Hey everyone! I know that the writers strike has gotten a lot of publicity in the past week. TV shows will soon run out of episodes to air and many have already begun reruns. Some new shows have been cut already because there is...

When I was a freshman in college our English literature teacher told us of a book that changed his life. Since he said this I decided to read it as well. It indeed was a very profound book in many ways. I found that I cried and...

tryxiness I find Paulo Coelho's THE ALCHEMIST to be something worth life-thinking. I am trying to change how I view things. I am trying to do it slowly but surely. :)

I've noticed the increasing excess and over-exuberance in holiday decorating. Already in September it looked like Christmas. Valentine's Day seems to come February 1st etc... I'm just curious if anyone else has an opinion on when...

zigzagbuddha Anytime before Thanksgiving is too soon in my opinion, and I don't think I'm alone there.

dreamy1 I absolutely hate that, especially in stores. It seemed like the day after Halloween they put the Xmas decorations up. I didn't even see any Thanksgiving decorations. I feel like they're trying to rush my life away. I don't decorate for the holidays but if I...

wiccania I personally subscribe to the 1 month rule. 1 month before the holiday is when the decorations should go up, at least in homes. Communities I accept earlier because there's often a lot of planning and work that needs to go into it. Stores... well... I don't...

Is it just me or are the attempts to change up the formula of the show coming off as contrived and stilted? Case in point: last week's episode where Charlie rushes to Amita's rescue. It was hard to swallow and just to not real....

goinliveinfive I personally appreciate the way they're branching out and showing these scenarios from different perspectives. If you hadn't oticed, Charlie's life has changed quite a bit over the past few years, not in the least relevant of ways his relationships. I...

Why do you like the Nero Wolfe stories so much? And are you a fan of the various t.v. series or only the books? For me the books and the series represent a time when things in life were more simple and women's roles in society...

zigzagbuddha Yeah, it was definitely written in an era when roles were more clearly defined, but that is not why I like the books and the show so much. I am a woman, but it is the "Archie Goodwin, the tough guy detective..." that got me hooked. And I love how his...

I have to Nero Wolfe mysteries that I appreciate the most for different reasons. The first Some Buried Caesar I love because it is completly different from a lot of the others. They are out of New York and it is the first time...

zigzagbuddha I have read the Nero Wolfe books that I have again and again. On one of them Lena Horne says she rereads them as well, that they're like an old friend (something like that). I feel the same way. I don't have one favorite... they're all my favorites! Even...

Have you noticed how hunters that hang around the boys tend to meet their worst nightmares? I mean think about it. Those two at the beginning of this season, one of them got posessed and the other one had to kill him. They...
