A friend of mine likes Tom Lehrer and was complaining that an episode of Ally McBeal a few weeks back was a rip-off of one of his songs. It was the one where the guy cuts his wife's hand off...

yes, Helena, please
but Luna's right about "the road to mars", I liked it - read Rankin, too, and Eddings converted my mother to reading fantasy. I just plow through McCaffreys "Pern"-Series, I found some parts second hands that have been out of sale for a long time here...

Staggering under the weight of a tray of coffees, here you go coffee all round!
I liked some of the Pern novels, I think I've read nearly all of them, our local library had most! (So it was a good place to get ones that weren't available anywhere else!) I like Eddings, and as I mentioned before, Hate Robert Jordan for the sole reason that he won't finish this damn series of his until people stop buying them! And some of us want it to stop now please, its not fun anymore!

I would never give you the sack for wearing your bikini to work! I'm still not entirely sure how that thing stays on, but aside from that, I was just being curious!

Oh, never mind, diod i hear tom lehrer mentioned earlier, and if so, has anyone heard 'Poisoning pigeons in the park'?
The Book Club
Mrs V Posted Nov 30, 1999
The bikini is indeed a work of wonder, but I'm in my uniform.Far more sensible when handling hot coffee I feel...
Spring is here spring is here
life is skittles and life is beer
I think the most marvelous time of the year is the spring, yes I do
But theres one thing that makes life complete for me, that makes every moment a treat for me....
Every suday you'll see my true love and me as we poison the pidgeons in the park.....
I haven't heard that in ages, i don't have my CD collection with me here!!

Well thats what you get for owning a coffee shop with unlimited free cups!! I'm bettering myself, my current read is the Norten Anthology of English Lit. Particularly the 20th century chapter.

Hey! I know that book! I bought it for a class three yrs ago.
Which author(s) do you prefer?
Are you reading for class or pleasure?

Mrs V Posted Dec 2, 1999
Perversly, pleasure!! They had it in the library, and as icouldn't decide what book toget I got them all just about!! I love TS Eliot, and Virginia Woolf, and Oscar Wilde especially. Was most disapointed at the lackof dickens,there only one tiny little extract. I alsosaw the Tom Stoppard play "The real inspector Hound" played a coupleof years ago, its even more surreal then!! (Hands up who likes Eugene Inesco??)
