I read it at least 2-3 times. Ayn Rand's social commentary is extreme, but she also makes these amazingly self-actualized characters who are so singleminded in their goals. I won't give away the ending for Atlas Shrugg…

> I'm *very* surprised at that! What was it > about the book that they considered > sexist? Clare spent most of her life waiting for Henry. Some perceived Henry to be a real control freak because he gave her a …

I recently read it for my building's book club. Everyone enjoyed it but interpretations were heated. Some people felt it was very sad, some found it uplifting, some thought it was sexist. Overall, I think everyone fou…

My niece is 17 months old. My brother mentioned that he was looking to purchase Dr. Seuss books for her soon and suggested that I could buy them as a Christmas gift if I wanted. I went on to Amazon and they recommended…

What tashagill posted is very interesting and a little scary... I really don't mean to plot against evildoers :)

I am moving within Toronto from an apartment to a condo. I am dreading it. It's an unsettling experience and something unexpected will definitely happen. I am looking forward to my new home and I will be thrilled when…

I was just checking my bookshelf and the status tags are missing. There used to be an option to see all the "available" books or the "travelling" books, etc. Now it's gone and I can't set the status of my books from my…

I say it's Benjamin Sisko, hands down! He was the captain on the Star Trek show Deep Space Nine and he's played by Avery Brooks. What a sexy man! I bought all of the DS9 shows on DVD in part because I look to look at …

I'll just have to find a rose! Maybe I should coerce my hubby into buying me roses since he hasn't done that in years!

I've read most of the the Kay Scarpetta series by Patricia Cornwell out of order, so I don't really know what the heck is supposed to be going on half the time. I'm wondering if anyone would be interested in trading the…

The first and second ones mainly. I watch them when I need a good laugh and to put things in perspective. After all, how depressing can life get when you see Mike Myers saying...well, the many hilarious and sometimes e…

I haven't seen you in ages, Bill. Or any of the TO BookCrossers. I'd love to see all of you. Especially cestmoi--we have some catching up to do!

*Blush* I guess I shouldn't post before my morning coffee. I meant to say that I've tried walking and reading as well as reading and biking (stationary), but it doesn't work for me.

I've never been able to do it. I've tried walking and reading, especially when on a bike. But I find that it shakes too much and then I don't enjoy the whole reading experience. I wish there was a way to shower and re…

In the emails I was referring to, the individuals weren't asking, they were phrasing their request like they were putting through an order from an online book seller! I enjoy sharing books with others, but I would like …

I am all for RABCK, but I am wondering if others are getting these "demand" emails from BC members that they don't know. Occasionally, I'll get an email that says they saw a book on my bookshelf and they put an address …

I was glad to see that added, too. I got my first AnonymousFinder a while ago and it for a book I'd released almost a year ago! http://www.bookcrossing.com/journal/271112

I enjoyed The Other Boleyn Girl, but I wasn't blown away by it. I liked it enough to add another Philippa Gregory book to my TBR bookcase. What I reading right now and I absolutely love it, is The Autobiography of Henr…

Memoirs of a Geisha blew me away with how well a man could write about a woman's experiences. John Irving has done a good job of writing about believeable female main characters. I can't think of any other authors righ…

There's a Starbucks at a central location in downtown Toronto that has become quite the "hotspot" of BookCrossing activity over the last week. It has about 4 shelves filled with books, both BookCrossing and non-BookCros…

Last night, I noticed that Canada has finally reached the 10,000 mark for books in the wild. I think that's great! I hope those books get caught soon and continue on their journeys.

I don't think anyone else has mentioned this one. Here in Ontario (Canada), there's a small town called Leamington. In their "downtown", they have a tomato family in front of a tourist kiosk. They are a life-sized tom…

What you can do is add a new journal entry rather than editing the first one. That way, the correct date of when you've read the book will show. I don't believe there's any limit to how many journal entries one journal…
