it in a day, but it's very powerful.

I like reading the Psychology behind things and how people react to environments that are controlled removing personal choices while in intoxicating conditions, but are still able to overcome them.

I will do a search on it and pick it up.

Hook a brotha up?

I have read it, we found it in with my grandfathers war stuff after he died. He too was in a prisoner of war camp, his brother was the first driver in when it was shut down. It wasnt the same camp as the book. It was a camp called bergen belson (sp)

I just finished blood work and have started the Poet. Both by Michael Connelly

I read "Night" In the 10th grade. Good book.

I currently have finished all Tom Clancy novels and have no clue of any other good military/spy authors.

I don't read books. IF I wanna know something its Wikipedia. If I wanna see some fiction or anything like that Youtube.

But my favorite book is "My brother Sam is Dead". Read that like 3 times.

Not sure if WW2 is of interest, but David L. Robbins' " War of the Rats " is pretty good ( set in WW2 / Stalingrad )...as are his " The End of War " & " Last Citadel "

I just had to post one of my favorite email forwards:

Currently reading John Grisham's 'Playing for Pizza'

Nothing to do with the law or lawyers - its about a quarterback who, due to reasons beyond his control, finds himself playing in Italy's American football league. A nice read, and a refreshing change from his usual fodder.
