re-reading The Road by Cormac McCarthy he also wrote No Country for Old Men

I thought that was a brilliant film. Did he also write All the Pretty Horses?

He did write All the Pretty Horses Don't think I'll see the movie (The Road) even if Viggo's in it, too grim I want to see either the Men Who Stared at Goats how can you lose with George Clooney and Ewan McGregor or Pirate Radio which is supposed to be very funny and have lots of great rock music in it

Do you mean 'The Boat that Rocked?'

Yep the boat what rocked at midnight going a little off topic sorry this all I will write about it The Boat That Rocked (2009) "The Boat That Rocked" is an ensemble comedy in which the romance takes place between the young people of the '60s and pop music. It's about a band of rogue DJs that captivated Britain, playing the music that defined a generation and standing up to a government that, incomprehensibly, preferred jazz. The Count, a big, brash, American god of the airwaves; Quentin, the boss of Radio Rock - a pirate radio station in the middle of the North Sea that's populated by an eclectic crew of rock and roll DJs; Gavin, the greatest DJ in Britain who has just returned from his drug tour of America to reclaim his rightful position; Dave, an ironic, intelligent and cruelly funny co-broadcaster; and a fearsome British government official out for blood against the drug takers and lawbreakers of a once-great nation. Written by Production office It Rocked Indeed., 24 August 2009 Author: (xtreme.edgez@gmail.com) from Canada I have to say, that this is by far the most inspirational film I've seen to date. To feel the emotion, to care about the cause, to loath the oppression. Just the idea, that few can make a difference in this dark, depressing situation. it gives hope, it gives emotion, it gives life, but only if you can truly see it for what it is. It was an incredible tale, with many aspects of human flaws, and human greatness. We all have to believe we can make a difference, rather then blindly ignore the real problems. But if ignorance is your bliss, then sadly evolution as individual, is not The Men who stared at goats is based on true events of a psychic unit in the CIA and Army intelligence sigh

Stephen Kings "Under The Dome" And next in the list is "Twilight" yes, I'm gonna do it!!! Then I have several books about rituals that I want to read. And a book about Native American children, a school during the Gold Rush,and hauntings at the site written by a guy I went to high school with. I guess I better get busy reading and stop spending so much time working on surprises for my Lunatic friends in New York!!!!

(Thanks LR) Go for the twilight books YLD. I have an eclectic taste in literature but I can't read crap. My (wonderful) sister-in-law is the same. We both loved the twilight series.

Not quite reading these ones yet - just ordered them: Atlantis: Myth Or Reality - Atlantians were all very fine - but Lemurians were a higher quality and more into spiritual things - while the Atlantians were more into the science of things - which destroyed them in the end Sirius Connection - about the ancient Egyptians connection to the Dog Star

My son and I have been re-reading the Collected Work of Arthur Conan Doyle. Such interesting Victorian prejudice. But still a great read.

Oliver Twist.

The Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam Come fill the cup and in the Fire of Spring The Winter Garment of Repentance fling The Bird of Time has but a little way To fly - and Lo! Bird is on the Wing And look - a thousand Blossoms with the Day Woke - and a thousand scatter'd into Clay And his first Summer Month brings the Rose Shall take Jamshyd and Kaikobad away

I had a vellum copy of that. Not as good as Keats.

whao for the piece of poetry ! here is the book found from the same authors but a kindda tarot reading applied to a whole genealogical bunch ! didn't even know it could be done. Résumé : Cet ouvrage est le dernier d'une aventure qui a commencé en 1980 avec Tarot de Marseille (le livre de base) et qui s'est poursuivie avec Mythes et Tarots en 1983. Dicta et Françoise abordent à présent la ligne de vie et les majeures sur le plan généalogique. Que porte notre arbre ? De quels fruits nous nourrissent nos ancêtres ? Avec quels non-dits et répétitions nous empoisonnent-ils ? Il y a des fardeaux que nous n'avons pas à porter. Un travail complet sur les mineures est proposé aux lecteurs, facilité par une explication claire, ludique, étayée par de nombreux tirages (ce livre en propose plus de soixante). Les mineures sont le chemin de notre quotidien. La ligne de vie du poète Arthur Rimbaud et de sa famille a été choisie comme exemple d'une interprétation généalogique avec les tarots et démontre qu'une quête trouve son origine dans la parenté avant de nous concerner ; nous devons bien sûr la faire vivre. Du Bateleur au Monde, avec comme fil conducteur le Mat, Dicta et Françoise souhaitent à leurs amis lecteurs de faire un bon voyage à travers les lames du Tarot de Marseille et de devenir à leur tour des chercheurs, de leur succéder et de les dépasser. Ces voeux sont symbolisés par la Force, couverture de ce livre This book is the latest in a journey that started in 1980 with the Tarot of Marseilles (the basic book) and continued with Myths and Tarot in 1983. Dicta and Françoise approach to this line of life and major genealogical terms. What is our tree? What fruit we feed our ancestors? Which unsaid and rehearsals they are poisoning us? There are burdens that we do not have to wear. A comprehensive work on the minor is offered to readers, facilitated by a clear, fun, supported by many draws (this book offers over sixty). The minors are the way of our daily lives. The lifeline of the poet Arthur Rimbaud and his family was chosen as an example of a genealogical interpretation with tarot cards and demonstrates that a search has its roots in the family before us concern and we must of course make it live. Magician in the World, with the theme LS, Dicta and Françoise wish their friends and readers to make a successful journey through the Marseilles Tarot cards and become researchers in their turn, they succeed and exceed. These vows are symbolized by the Force, book cover http://www.amazon.fr/G%C3%A9n%C3%A9alogie-tarot-marseille-Dicta-Fran%C3%A7oise/dp/2715220014 English, but It doesn't seem to have been translated. http://translate.google.com/translate?js=y&prev=_t&hl=fr&ie=UTF-8&layout=1&eotf=1&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.fr%2FG%25C3%25A9n%25C3%25A9alogie-tarot-marseille-Dicta-Fran%25C3%25A7oise%2Fdp%2F2715220014&sl=fr&tl=en the one I was speaking to was the first one only called Tarot de Marseille http://www.amazon.fr/Tarot-marseille-Dicta-Fran%C3%A7oise/dp/2715215150 here it is. french http://www.amazon.fr/Tarot-marseille-Dicta-Fran%C3%A7oise/dp/2715215150 English http://translate.google.com/translate?js=y&prev=_t&hl=fr&ie=UTF-8&layout=1&eotf=1&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.fr%2FTarot-marseille-Dicta-Fran%25C3%25A7oise%2Fdp%2F2715215150&sl=fr&tl=en

oh somethingdear to me posted once but that I do post again. the best French author of SFiction, another Peter, Bordage, ntranslated till now for economical reasons. Here is the summery of the link posted Pierre Bordage : Les Guerriers du silence. Terra mater. La citadelle Hyponéros. Edition : J'ai lu. L'histoire de l'humanité dans un lointain futur où elle se sera répandue dans la galaxie. Avec le pouvoir politique décadent, le pouvoir religieux totalitaire et le troisième pouvoir qui tire secrètement les ficelles. Le pouvoir religieux est particulièrement bien vu avec sa haine pathologique du corps et de la sexualité. Parfois un peu facile, mais prenant de bout en bout. L'humanité sera t elle sauvée de la perte de mémoire par les douzes justes qui se trouvent au cours de ces romans? Pierre Bordage: Wings of silence. Terra mater. Citadel Hyponéros. Edit: I read. The history of humanity in a distant future where it will spread throughout the galaxy. With decadent political power, religious power and the third totalitarian power which secretly pulls the strings. Religious power is particularly well seen with his pathological hatred of the body and sexuality. Sometimes a little easy, but taking from start to finish. Humanity will it be saved from loss of memory just the twelve who are in these novels? here is the sole translated part of his work, two first chapters of Terra Mater !huge http://www.mcelhearn.com/2004/08/29/the-warriors-of-silence-chapters-1-and-2/

maybe my favourite, that man is a visionnary writer inequaled in France and that should be used largely in film making, if the wall of tongue wasn't there to slow the process. Pierre Bordage : Wang : Les portes d'Occident; Les aigles d'Orient. Edition : L'Atalante. Et encore un Bordage! C'est de la sf proche, si la technologie a évoluée, on reconnait la géographie, l'histoire est imprégnée de l'Histoire. L'humanité est séparée en trois : l'occident où règne le dieu technologie, le deuxième monde, isolé par un rideau de fer futuriste, dominé par les mafias et les intégristes religieux, et les mutants cyber, réseau diffus de mutants cachés dans des ruches mais qui représente un pouvoir occulte. Comme toujours chez Bordage, il y a un héros (surhomme?) qui peut sauver le monde, rendre à l'homme son humanité et une belle description de la condition humaine. Pierre Bordage: Wang: The doors of the West Eagles East. Edition: L'Atalante. And another Bordage! It's close to SF, if the technology has advanced, we recognize the geography, history is steeped in history. Humanity is divided into three: the West where there is a god technology, the second world, isolated by an iron curtain futuristic dominated by mafias and religious fundamentalists, and the mutants cyber diffuse network of hidden mutants in hives but represents an occult power. As always with Bordage, there is a hero (superman?) That can save the world, to restore man's humanity and a beautiful description of the human condition.
