Nophoto-m-50x66 Dear Ryan, those John Irving books you read long ago. You must update your reading...and remember I had to beg you to read Irving and finally you did. Now read Water for Elephants for some American History and a sweet story and someone who doesn't shoot old people rather than put them into nursing homes. And then read The Desert Queen to learn a little about Middle Eastern History and the error of our ways in this Iraqi War... Guess who?

Nophoto-f-50x66 Hi Ryan-

Thanks for adding me, I am enjoying the reviews. Just got back from France, so I am thinking I should check out A Year in the Merde. This is a fun site.
