Conrad73: Feels like Sacrilege to get rid of a Book.

Yash124g: Hi Wedward,

I cannot accurately recall the title, and think I still have the book somewhere in storage, but was called something like 'Women at War' from the mid-80's. It was basically a collection of first-hand accounts of how women's letters and recollections from WWII.

It covered families from all nations and clearly showed how one's spirit survived through all types of tragedies, how they could always see the humorous side and most importantly of all, that wars only cause pain and suffering and showed never be allowed...

I also read Bill Bryson's 'Notes from a Small Island' and done a review of it when I worked in a book store and he is extremely good, but yet to read more from him, though I like your 'Short History of Everything' Charlie.

I would also recommend 'McCarthy's Bar: A Journey of Discovery In Ireland' as its pretty funny..
Enjoy your Sunday evening everyone..

Lillym: Yep read McCarthy's ....its a great way to discover Ireland

Personally 'The Lord of the Rings' Trilogy just blew me away, Tolkien is brilliant.

smoky: Ja, I am saving that to read ....... been wanting to read it for the last ....... ....... 20(?) years!

I got them, ....it..... in a HUGE volume ... waiting for me!

I saw the movie but it made no sense to me ... and was told I gotta first read the book ........ About how those trees WALK! ... and the different life-forms .... Goblins, Hobbits, Trolls........... but it`s waiting in line for me to read ........
