I think Pam may be on to something. Here are some discussion questions for any Nora Roberts read:

1. Compare and contrast the writing style of Nora Roberts with J.D.Robb. What about the writing style puts them in different genres?

2. Why do you think Nora Roberts writes so many trilogies? How does she achieve connectivity? What could be changed to make it better?

3. Pick a book from each decade of Nora Roberts career. How has she evolved as a writer in your opinion?

4. What makes the romance genre so popular?

5. How are real life relationships like/unlike the relationships in romance novels? Should they be?


See, even a light-hearted read can have some serious discussion. ;)

Philosophy for My Lifetime by Dr. Mark Lee... that's what I'm getting from this blog. And it's too stinkin' true! :)

Pamster

That is good to know :)

Oh you should see my bookshelves, and the boxes of stored bookshelves...

and some of the selections...it is giving me the giggles just thinking about it.

Mark, you read any Nora Roberts? *giggle*

MarkLee

Don't you fret, because my Summer Reading Club is coming back, and I do intend to read some books off of you guys' bookshelves...

More details to come.

Well all I can say is I am truly amazed and blessed when you put pen to paper and write songs!

And you know my New Year's Resolution (yeah I made one just to break it! :) ) was to read all the books I have on my book shelf. Well I "joined" your book club and haven't read a single one yet. Now I have read the books you've recommended. How about I tell you what I have on my shelf and you pick from them? LOL!

I truly look forward to seeing what you have worked on and being blessed once again by the gift God gave you!

Mr. Elwood

Very nice. I fell like I’m getting a “critical thinking” class for free.

I haven’t been keeping up with these posts recently and I’ve missed out big time. If they have all been like this, I bet someone is finding this to be a revelation of music and thought for them.

Very nice post...

    What's in my CD player

    • R.E.M. -

      R.E.M.: Accelerate CD/DVD
      Athens' own return with a trashy cool offering - their most consistent album in years. I think they're mad at their dad or something (****)

    • The Rolling Stones -

      The Rolling Stones: Shine a Light: Original Soundtrack
      This is what a live album SHOULD sound like. Unedited, unfixed - just a good recording of what happened that night... (****)

    • Mudcrutch -

      Mudcrutch: Mudcrutch
      Tom Petty and Mike Campbell reunite with their old band and forge an instant classic. (****)

    • Counting Crows -

      Counting Crows: Saturday Nights & Sunday Mornings
      It was pretty gutsy to lay it out the way they did: all the rockers on the "Saturday Night" section and all the ballads on the "Sunday Morning" side. But it works, and in a major way. Some of the best guitar work I've heard in recent memory. (*****)

    • The Black Crowes -

      The Black Crowes: The Lost Crowes
      WHY DIDN'T ANYBODY TELL ME ABOUT THIS RECORD?! You've heard most of these songs on other records, but it's just so raw and band-y here. Fall in love with the best band in the world all over again... (*****)

    • Pillar -

      Pillar: For The Love Of The Game
      So far this is the album to beat for the rock album of 2008 in the Christian market... The title track has kind of been my "theme song" the last couple of months. (*****)

    • Maylene and the Sons of Disaster -

      Maylene and the Sons of Disaster: II
      The perfect blend of Southern rock and metal - this is my favorite album right now. (*****)

    • Kevn Kinney -

      Kevn Kinney: Broken Hearts & Auto Parts
      I picked this up in Athens the other day. It starts out a little slow, but turns into vintage Kevn Kinney/Drivin n Cryin. This is as good as anything he/they have ever put out! (****)

    • The Black Crowes -

      The Black Crowes: Warpaint
      If you look up "killer" in the dictionary, you will find a picture of these guys.

    • Baroness -

      Baroness: Red Album
      So far the most original and inspiring music I've heard this year... (*****)

    • Down -

      Down: Down - Over The Under
      This is easily the most rockin' records I've ever owned. It's like redneck Soundgarden. Heaven for a dude like me... (*****)

    • Demon Hunter -

      Demon Hunter: Storm the Gates of Hell
      Don't let the "metalcore" label fool you. This album features some of the biggest and hookiest choruses you'll ever hear. "Lead Us Home", "Carry Me Down", and "Thorns" are great examples. Plus I think they'll give you your money back if the title track doesn't make your ears bleed :) (*****)
