Hi - I just joined your little tribe here. I read a lot. (Proud to say I do not own a TV.)
Now reading 'Anna Karenina' now. And a book called "Orality and Literacy' by Walter Ong.
Cheers! ./bc

Re: Hi I'm new here.
Tue, December 16, 2003 - 6:34 AMI will be the first to say Welcome Betty!!
I hope that you enjoy our little tribe!
I am currently reading The Wayfarer Redemption(6 book series) by Sara Douglass and To reign in Hell by Steven Brust.
All are exceptional books and I highly recommend them to anyone that enjoys reading.
Live simply, so that others may simply live...
Peace

Tue, December 16, 2003 - 8:47 AMHi Betty and Birkie... so glad to see both of you here. I am currently reading a bunch of books and articles about prostitution in the US and abroad. I live in Vegas, and there has been talk about legalizing prostitution within Clark County (where Vegas is seated). I plan on writing an article about the legalization process and the non-apparent pitfalls if it is not done correctly.
Before I embarked on this process, I was reading "Madam Secretary," Madeleine Albright's memoirs. It was an excellent read.

Tue, December 16, 2003 - 8:50 AMWasn't Walter Ong a mentor to Marshall McLuhan? On that basis have been curious to see what the connection between Orality and Literacy there might be and The Gutenberg Galaxy.

Thu, June 3, 2004 - 4:52 PMhi there. me too.
i usually dont get as much time for reading as I used to (sigh), but I have to take a bibliovacation every once in awhile. i don't have a TV (have never paid for one) but lotsa books.
currently rereading Stranger in a Strange Land, because I recommended it to somebody, who hated it (first time Ive gotten *that* reaction) and I'm looking to see what was so vile to her and/or what was so redeeming to me. I think I'm succeeding at both missions. -
