Books from Karen Rose tend to be my faves.

Bone mans daughters - Ted Dekker is my FAVE book of all time. It was amazing, loved it. LOVED it. Did i mention i loved it?!

Daniel - Ted Dekker is another good book, not quite as amazing as Bone mans daughters though.

Thr3e - Ted Dekker is another amazing book, but not quite as amazing as bone mans daughter....

i may have others to list soon when i've read a new book i recently got from an author i've never read before called Peter Robison. But i'm currently reading a Karen Rose book. "You can't hide" is one of my many faves of hers.

Not many knew i was a book worm did they? :P

This is an interesting topic for me.. I LOVE books..

My all time favorite is Romeo + Juliet. It is a tragedy, but it's also the second greatest love story ever written. (The first greatest love story ever written is your own ;) )

I'm also a big fan of The Twilight Saga. (particularly Breaking Dawn)

The House of Night series.

Immortal (It's a collection of vampire love stories)

Thirst No. 1 & 2

I could go on forever.

"Animal Farm" by George Orwell - it is a must read for any would be revolutionaries (includes the blueprints for how to stage it with all of its lofty ideals and why it eventually all falls into decay as time goes on and corruption takes over)

The soon to be published (keep your fingers crossed) "Poems From A Transgendered Heart" By Me (have your tissues handy!)

"Fables for Modern Times" by James Thurber

Love ya,

Sally

My favorite novel is From E to You by Chris d'Lacey and Linda Newbery, which no one else has every heard of and is a completely ridiculous YA novel about two kids jumping to increasingly insane conclusions about the relationships between their parents. IT IS AWESOME.

I also love The Jennifer Morgue by Charles Stross and The Gun Seller by Hugh Laurie.

I don't see him here, so I have to mention the novels of Vladimir Nabokov. I've read three. Lolita and Pale Fire were both extraordinary: like nothing else I've ever read and brilliantly written. Bend Sinister is also very interesting. I also like what I've read by David Foster Wallace; his book of short stories, Oblivion, is fantastic. I also read some cool essays by him in some collection that I forget the name of. One day I'd like to read his novel Infinite Jest, but it's supposed to be very difficult.

Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy(Douglas Adams just makes me laugh every page)and Animal Farm, nothing is better than a tale of the fall of a wonderful government style into Anarchy.

I'm pretty much into the classics when it comes to literature... "The Trial" by Franz Kafka and "The Forest of the Gods" by Balys Sruoga are probably my favourites. I also liked Nabokov's "Lolita" a lot.

My list of 'least favourite books' is a lot longer, thouhg :D I'm picky.

The Picture of Dorian Grey by Oscar Wilde and the LOTR trilogy by JRR Tolkien have forever been tied for my favourite novels.

I also adore everything by Isaac Asimov.

Fingersmith - Sarah Waters

The Mists of Avalon (just the books in the series that MZB wrote)

LOTR

There's Nothing in This Book That I Meant to Say - Paula Poundstone

Used to be ashamed of the last one 'cause it wasn't a "guy" thing to read, but no more. I like what I like, and that's that! :)

Really want to read The Age of the Pussyfoot also.

      Gosh, missed Monday again.   Did you know that Producer Keith Oslen was distraught because the duo his recorded Buckingham-Nicks first album went nowhere? In walked Mick Fleetwood also distraught because once again Flleetwood Mac lost a guitarist in Bob Welsh and he was at least going studio shopping and came to Sound City in LA because he'd heard the drum sound they got there was incredible. He asked Oslen to play something recorded there. Olsen played some of Buckingham-Nicks and Fleetwood loved the sound of the guitarist and wanted Buckingham. Olsen said he comes with Nicks because Olsen managed both. Fleetwood didn't want Nicks but eventually the remaining Mac members said okay and next thing you know - the Fleetwood Mac that scored a huge following was born. Sadly right after the "Fleetwood Mac" album and before "rumours" was recorded, the band got huge headed and got rid of Oslen so they didn't have to play him a lot of music they wanted to keep. Olsen did ok after by recording Ozzy Osbourne, the Grateful Dead, Whitesnake, Pat Benatar, Heart, Santana, Saga, Foreigner, Scorpions, Journey, The Babys, Emerson, Lake & Palmer, Joe Walsh, 38 Special, and Eric Burdon & the Animals, among others. BTW - Olsen was also a members in 1967 of a band called Music Machine (not the James Taylor one) that scored a huge hit with the song "Talk Talk"

      Still on contentment high from Sunday.
    • Heather Shay
      CONTENTMENT The relentless pursuit of happiness often overshadows the more subtle yet profound emotional state of contentment. While happiness may be a fleeting high, contentment is the gentle hum of satisfaction that resonates through the soul, offering a sustainable path to life satisfaction. Oscar Wilde's poignant observation encapsulates this truth: "True contentment is not having everything, but in being satisfied with everything you have."

      I've been looking forward to the legitimate medical groups coming out strongly against Cass' biased and one sided report, so I'm really glad to see the article you posted, @Davie.  Unfortunately, it won't get nearly the coverage that Cass has gotten.  She has done her dirty work.  Hopefully the pushback and investigative reports on her and her support network will result in her work being shown for what it is.  She is a fraud, and sooner or later all frauds are found out.   Carolyn Marie

      CONGRATULATIONS, Jessica!!  That's really BIG! I myself did not experience a huge emotional roller coaster.  It was more like a smooth slide into emotional comfort.  The biggest effect I felt is when my Dr put me on T-blockers first.  I felt a bit 'empty' for a couple of months, but then realized it was just because the 'T-monster' was no longer running around inside of me.  Then I felt it was my new 'normal'. I feel like the estradiol was the 'frosting' on my transition affirmation.  It's been only positives.  I do cry a lot more, but it's only because I finally feel free to allow my emotions to come out.  To me it's not 'hormonal' ... it's FREEDOM!   Everybody is different but it sounds like you are under great care.  I hope you have a beautiful first year in transition on HRT (keep us updated if you can).
