For pure Zombie indulgence , go directly to the zombie (zompoc? Multiple mutilations of the language alert) section of Amazon's Kindle Store. For hypnotic narrative, characters you could love (platonic or romantic) and characters who really need the Texas defense was invented, read TW Brown...

What a lovely compliment - just what I needed to hear today ( but I didn't know until I heard it). If I write about what I care about, the words just fly out of me.:onthego:

Aw, thank you.

Yep. SK took another leap of faith and good for him. And it works for me. I knew Jack Ess about the stories. I hadn't read a review So I came to the Bill Hodges trilogy with an open mind. What shook me up most was that I had tears in my eyes in the final pages of End of Watch. That's not...

Imagine what AMC could've done with a rebooted The Stand? And Frank Darabont. . . And Greg Nicotero. . . And Bear McCreary . . . All washed down with an unknown cast:typing: Then reality bites (aggh - that pun should be sent to bed without any supper):facepalm_smiley:

Me too. As I've aged, déjà vu has taken a hike. Is it an unscientific side-effect of all the medication I need to keep me above ground? Maybe my good-buddy déjà vu wondered off because of my physical limitations - I used to run hither and yon, gaze at the sky, try to notice as much as possible...

Yikes - I'd call yonder seagull something else. .um, Nemesis? Yep, I am irrationally afraid of seagulls:facepalm:

Aw, thank you.:okay: This is what keeps my boat afloat: Thoughtful words and deeds, smiles and laughter, there is no end to kindness . . and you're part of my crew , you who sail on the good ship SKMB:howdy:

Felt well enough to come back to the Board - yay! Hello one and all!:cheerful:

Your first Jack Reacher? Hope you enjoy it. I could say that I hope you luuurve it, but then you'll have to read all of them. And kiss goodbye to sleep and food.:encouragement: Sleep and food are great, but give me the right book first. . .

Oh yeah, Joe McKinney zombie novels - they always make a bad day better and a good day great. Um. I have a serious zombie habit...:a11:

I'm glad you read Schindler's Ark (original UK title). Think of that story as a snippet from a larger story: One of my friends speaks the truth better than I can: That is what the Nazis did; they didn’t just murder people, they murdered so many that they wiped out the gene pool of our people...

Oh my. In the beginning was The Stand, in its unexpurgated version. It was the beginning of my love affair with SK's work. It gave birth to modern post-apocalyptic fiction (no disrespect intended to the 50's and 60's classics - La planète des singes , On The Beach and I Am Legend). And it's...

My Jewish-American family are back in the Midwest, for keepsies now. Now, I understand why it's so important to be with the ones you love at Thanksgiving. I'll probably have a little cry and listen to this: and this (beware, you are entering the cheesy zone): And I'll Whatsapp my nearest and...

This is gorgeous:congratulatory:

Nice one GNTLGNT! Completely unrelated, but you have a new avatar - is that you and A Significant Other? If so, mazel tov!:clap:

Because we love to argue, seriously. Two Jews = Six arguments, if you get lucky. Joking aside, it's a combination of custom and language - if you speak Hebrew, you'll say Chanukah, because the first syllable should sound guttural. Ditto if you grew up around Yiddish-speakers. In the US...

Phew. There isn't any crossover between Advent and Chanukah, sorry. One festival (Chanukah) celebrates a miracle that happened after a battle between Jews who were being forced to worship Greek gods by the Syrians. Enter the Maccabees (Jewish equivalent of Special Ops) who handed the Greeks...

Comments like this remind me of how big the difference is between being Jewish in the USA and being Jewish in the UK. The only companies that have mezuzot (plural of mezuzah and there is no reason why you should know that!) on their doorposts are charities (I think you call them non-profit, in...

Aw, I'm Jewish, so thank yooooou! What a kind thought. Nah, better than kind. Really thoughtful, yeah:okay:
