  I 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

  Hi 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.

  Wasn'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.

    hi 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.

      I just finished "Swallows of Kabul." It was a short, nice read. Now working on "Reading Lolita in Tehran."
