<DIV>Jeanene, I've always pictured you as a 17 year old, well, really a 23 year
old. Then, I remind myself you are really 40-something and a grandmother. I
wouldn't touch the Twilight series, but I have been rereading Robert A.
Heinlein's <EM>The Moon Is A Harsh Mistress</EM>, one of my all time favorite
books. Who else could restore the good name of Revolution, honor July 4, make
bombing North America look good, and put on a national flag the principle
TANSTAAFL, in one story? (In case its out of style, the acronym means There
Ain't No Such Thing As A Free Lunch, something we will all need to keep in mind
while adopting universal medical insurance and stimulating the economy). Nothing
makes for a successful revolution like having the Warden's computer on your
side.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Otherwise, I just ordered <EM>A Traitor to His Class</EM>, a biography
about Franklin Delano Roosevelt, and <EM>Death or Liberty: African Americans and
Revolutionary America</EM>, by one of America's greatest historians, Douglas R.
Egerton. I still have to get around to John Adams (mom got me the CD for
Christmas), and finish <EM>Becoming Eichmann</EM>. Still thinking about getting
<EM>Jewish Pirates of the Caribbean</EM>.</DIV>

<DIV><FONT color=#000080 face=Candara size=4>I am half-ashamed to say that in
the past three days I: finished Twilight in less than 24 hours and
re-read it the next day, was ravenous and finished New Moon in less than
a day, and am currently reading Eclipse. This is the series of 4 books
written by Stephanie Meyers and on the reading list of every young
woman/teen. I am fascinated by the premise and have loved every minute
detail of Edward, no scratch that, I meant the story. </FONT><FONT

barely remember the feelings the author describes so
vividly.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT color=#000080 face=Candara size=4>I might have to buy book #4 since
my daughter is still reading it in California and wouldn't let me bring it
home with me today. I had a three day visit with my one and only granson
Shawn who is 20 months old. I also visited with his parents, but the
trip was really only to see and play and read with him.</FONT></DIV>
