I'm so pleased you read all those books. ...Oh! I'm so pleased you read all those books. I finished the last one while I was in America in June and loved them all. I'm not a lover of blood and gore but these books had me hooked, like almost everyone else. The film of the 2nd book is now out in the U.K. and I may go to see it if I'm feeling daring. I saw the first film, which was great but very graphic, as you know and since I've read the book, I know what's coming in the 2nd film. I have to say that I much preferred the book covers on the ones we have over here. I was so disappointed with the covers in the U.S. Whatever were they thinking, putting such nondescript covers on such excellent books.<br />I also love 'To kill a mocking bird'. Little did I know, when I first saw that film over here, all those years ago, that one day I would be living over there and experiencing that place for myself! As you say, life is extraordinary, temporary, wonderful and we do well to appreciate every minute of it, don't we.<br />Enjoy the book and be sure to give us your comments on it. How has it travelled through the years?<br />Blessings, StarStella Joneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06699491230987143490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-197597102880101691.post-66167737694543534912010-09-06T19:37:11.196-07:002010-09-06T19:37:11.196-07:00I feel like I'm daily thrust into appreciation...I feel like I'm daily thrust into appreciation of the temporary. When dealing with children everything becomes temporary. It does seem that loss and change are creeping up with much more frequency lately. Either that or I've become more aware. I am praying that we all accept these losses and changes with strength and perseverance. <br /><br />I hope you enjoyed your afternoon:)Whitney Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07766231420593480962noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-197597102880101691.post-63447546452118738672010-09-06T08:25:59.582-07:002010-09-06T08:25:59.582-07:00I would say you are in pretty good shape both phys...I would say you are in pretty good shape both physicially and intellectually. And yes, the nature of life is that it is temporary. That's why we must enjoy today. Yesterday is gone and tomorrow is not here yet. So many people live in the past or the future, and have lost the ability to appreciate the gift they are given, which is today.<br /><br />And, Gregory Peck was the ultimate Atticus Finch, wasn't he? It was the role he was born to play.Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03382221688268676914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-197597102880101691.post-24725916178480225832010-09-05T09:26:25.657-07:002010-09-05T09:26:25.657-07:00I just read in the AARP newsletter that the book T...I just read in the AARP newsletter that the book To Kill a Mockingbird is on the banned list for being "socially offensive". I wish "do-gooders" would just keep their noses out of other people's business. There are 50 books on the list, including Anne Frank: The Diary of a Young Girl. <br /><br />Unfortunately there are a lot of young people that will never get to enjoy some of the greatest books because someone deemed them "offensive"!Norma Jeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16012021195725446402noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-197597102880101691.post-55934479010475829832010-09-05T07:27:46.279-07:002010-09-05T07:27:46.279-07:00Enjoy your quiet Sunday, Djan!

Although, I don't think I ever saw the movie - it's still powerful.Gigihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05467164195744234746noreply@blogger.com
