What book?
TV ClubHouse: Archives: What book?
Goddessatlaw | Wednesday, August 14, 2002 - 09:44 am     John Denver had one of the sweetest voices I've ever heard. I miss him. |
Puckerbutt | Wednesday, August 14, 2002 - 09:54 am     Book: The Man With the $100,000 Breasts Reason: Just to let Tanya and Danielle know that there is a man walking around with better implants then they have. Film: The Decalogue Reason: Not only 10 hours of mesmerizing viewing, but the hours and hours of discussion it would inspire would be interesting also. |
Hillbilly | Wednesday, August 14, 2002 - 10:16 am     music: Sawyer Brown, Nickel Creek, and Alan Jackson |
Fanny | Wednesday, August 14, 2002 - 11:23 am     I'm actually not sure which book I'd bring. But I'd only need one. That's because I read very quickly and don't retain a damned thing. When I'm finished, I can start it over again and not have a clue that I'd already read it. |
Hillbilly | Wednesday, August 14, 2002 - 11:24 am     Fanny...don't ya never get that 'dejavu' feelin though? |
Lurknomore | Wednesday, August 14, 2002 - 11:34 am     YaY other Denverheads here That man has sung to my soul for more years than I usually admit lol. Thank goodness we still have the music. Truthfully I think that would be the hardest part for me if I ever were to go in that stupid BB house. Not sure I could take 3 months (and if I go I WOULD be there 3 months hehe) without his music to calm me down. |
Moedog | Wednesday, August 14, 2002 - 11:42 am     One of the greatest love songs ever IMO is Annie's song... You fill up my senses like a night in the forest like the mountains in Springtime like a walk in the rain like a storm in the desert like a sleepy, blue ocean you fill up my senses come fill me again Come let me love you let me give my life to you let me drown in your laughter let me die in your arms Cut to FOTH ;) |
Costacat | Wednesday, August 14, 2002 - 11:46 am     I respectfully submit a request here. I've never liked John Denver. If, by some really truly bizarre coinky dink I ended up in the BB house and another HG brought in a John Denver CD and played it often (even as often as once every two days), I'd probably run screaming for the panic button. |
Hillbilly | Wednesday, August 14, 2002 - 11:48 am     ...one down, 10 to go!... (just kiddin Costacat) |
Steelmagnolia | Wednesday, August 14, 2002 - 11:49 am     Book: E.F. Benson's Make Way for Lucia compilation Craft: Ceramics Film: Moulin Rouge Music: Chris Spheeris |
Babyruth | Wednesday, August 14, 2002 - 11:51 am     I'm here to fess up that I love John Denver's music, too. Always have. Remind me to bring a JDenver CD if by some bizarre coinky dink I end up being a BB Houseguest with Costacat. hehe |
Lurknomore | Wednesday, August 14, 2002 - 12:01 pm     Hey Costacat I got a question for ya. Have you ever heard any JD stuff beyond his "hits." A friend of mine would always tease me about my JD addiction, so one night I put on a CD and played some of what I think are his better songs. Well my friend was blown away by For You and had NO clue it was John Denver. He then listened to the rest of the CD amazed and a new fan was born I have this theory (I come with a LOT of theories if you all haven't noticed hehehe) that most folks who don't like JD have never heard any music but his 70's hits. |
Romans8_1 | Wednesday, August 14, 2002 - 12:19 pm     Music: 1) Billy Joel's first album "Piano Man". (I just love "Traveling Prayer") 2) The soundtrack to "O Brother Where Art Thou" |
Costacat | Wednesday, August 14, 2002 - 12:25 pm     Dang dang dang... Memo to self: do not give others ideas as to how to get rid of me. LOL Hillbilly and babyruth! |
Costacat | Wednesday, August 14, 2002 - 12:27 pm     Hey Lurknomore! I got an answer for ya. Yuppers, I have. And noppers, didn't make no difference. Granted, he is an awesome songwriter. I'll give him credit for that. It's his voice. Drives me up and down a wall. Similar to Melanie Griffith's voice. And Roddy's. |
Moedog | Wednesday, August 14, 2002 - 12:44 pm     Hubby can't stand Melanie Griffith's voice, either. If I want to watch a movie she's in, he heads out to play his guitar. Fran Drescher always irritated me (The Nanny). <cringe> Pink Floyd would definitely head the list of must-haves if music was allowed in the BB house. |
Shylow | Wednesday, August 14, 2002 - 02:26 pm     I love to read and would bring in Diana Gabaldons - Outlander, Dragonfly in Amber, Voyager, and Drums of Autumn. |
Aus10 | Wednesday, August 14, 2002 - 02:49 pm     The book I'd bring in...."Who moved my Cheese?"....Amy would be my friend forever! |
Surini | Wednesday, August 14, 2002 - 04:02 pm     Never thought I'd like anything Roddy liked, but he likes my favorite author, James Michener, so I would bring one of his "e-pocks" (as Roddy pronounced it last night), probably Hawaii. Hillbilly...I remember watching Sawyer Brown win Star Search, the same year Sam Harris won. Loved both Sawyer and Sam! |
Hillbilly | Wednesday, August 14, 2002 - 04:05 pm     ...got to be one of the best country bands ever, Surini...you need to hear Nickel Creek...they's country...but not the 'beer drinking' country most think of...got a real unique sound... |
Draheid | Wednesday, August 14, 2002 - 04:06 pm     Hillbilly: I'm picturing washboards & 'musical' jugs here ... am I close? NO, I'm talking about any body parts!!!! |
Hillbilly | Wednesday, August 14, 2002 - 04:12 pm     ...nope..not even close...more like a new country sound...see if you can find their song "When You Come Back Down"...their very harmonized... |
Surini | Wednesday, August 14, 2002 - 04:16 pm     Draheid you are funny Hillbilly, I agree about Sawyer Brown and will have to look for Nickel Creek, thanks! |
Wedge | Wednesday, August 14, 2002 - 04:18 pm     Book: Hell's Angels by Hunter Thompson |
Kminfinity | Wednesday, August 14, 2002 - 04:22 pm     To pick just one book would be soooo difficult. First I'd have to decide if i wanted to reread a favorite such as Atlas Shrugged, Ayn Ran Time Enough for Love, Robert Heinlein (or MIAHM?) The Magician Series, Raymond Feist A Twain Collection, LOTR, A Georgette Heyer omnibus, Jane Austen, or maybe.... The complete Nero Wolfe series, Rex Stout... I'd lay these out, blindly pick one... then keep trying new books against it to see if I want to risk a new title instead of an old familiar one. I'd bring the game Password and a CD collection including Lucinda Williams, Steve Earle, George Winston piano solos, the Stones, Springsteen, the Indigo Girls, and...um.....guess I should stop now.. |
Moedog | Wednesday, August 14, 2002 - 04:31 pm     Kminfinity, I think you illustrated the point very well that it would be so difficult to choose just one book. So many from which to pick! THANKS to all who posted to this thread! I've added to my reading list based on your recommendations. |
Jake | Thursday, August 15, 2002 - 01:28 am     *rotflmao* Thanks for the Monty Python soundbite, MOEDOG! That was great! I headed to bed just before you put that out last night. How funny to find it today! BEAGLE & MOEDOG: Yeah, I'm gonna pick up the Harry Potter books one of these days. I was just waiting for the furor to die down so I could actually FIND them on the bookshelves! *grin* DJGIRL: Heck, I HAD to start getting rid of my books.. there were WAY TOO MANY and even though I kept only the most significant ones, I still had 37 boxes of books to move across the country! I go to the library now. Read 'em and return 'em. What REALLY ticks me off is when I DO end up buying a book at $7.00 a pop,(after having read the synopsis first) and find out after I get home and start reading that I had ALREADY read that book! *lol* Oh well... |
Texastillie | Thursday, August 15, 2002 - 02:17 am     I'm thinking maybe the Wizard of Oz. I can't get the chant out of my head: "Lyings and Tyrants and Bares. Oh, my!" |
Moedog | Thursday, August 15, 2002 - 11:24 am     You're welcome, Jake! Great clip, heehee. Enjoy the HP series... it's a fun diversion. My grandson is 4 so I look forward to sharing them with him in the years to come. I just can't seem to get rid of a book once I buy it. I collect 1st editions so I have to buy the PB as a reading copy along with the hardcover. My hubby knows what my answer will be when he asks, "What do you want for your birthday (or Christmas)". Another bookshelf! I have a cousin who's a carpenter so he builds them all the way to the ceiling for me with shelves spaced perfectly for the different book sizes. One of these days I'll have to answer my husband, "A bigger house". Another couple of choices to take into the BB house would be Sacagawea (great saga about the Lewis/Clark expedition), and Colleen McCullough's 4 book series on ancient Rome. |
Marymc | Thursday, August 15, 2002 - 11:44 am     book - The Stand by Stephen King movie - Dances With Wolves game - Boggle music - Josh Groban/"oh Brother" soundtrack /Indigo Girls |
Cba79 | Thursday, August 15, 2002 - 12:08 pm     book - Foucault's Pendulum movie - Young Frankenstein game - Scrabble |
Jake | Thursday, August 15, 2002 - 12:16 pm     *nods* The Stand... great book and Young Frankenstein... hillarious! |
