usually i have 2 or three books going at any one time.  when i bubble i tend to read mysteries. right now im reading ruth rendells harm done.  i finished sue graftons t is for trespassing the other day.  have you read any of the nancy clue series? im also partial of late to indian authors. sea of poppies was fab. there are books that one reads and you find yourself just sitting and salivating over some marvelous turn of a phrase. this was one of them.

lol ... when you bubble ?? I love the sound of that although I'm not sure what it means. s'plain please ....

Yeah .. I have a few going at a time too .. but my other one right now is a Wayne Dyer - the power of intention .. (jury is still out)

I'll have to give sue grafton and sea of poppies a look .. thanks.

omg ... I feel like an idiot (looking to see if there's an idiot emoticon - thankfully I don't see one)

I get it now. In my defense .. I don't bubble, I jet, using bath salts, since bubbles and jets do not mix.

I would add a picture of my jets but it seems beyond my posting abilities at present ...lol..

so .. what's the best way to attach a photo anyways ???

I guess I didn't get it. I pictured Psych isolating herself like the bubble boy she posted about and, until now it being a bath did not register. . lol Are your jets inside? Gator

To be able to bubble does sound lovely. With work and, most of the week I have to closely go through 300 or more documents (most complex) daily and, aside from reading the newspaper and, taking note of all the reading suggestions here, that is about it for me. I know I am missing out ............on a lot but, the eyes refuse and, the weekends call me outside. Gator

and does the author have a theory on why this is? lol

I think it had to do with lesbian recruitment quotas, but don't quote me on that.

I just finished "The Help" by Kathryn Stockett. Was a pretty enjoyable read although I found myself stressed for the characters at times .. but I guess that's what a well written story will do to ya ...

Now I'm left looking for the next book ... sooooo, besides this message board, what are you reading ??

 Here's where I always get the failing grade.

Truth is, I'm just not all that keen on reading fiction. (Although I HAVE seen some pretty entertaining stuff on message boards from time to time... )  Don't know why, really -- was mad for it when I was a kid... the last words I usually said every night were "Just let me finish this chapter!"

I think it may have to do with reading glasses. In my leisure, I don't much like wearing them at all. I just don't know. I like biographies, but don't have any around here right now. At present I'm sort of working my way through "Our Kind" which is an examination of what it is to be human. :) (Author is an anthropologist.) Its the kind of thing you pick up to read, and start nodding off, and then, the next night you find yourself reading the same section over again, because you can't remember anything you read the night before. :) It's pretty dated stuff, anyway (pub in 1989)... the section I'm reading right now is discussing why men need to seduce women all the time, and he (the author) quotes E. O. Wilson: "It pays males to be aggressive, hasty, fickle, and indiscriminating. In theory it is more profitable for females to be coy and to identify the male with the best genes--who are more likely to stay with them after insemination. Human beings obey this biological principle faithfully." 

The author rejects this theory, and counters with (among other things) "... if women are coy by nature, why are they equipped with a capacity to have more orgasms than any single man can provide?"

... it's dry stuff, but not all that dry. :)  

Wish I could be of more help.
