According to what I read this morning on CNN...the US told no one. I could almost picture Obama sitting around not really caring about the wedding he wasn't invited to because he knew what was about to happen.

That being said, I hope there isn't any sort of retaliation that is severe. I hope there is none, but if there has to be I hope it's learned of before it's to happen and stopped so people can just stop dying for stupid causes.

The world we live in is sometimes so messed up. I've found it hard to joke about anything lately...

Ellie James "unlikes" royal weddings.

Ellie James "likes" trees.

That's so true....I forget about Kinky as anything but an obscure choice for governor sometimes.

Thanks for the reminder.

Well, Ellie, do NOT get an airport novel. They're all the same. Literally. No, no... literary! Hahah.

I would like to say To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee, but that's banned in some Southern States for the word 'nigger' in it.

I would say The Economist, but that's not a book. That's a newsmagazine.

Here are some non-fiction books: Malcolm Gladwell - "Blink"

And some fiction: Jostein Gaarder - "Sophie's World"

If only I had gotten this message before I went to the airport book store. And, here, you can't get to the airport books store without first having to go through security, which meant I had to buy a ticket. So, I bought a ticket to the cheapest place possible. Oklahoma. If only I had read this beforehand it would have saved me from buying the most expensive crappy book EVER!

You are writing for a Spoof site, so you would probably enjoy something with a little humor, satire, or irony in it.

If that is the case, then I would recommend:
Catch 22 by Joseph Heller
The Dortmunder novels by Donald E. Westlake (humorous caper novels)
Just about anything by Kurt Vonnegut (especially his earlier stuff, like Slaughterhouse Five)
The Fletch, Flynn, and Skylar series all by Gregory McDonald
The Hitchhiker's Guide series by Douglas Adams

Thanks J-man....I have a friend who has read all of those and has been after me for years to read them as well. Maybe I should take his advice more seriously. I tend not too since I've known him since we've been kids.

I KNEW you would mention The Economist....which I read on line the other day just to see what the big deal was. So. there.

Monkey Woods....I guess my point of asking is that I'm trying to branch out and spread my literary wings so to speak. A few things on my Kindle are:

Squirrel Seeks Chimpunk by David Sedaris
Eat, Pray, Love by Elizabeth Gilbert (mainly because I want to see the movie one day, so I need to read the book first)
Sh*t my Dad Says by Justin Halpern
The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes
The Girl with the Dragon Tatoo by Steig Larson (because everyone I knew was reading it, but I still haven't found the time)

Plus, a dozen others that I would be too ashamed to mention....

I'm a single mom....so I don't have a lot of time. But, this summer I want to read things I've never heard about before and should have.

I am in need of good literature to read. Anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks!

Good thing I don't go to bars....with lines like these I'll be single forever.

Where did you park the car?

From English, to Latin, to Swahili, then Finnish and then back to English...

Tibi currus to create a park?

Here's mine: I started with English then to Chinese, Czech, Spanish and then back to English....

Amigo!
