Looking for someone who has read either "Wise Blood" by Flannery O'Connor or "White Noise" by Don DeLillo. I'm not asking for homework help, I'm not in school. I've recently read both and want to discuss them.

Somehow my boyfriend's been suffering from an abundance of spyware, pop-ups, and god knows what else. Ad-aware isn't doing a thing and SpySweeper will pick up Ad-aware's slack, but it keeps having to remove the same things. If I posted a log tonight, is there anyone who could help us out with...

Is the media following the war or the war following the media, we had "shock and awe" now it looks like we have "wash and go". Political statements blow hot and cold, the media report it public opinion reacts to the headlines just as political policy go's off in a whole new direction, we say...

My co-worker (A Christian fundamentalist) and I have constant debates "over the office partition". His latest volley came from a blurb on his Christian radio station by Chuck Swindoll (cheating in my book - he did no research or thinking - he just heard this on the radio and parroted it over to...

I came across the following quotes on another website: I have not yet read this book, but am looking forward to doing so. From hearing others talk about the book, the quotes don't strike me as being correct. Are they taken out of context or something? Thanks in advance. James

Anyone here read "Life of Pi" by Martel? I would be interested in hearing thoughts on it. Lurker

Had an interesting night out...started with trivia, ended up with an acquaintance trying to read my palm and telling me that I was "strong, but soft-hearted". I tried to tell this person that I held no truck with mysticism, but he was very sure that he was right. We could've gotten into a huge...

The New Book by: Moore O'Reilly Franken Colmes Ingraham Coulter et al I was at the book store tonight and the nonfiction rack was full of this stuff. Tell your ghostwriters to put away their wordperfect and stop filling up my bookstore with your crapola!

I'm reading If on a winter's night a traveler. Anyone read Cavino before? I'd like to discuss the style.

As an antithesis to "The worst book you've ever read" I'd be curious to know what were the best? For me, there are so many to fall into the Best Category. In SF, it would have to be "Dune" by Frank Herbert. It was an epiphany for me. My father forced me to read it (practically at gunpoint...

This was originally written and performed by Rowan Atkinson. Some of you may have heard it before and it may be posted in here somewhere else. I don't know. The Amazing Jesus! And on the third day, there was a marriage in Cana of Galilee. And it came to pass that all the wine was drunk. And...

Mine would have to be Atlas Shrugged, by Ayn Rand. I think it might have been more interesting if it was in a language I don't understand.
