I absolutely loved the way the author narrated the story in The Kite Runner. Has anybody read any thing else by the same author?

IdahoGirl This was such a wonderful book - so many important themes, so much emotion. I often cried as I read, couldn't help it and couldn't put it down. This is one of the few books that I read twice, and it was even better the second time. I have been waiting for...

IdahoGirl I keep the house cool at night, so during the winter sometimes I'm freezing when I go to bed. I wear sweats and socks too. But actually I can't STAND to wear socks to bed; they get all twisted up and keep me awake, so as soon as I warm up, off they go (in the...

I like the novel written by Shakespare. But I can not realize what he said: love all, trust a few ,do wrong to none. Maybe I've never been in a situation like what he experienced before.

IdahoGirl Absolutely! It's a great game for seniors 50+, even for beginners, I think. Of course, it's even better if you've played at a younger age, so you don't have to learn it from scratch. Once you get the various hits down, it's just a matter of making yourself...

IdahoGirl Oh my, I love badminton too. I wish it were more available to play. Here it is more of an outdoor, casual, backyard summer sport. I played singles and doubles indoor badminton in college, and that really got me fired up about the sport. I like volleyball best,...

IdahoGirl I'm not sure I understand what you mean by serviced. I have served! (ha!) I have also umpired youth volleyball games, but it is not easy to do. It's hard to see everything in a fast moving game of power hitters.

IdahoGirl Find a group to play with, making sure at least someone knows the game well and can teach you how to hit the ball properly and some game strategies, and you will learn to love it. It's not a hard game to play once you know how, and it's not hard to learn...

IdahoGirl What to you mean "kiddios stuff?" Are you suggesting that volleball is a kiddy or kids' sport? Not on your life - watch Olympic or college volleyball sometime. PS I hate soccer! All that running, and for what? Usually a score of 1-0 or maybe 2-1. Arrgghhh!

IdahoGirl So true... that's why I like playing the front row, especially. Nothing like a good KILL to make you feel better about - whatever - right? A good hard overhand serve helps too, espeically when it's an ace!

IdahoGirl The only way to get better is to play. I've seen it myself, I've helped players who said they were not "athletic," or were "afraid of the ball," etc. Now, they play regularly and are greatly improved.

IdahoGirl Yes, so true! You can't be a hero in volleyball - it is imperative that you all play together as a team. In fact, a perfectly completed play involves three hits - the pass, the set, and the spike (or kill). This requires total cooperation and teamwork....

IdahoGirl I enjoy watching it on TV but much prefer to PLAY! The best volleyball, of course, can be seen at the Summer Olympic games; both indoor and beach volleyball. Love it!
