I just finished reading Catcher in the Rye and I did not care for it at all. Wanted to read it because of the publicity, but maybe because I am a grandmother, I just didn’t like it. I just finished Dream Catcher by J. D. Salinger’s daughter, a book I greatly enjoyed and think his daughter is a remarkable individual. However, the book seemed extremely juvenile to me. Most of the content was given to sex and I can see where young boys and perhaps girls would enjoy it. Not something I would have ever cared for but it had a lot of unnecessary profanity. It speaks to me of a young man who was mentally ill, I am sure that a label could be put on it today. I am not so sure it was not actually describing Salinger himself. After reading his daughter’s book, I think Salinger definitely had mental illness, what I would call crazy. His family had to endure awful things because of him. He chose to be a recluse, and did not live in the real world, wanted to live in isolation.

I own all of the Twilight books, but had to get this one. It is an awesome edition, in a collector’s box. The pages look old and ragged like you would expect the book to be.

I live in New Orleans but am from Charlotte originally and used to see these guys all the time. They are and have ALWAYS been true to the Hard-Funk-Rock Genre, amazing rock album. AMAZING vocals, Leah is truly breath-taking in her vocal delivery and style. Chris’ guitar work ….DAMN!! The music is from the middle of your soul and groin at the same time. Production is wicked……PLEASE…if you love Hard Rock Jam Pain Society is one of the BEST ever. Keep rocking guys

This book is TERRIFIC. I couldn’t put it down. I read it in a few days, gave it to my mom to read, and she read it in a few days, too. It is one-of-a-kind and I can’t wait until they make it into a movie… (I’m hoping they will!)

There are some problems keeping the drive connected to the computer. It often has to be unplugged and plugged back in for the computer to recognize the drive.

My neighbor was looking for one of these ALL over and I bought it for her for her birthday and she was delighted.

We bought his vacuum because Consumer Reports gave it good marks. We vacuum a couple of rooms of carpet and a couple of area rugs on our hardwood floor. This machine does an excellent job on the carpet and a very good job on the area rugs and hardwood floors, but an added benefit is how well it moves the “dust bunnies” that collect in the corners and under furniture. It seems quite powerful, and maneuvers well. The only minor complaint is the shortish power cord, but we’ve fixed that with a similar color extension cord.

Tom’s book is AWESOME! He’s shares stories from the heart and gives hope to every day people about making a difference in the world. Tom Tuohy is one of those people who know that one person can make a big difference. His work in the Chicago area has made a huge difference to thousands of kids – kids who might not get Christmas gifts, kids who would think that being in a wheel chair prevents them from enjoying outdoor activities, kids that think sports aren’t attainable until Tom stepped in. When you purchase Tom’s book, you’re not only get great inspirational stories but you are also helping to make a difference as Tom selflessly gives every penny from the sale of his book to his Dreams for Kids organization.

It’s a horrible scale. It doesn’t really start on pressing. Would never recommend it to anyone. It’s better to get a simple scale rather than this. AVOID buying this one……

Like a dog on a leash this vacuum is raring to go and I have to step lively to keep up with it! My carpets are indoor-outdoor so I set the height for bare floors. The Tempo picks up cat hairs with great enthusiasm, and as another reviewer noted, the air leaving the vacuum is sweet smelling with no dust. The cord is nice and long. At this price the Tempo is a real bargain and I am very pleased with my purchase! The smaller sized vacuum cleaners (and I’ve tried several)cannot do the job and clog and break down easily. The Tempo is a full sized vacuum with ample power to clean my carpets nicely.
