I'm very ashamed to say that I have yet to start the copy of War and Peace I bought...seems soooo daunting..
Just dive in & once you get past the historical background in the first chapter you won't be able to put it down.Quote:

Bout a doc who is serving in the war and his wife dies back home and he has a little baby to take care of .....just so many twists and turns when he thinks that his wife might have been murdered...
Now I am reading SIlver linings playbook...even though I have seen the movie twice I am enjoying the book.
I know I should read classis but at this time in my life with all that is going on I need light things to read...
tt
One of the best books ever written!!!!!Quote:

can anyone recommend a good all around vegetarian cookbook???
I have an old but well used book by Sarah Brown, which still appears to be available today.

I particularly recommend the recipes for hummus and pesto.
I have a few by Linda McCartney that I like.
I've decided to take a break from deep reading and am on "I'm With The Band"! :lol:
I like light, mindless reading during the summer. Let me know how you like the book Brooke. I have always wondered about that one.Quote:

It's nothing more than a teenage diary. I want the dirt and refuse to believe they were all so nice-- we all know better than that. I think she got more of kick out of the fact that she could name drop than anything. I almost feel sorry for her because it's as if she needed to sleep with these famous rock stars to validate herself. I never felt that way when I read some of the other "groupie" books.
Just my opinion tho. I'll be anxious to hear what you think of it, Brooke.
I read it a couple years ago, just needed something 'light' and it was handy!
Yeah, pretty much a teenage diary, but interesting to me how she just flitted all over LA as such a young girl. What were her parents thinking?
TBF, what other groupie books did you like? I also read Wonderful Tonight by Patty Boyd.
FYI - Graham Nash has a new memoir coming out called Wild Tales. Sounds awesome. Love reading those! :hilarious:
Hi Z - I know this request is from 3 months ago, but I just saw it. I've been a vegetarian for 14 years. Do you know that movie "Babe" about the pig? I have a book called "Babe's Country Cookbook" - it's a cute concept - after Babe wins the sheep herding contest, Farmer Hoggett and his wife turn vegetarian. I love the pine nut/asparagus risotto! - You can see the book on this link:Quote:

Mary
Hey is that gluten free?ihave a wheat allergy
Thanks. Tt
TT,
Yes, the pine nut/asparagus risotto would be gluten free - no wheat! I can put the recipe in the What's for Dinner thread if you want!
Mary
I know I'd appreciate that, MC. It sounds very yummy!
I just finished a very good book called "the husbands secret" .
It was on the people magazine recommended list and I hear on the best seller list.
I really enjoyed it. I was expecting the secret to be something to do with an affair but that's wasn't it at all..I couldn't put this book down and was surprised by how she ended the story.
great read recommend it highly
ok now I am on to lisa scottoline accused
I have read a few books by Lisa Scottoline and enjoyed them. But I started reading Don't Go and had to stop. It was just too sad!
Sallygee,
It was something I could not put down.
It was so different from what others she had written.
Her first "man" book.
This one is back to bennie and her lawyers.
My fave of hers is devils corner but its for personal reasons.
and to make you laugh, I loved courting trouble by my MIL did not .
She love the one with the pigeons in it and that one got on my nerves at times lol sorry lisa.
If you wanna laugh then try her why my third hubby will be a dog
or meet me at emotional baggage. shrot funny stories.,
I just have been uber busy this past few days and when I had time today to read , both nooks were dead ...oh well guess I gotta remember to charge them lol:hilarious:
yep . I do.
She is also a friend ,I am blessed.
yep and yep its cool and as I said, it is I who is blessed to know her. She is a great woman .
just wondering if anyone has gotten Linda Ronstadt's book yet...
Got it and read it, Z. I noted a few things in Linda's thread. It's a good, easy read, but lots about music that I know nothing about.
Here's the link: https://www.eaglesonlinecentral.com/...672#post253672

Being so busy at work has been bad for my reading habit! When I do have time to read, my mind is usually so tired I stick to books that require little to no thought. Recently, though, I decided to reread The Great Gatsby. I hadn't read it since early high school, and figured that since there was yet another movie based on the book, it was a goof time to reread it. I definitely understood more this time around.
Yesterday and today, I read Bel Canto. I'd never read it before, it was a very odd book with an even odder ending. It was a good read, though.
Just started Paul Stanley's new autobio, and am REALLY looking forward to the new Joe Perry autobio out in October!
Just finished Washington's Spies, a book about the first spy ring employed by the US. Very informative if you're into that sort of thing. Last week, Amazon sent me an email with a list of over 300 book over 85% off. I bought at least twenty of them on Kindle (most were $0.99). Will likely try one of them next...
