I just think Nicholas Sparks is mindless sentimental garbage. But that is just my cynical opinon

Hi Cindy. I hope you like mark the books you have read as much as I do

hi lori

Hi Rachelle

I have not seen the movie so I dont know how they protray that but they were chased and threatened and stuff like that

For those who have already read the book...

I have no self-displine

I just want to let all new members know. Feel free to join the book club at any time and to vote on the selection.

This is a great book offering a explanation into the Jewish religion. Wouk does a great job of giving the history and evolution of the Jewish faith. If you have ever wondered at all about Judism this is a great book to start reading. Although some of the analogies the author uses are a bit date, the author talks about a home costing $25,000, I beleive the book is an relevant now as it was when it was written in 1959.

Zero is a number that is taken advantage of by modern society but this was not always the case. Never before has 1 number frightened and baffled so many.

Charles Seife said it best in the intorduduction of this book. "This is the story of zero, from its birth in ancient times to its growth and nourishment in the East, its struggle for acceptance in Europe, its ascendance in the West, and its ever present threat to modern physics. It is the story of the people scholars and mystics, the scientists and clergyman-who each tries to understand zero. It is the story of the Western world's attempts to shield itself unsuccessfully (and sometimes violently) from and Eastern idea. And it is a history of the paradoxes posed by an innocent-looking number, rattling even this century's brightest minds and threatening to unravel the whole framework of scientific thought."

I re-read books all the time.

I do keep them all I still have the first book I bought when I was in the 5th grade. lol. I get rid of the ones I really dont like. But I usuually give them to someone I think will like the book. I have shelves and boxes full of books.

Sell books? Trade books? I could never do that. It would be like selling my children.
