Ah! This is fascinating! A girlfriend of mine read it, and absolutely RAVED about it....said things like, "it really spoke to me", and "she feels so deeply",........phunnee, because I love this buddy, but we have NEVER had the same taste in a lot of things, books being a big one....

Thanks, Susie.....I'll be a'passin' on dat one...... <_<

My beloved cousin in Boston canNOT stop recommending this book to me - - I don't have the heart to tell her that I can't even phinish it (though.........I can't PROMISE I won't finish it - - there is a train-wreck fascination to just how truly insipid and awful it is, adn I pick it up every few nights :ph34r::lol: )

GIAH-KNIT, what was that solipsistic book you were reading - or trying to read - was it "Eat, Pray, Love" by chance?

Because......I just borrowed it from my mom, who couldn't finish it - nor could her entire book club finish it - and I have just done something I haven't done in decades - - threw it across the room - twice in one night (to Kissey's great amusement) because.......well I have never read such poorly-written drivel in all my life...... :unsure:

Yep, that's the one. I couldn't finish it. Probably half the book club couldn't finish it. Only one person from our club had anything positive to say about it (she related to the divorce) but the rest of us thoroughly enjoyed bashing the author and her book.

I had to use forced waiting periods to get any reading done on it . . . whilst waiting for me mammogram . . . whilst waiting for me root canal . . . whilst waiting for the bamboo shoots to be driven in under me fingernails.

:huh: I don't get it.......was such a massive bestseller........I was reading it the other day, many many tedious paragraphs describing her first meal in Italy.......now, I love Italy as much or more than anyone else, and gawd knows I love me some good phood porn......but I was OUT OF MY MIND with anger and boredom, all at once. :lol: I love reading about people's journeys and their transformation from something awful.......and COULD NOT CARE LESS about this woman...........

She's one of Oprah's gurus now, too. <_< I seriously don't get the fascination......

you are NOT dissing Oprah!?!?

I haven't cared for the couple of her books that I've read either, but she has gotten thousands of people to read. That's worth a lot, in my book.

Remember House of Sand and Fog? I threw it in the trash.......have never hated a book more... :lol: (I trade many books at used book store)

Am going to attempt Pillars of the Earth - looks long but quite good.

True that. Alas, I think her audience is a demographic that is largely readers, anyway......but who knows.

If only we could get her to read the silly thread (if she isn't already :lol: ). Life-changing, for her viewers, and for Oprah herself, fo' shizzle.

I'm generally not a phan of Archer, but I loved Pillars. Think you'll like this one, Susie. :)

I think Oprah is on here..... .. just something I've been suspecting... .. one of those ''guests" or anonymous users... .. Hell, how long does Oprah think she can stay anonymous?

We all know that Oprah owns the world, or a large chunk of it...but she doesn't own Sillyville..... .. I think she's gotten wind of us, of this amazing, untouched place, and she wants in.........

Wait!!!!!....

Haven't seen Llamalady in a few pages..........

Could it be???!!!.... . . ..

I read a few on her list. I read several of the titles when she first started the book club, but I have no memory of them :lol: I do remember I could not get into Jewel. A New Earth is sitting on my dresser unfinished <_<

Anna Karinana I love, one of my favorite books, but I read it way before she put it on her list :P

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      Have you tried Pure Encapsulations supplements? This is a brand my doctor recommends for me. I have no issues with this brand.

      FDA Moves to Improve Gluten Labeling—What It Means for People With Celiac Disease

      My question I have proposed to the FDA through their website is why Prescription and OTC drug manufacturers are not required to list what binding ingredients were used to bine the drug? They list this on Capsules which are made of cellulose but not on pills? As it stands I or my pharmacist must contact the manufacturer to find out and my list is long from...

      i take b12, folate, b2, b6, glycine, Nac, zinc, vk2 mk4, magnesium, coq10, pqq, tmg, creatine, omega 3, molybdnem (sp) and just started vit d. quite a list i know.  I have high homocysteine (last checked it was 19, but is always high and i finally decided to do something about it) and very low vitamin d, 10. have been opposed to this supp in the past, but going to try it at 5k units a day. having a pth test on friday, which is suspect will be high. my homocysteine has come down to around 9 with 3 weeks of these supplements and expect it to go down further. i also started on estrogen/progesterone. I have osteoporosis too, so that is why the hormones.  anyway, i think all celiacs should have homocysteine checked and treated if needed (easy enough with b vit, tmg). homocysteine very bad thing to be high for a whole host of reasons. all the bad ones, heart attack , stroke, alzi, cancer..... one of the most annoying things about celiacs (and there are so many!) is the weight gain. i guess i stayed thin all those years being undiagnosed because i was under absorbing everything including calories. going gluten-free and the weight gain has been terrible, 30#, but i'm sure a lot more went into that (hip replacement - and years of hip pain leading to inactivity when i was previously very active, probably all related to celiacs, menopause) yada yada. i seemed to lose appetite control, like there was low glp, or leptin or whatever all those hormones are that tell you that you are full and to stop eating. my appetite is immense and i'm never full. i guess decades or more ( i think i have had celiacs since at least my teens - was hospitalized for abdominal pain and diarrhea for which spastic colon was eventually diagnosed and had many episodes of diarrhea/abdominal pain through my 20's. but that symptom seemed to go away and i related it to dairy much more so than gluten. Also my growth was stunted, i'm the only shorty in my family. anyway, decades of malabsorption and maldigestion led to constant hunger, at least thats my theory. then when i started absorbing normally, wham!! FAT!!!
