It's been a fairly lonely opinion.<BR/><BR/>Kristina: Oh, my, Ayn Rand. That's heavy stuff. Atlas or Fountainhead? I kind of liked Atlas but got really bored during the 90 page speech at the end about how everyone totally sucks.<BR/><BR/>R Max: Makes sense. Er. . . I've touched on Christianity, Mormonism, Judaism and Buddhism... just out of curiosity which ones are the 'weird' ones? ;-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3711131163299344219.post-21711887078400306032009-01-17T19:34:00.000+01:002009-01-17T19:34:00.000+01:00I just bought Anna Karenina!

I threw it in the rubbish. <BR/><BR/>Yes the Mormons contributed to the Yes on 8 campaign - what really got me about Tom Meathead's statement was that we are Un-American and all that infers. Neglecting to mention that the very procedure undertaken by 4 San Franciscan judges to overrule the constitution regarding marriage, was in itself un-american. So much for separation of church and state. <BR/><BR/>And, I have no problem with opposing opinions... I respect that gays believe in their entitlement to marriage. I don't respect attempts to misrepresent and undermine my religion.<BR/><BR/>To my knowledge, YOU have never done that. And from what I've read, you are tolerant of all religions... even the weird ones.R Allenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01418481211074340777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3711131163299344219.post-52461843370288766222009-01-17T18:17:00.000+01:002009-01-17T18:17:00.000+01:00Wow, sounds like a delightful, sweet book! :PMy fr...Wow, sounds like a delightful, sweet book! :P<BR/><BR/>My friend loves books about grisly things and tends to pick them for book club.

I'm not with you on She's Come Undone - I know it was awfully depressing, but I still liked it (but I read it years ago so I can't remember why.)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3711131163299344219.post-48700864622051085612009-01-17T12:24:00.000+01:002009-01-17T12:24:00.000+01:00You know that this was based (extremely) closely o...You know that this was based (extremely) closely on fact? It's really more of a true crime story.<BR/>Here is a bit from Wikipedia about (it's a real name, no matter how silly)Mamah.<BR/><BR/>Martha "Mamah" Borthwick (June 1869 - August 15, 1914) is primarily noted for her relationship with Frank Lloyd Wright which ended when she was murdered.<BR/><BR/>That said, I didn't finish the book.
