Love this woman - one of my favorite ladies of all time.

One of the most important figures fighting to keep net neutrality sacred, and the fat cat telecoms from screwing us over & ruining the Internet for their financial gain.

Always good to re-read when countering the removal or addition of "In God We Trust.." on federal monies or other documentation.

I could not put this down - I was enraptured with Eva and her uniquely alluring life. I was absolutely fascinated by all of the characters, but none so much as Melesio/Mimi. Eva is a gifted and enchanting storyteller, much like the author. I would love to read "The Stories of Eva Luna", as I would imagine it's as fascinating a read as the story of her life. I literally ate up this book - I started it one Sunday morning and had finished it by early evening.

A worthy and fun expansion to the awesome Sims 3 game!

One of my fave movies (along w/ "Freeway") ever since I first saw it (and watched it dozens of times) back in '95.
Looking back now, it's eerie how closely this story mirrored the future of the media (and reality tv) to come.

Saw her last night as Juliette in Gounod's Romeo et Juliette opera in New Orleans. She is amazing.

Rarely, if ever, do I "Like" something I've yet to personally experience (read, watch, etc.) but an exception had to be made here for a few reasons.

1) I've yet to come across a book about words, English, writing, grammar, etc. that I didn't like (I'm a word-nerd like that) and 2) I cannot wait to get my hands on this book *to* read it!

One can never read/study enough about grammar - especially if they consider themselves a writer of any sort - for there are always new things to learn (in fact, just today from an email - a daily writing/grammar tips list I'm signed up for - I had "restrictive appositives" finally clarified for me) and plenty more that's never bad to get reminders about (every now and again I try to revisit the ones I'm consciously aware of that tend to slip me up - such as the difference between accept/except, as just one example).

Those who delight in the written word and treasure the English language are constantly learning and remembering as well as improvi...

Always good to remember your history and where your ancestors came from...

Just started this; being laid up in bed & having gone thru the majority of my Kindle books most of last week while similarly confined. Downloaded a sample and simply had to purchase it. I was hooked after the first page and riveted after the first chapter. So far I have to say - 200+ pages in - that it's an engrossing, richly written novel that draws you in and keeps you turning the pages as the plot thickens, the mystery grows, and your curiosity mounts

<3 these guys...had no idea Markus "Spoon" Loffel had died (Jan '06). What a suck...

Together, these two were amazing.

Two talented siblings taking their own lives; so tragic - even more tragic, the poor children, Hwan-hee and Jooh-hee who have suffered through their parents' divorce, their mother's suicide 4 years later, and now their uncle - and legal guardian - taking his own life as well. And they are so precious - sookyeong.wordpress.com/2008/10/02/actress-choi-jin-shil-committed-s

One of my most-favorite people ever - he's #1 on my list of famous people I must meet before I die. I have all of his books, am starting to get his music (once I'm no longer broke), and get his Free Will Astrology horoscopes emailed to me every week (I highly suggest signing up for 'em - they are the best; none of the cheesy, random horoscope crap you read in most mags & newspapers - Rob's are the *real deal*, and I say that as a novice astrologer with over 15 yrs experience in the field).

Just love stuff like this - see if you guys, in the comments here, can come up with your own pangram and/or heterogram (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pangram)...

Being a self-proclaimed "font whore", it goes without saying that I have used "the quick brown fox..." phrase thousands of times when testing out fonts from my own collection.
To wit, I have over 5k fonts installed on my PC. My personal favorite for everyday, regular use is - has always been - Verdana.

Who said writing obits wasn't interesting? Learn about writing on the dead beat from some of the industry's top obit writers...absorbing read that you're sure to walk away extremely more knowledgeable about obituaries and obit writers.

Fascinating look at some of the greatest authors of all time. Really interesting tidbits and facts abound - I learned something new about even some of my favorite authors.
