Roses are Red

by James Patterson

Usually, I only post books I've read, but my son reads Patterson, so it's only semi-cheating.

Don't Go Near the Water

William Brinkley, on ReD

This is a light-hearted, humorous novel about the navy in the South Pacific during WWII. Underneath its comedy, though, it actually has a lot of realistic cracks about what it was really like.

Frybabe, you just gave me the opportunity to ignore five optional letters.

(The) Truth

By Terry Pratchett, on RembrandT's Eyes

Pratchett uses his considerable comic gifts to skewer many human foibles and institutions. In this case it's journalism.

Utopia

Sir Thomas More, on PhilosophicuS

I haven't read it, but just for the record, I think a Utopia is an impossibility. Jude, if you have read, or ever read, the Wittgenstein, I take my hat off to you. That's a real sacrifice, since first I'll have to find a hat to put on.

As a Driven Leaf
by
Steinberg

Hi Pat-
Yes I really read this Wittgenstein book. But not recently. I remeber it being very hard at the start but getting easier and easier as you went along.
Here is an interesting quote from the book:
"The world of the happy man is a different one from that of the unhappy man."

Far From the Madding Crowd

Thomas Hardy, on LeaF

Jude, I have fished out the LLBean sunshade hat I bought for Hawaii 5 years ago, placed it on my head, doffed it, and replaced it. I won't send a photo--hats look stupid on me.

I like your quote. It's profoundly true.

Titus Andronicus from the T in PatienT, by William Shakespeare. This was just mentioned on NPR as one of the best movies to watch (Anthony Hopkins supposedly is spectacular). I have never heard of that production, have any of you seen it? I am trying to remember the last time I read it, actually.

I heard this discussion was a little moribund but have just spent quite a while reading the fascinating and valuable comments you've all made, should we tweak this a little or leave it alone? Titles and Authors only beginning with R for a change? Or?
