Re: Book Reviews
I have just finished a two volume set of Sherlock Holmes. Nice thing about Sherlock is that the stories are short. I will start on volume four or five of Harry Potter sometime this week. I also like John Grisham stuff. While scrounging through my stash of stuff I found a harmonica. Went online and down loaded a couple tunes for harmonica. I expect the local symphony orchestra to come calling at any time now. Either that or the neighbors.

Re: Book Reviews
Or the cops....
BTW, if you like John Grisham, try Scott Turow, he's even better, I think.
I like the annual collections of prize winning short stories, or science fiction, or whatever genre - it helps to find authors that you like.

Re: Book Reviews
cheri, I don't quite understand your signature line: "JUST BECAUSE YOU HAVE ONE, YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE ONE" I've inserted anything I can think of, wife, Chevrolet, arm, brain, house, harmonica and I can't quite figure it out. "Friend" doesn't make any sense either. Help??

Re: Book Reviews
Prof...I think she means "the backside of a mule" 
I am finally reading "Marley and Me". Anyone with a dog will appreciate the humor. I love it!

Re: Book Reviews
I do not know if I could have survived having a dog like Marley my gosh he cost them a fortune in everything he tore up and also the training classes they went to. I laughed at so many parts of that book though on the things that darn dog did! Cried at the end though so be prepared.
Good Book!

Re: Book Reviews
I loved "Marley and me" too, and recommend it highly.
Prof: you can use any anatomical feature you choose, to fill in my sigline, but for public consumption, I prefer "pinhead"

Re: Book Reviews
Warned you!! Now have you ever read where the Red Fern Grows? Bob had never read it and does not really care to read so I got it in audio. Forgot about how bad the end gets and you should have seen him trying to drive through a city sobbing! It was really a cruel thing to do.
