For a change of pace, I recommend "The Quiet Girl" by S. F. Kosa.

Re: One Moment
Very good, BWM, I actually think I like your opening line better than mine.

Re: Hello new friends! Recommendations please?
Hello Kirsty, Having been (and still am) a voracious reader for over 50 years, the books I could recommend would take several pages. So help me out. What genres do you like (or not like)? Do you prefer fiction or non-fiction? But to give you a jump start, here are some books I have recently read: Fi...

One Moment
Recently, while thinking random thoughts, I recalled some lines from Geothe's "Faust (First Part)." I cound not remember them as originally written, but could not get theme out of my head. :hmm: After some research, i found what I was looking for, but it just did not sound right. So, being...
