She said she understood it a lot better. LOL.<br />She also got them individually so it wasn't overwhelming..<br /><br />But what a beautiful coffee table book that is :-)Mikkihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05995446543360167057noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1693059274637695423.post-86784235376273537882009-06-03T23:59:48.505-04:002009-06-03T23:59:48.505-04:00I just started working on - not reading, mind you,...I just started working on - not reading, mind you, but WORKING on - <a href="http://www.messianicspecialties.com/images/products/portablesem.jpg" rel="nofollow">The Portable Seminary</a>. It's about 2.25 inches thick, around 785 pages. I'm determined to get through it, if it takes me... well, however many years I have left, lol!<br /><br />Here's a funny - read odd - thing about me. Quite often, especially after watching a lot of BritComs, I think in a British accent. And always, when I use the word either, I'm saying ee-thur, but thinking eye-thur. <i>Why be nermal</i>? 8-}SophieMaehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09396958301555933308noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1693059274637695423.post-22776907155052582102009-06-03T23:50:24.702-04:002009-06-03T23:50:24.702-04:00I don't read very often...Are you serious with...I don't read very often...Are you serious with that book?

Oh,...Ello Guvnah! Is that English enough for you?<br /><br />Oh, I am typing the rest of this comment in a very uppercrust British accent if you insist on knowing.<br /><br />That rather large piece of literature sounds intriguing though I have of course already perused those many novels. You mustn't be discouraged from the reading of it even though it is somewhat overpowering for your delicate stature.<br /><br />Do enjoy the remainder of your day! It has been a delight chatting with you.<br /><br />Large intelligent-sounding-accents-make-books-more-fun hugs to you!! :)<br /><br />LOL!!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06958936771590770427noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1693059274637695423.post-484363512977289462009-06-03T14:13:09.596-04:002009-06-03T14:13:09.596-04:00WOW - good luck with your reading.

Lewis. I've read quotes and excerpts before and I've read a fiction book he wrote called "The Screwtape Letters" but for the past few days I've been reading one of his books - no skipping - the entire thing. I need a dictionary and I need to rewind a few times, but when I get what he's saying, it's really, really good stuff.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1693059274637695423.post-61024181158350932922009-06-03T10:10:29.781-04:002009-06-03T10:10:29.781-04:00Well, you know me and how I love the Jane Austen N...Well, you know me and how I love the Jane Austen Novels. I've read them all, but did it the "fun" way, by curling up with a nice moldable, lightweight paperback with my feet on the back of the couch, pillows under my neck, coffee and probably cookies by my side, hee hee. :)Kathy C.https://www.blogger.com/profile/17099897804706795324noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1693059274637695423.post-60717103658727383012009-06-03T09:51:15.221-04:002009-06-03T09:51:15.221-04:00When you get tired of reading it, it could double ...When you get tired of reading it, it could double as exercise equipment! ;)mrshesterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08935940573148075717noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1693059274637695423.post-76444203127537652642009-06-03T09:40:17.051-04:002009-06-03T09:40:17.051-04:00My goodness, do you need a crane to haul that book...My goodness, do you need a crane to haul that book around! ;O) J/K<br />Although it may be huge and not a sit by fireplace kind, think of the treasures you have there!!! <br /><br />Oh, and you simply have a lovely writing style my dear; simply lovely.

You know...That is quite a book you got there Kim!!!<br />You know who I love but have a hard time reading? C.S. Lewis. I've started several of his books only to stop just as fast. <br />My problem, I think, is that I tend to read at night, and my then my brain is already mush...so trying to grasp the language of this amazing writer is quite a challenge! <br />I've also tried reading Jane Austen on a few occasions only to give up! Gosh, I'm such a quitter!!!<br />Maybe we should do a book club or something! :-PAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1693059274637695423.post-64698299271947274852009-06-03T08:23:32.343-04:002009-06-03T08:23:32.343-04:00Wow, you make my summer reading books look like Dr...Wow, you make my summer reading books look like Dr. Seuss!! lol!
