And I am being honest. I have attempted to read many books on the list, I just couldn’t get through them. On the Road, The Berlin Stories, A Clockwork Orange, Gone with the Wind, A Handful of Dust, The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe, Lolita, Mrs Dalloway (although I actually may have finished this one, I simply can’t remember), Naked Lunch, and To the Lighthouse.
Here are the books I have read: Are You There God? It’s Me, Margaret, Brideshead Revisited, The Catcher in the Rye, Lord of the Flies, The Painted Bird, The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie, and The Sun Also Rises. Maybe if I can one day extricate myself from the computer, I can give some of those books I attempted another go.
Donna,
I really think you might like The Great Gatsby….give it a try.
Yep, the Great Gatsby is a wonderful book! Just on a side note, I recommended your picture for the new wonderwoman! LOL! We will see what becomes of it. Remember I sent some of your pics to model the new WW drawings. Anwyays take it easy

Donna-
This post isn’t exactly on topic, but I need your advise. I feel mad love for a girl with whom I work.
We are from different worlds: I am white, from an upper-middle class background, and a junior executive. She is hispanic, grew up dirt poor, and is a secretary at my company. We don’t work together, directly.
Last Saturday night, we went out for the first time. It was a bit of a different experience. She picked me up, picked the restaurant, and paid the bill – all on her own accord.
Afterwards, she invited me back to her house; we shared a bottle of wine, and ended up kissing passionately for 20 minutes.
She wanted to go farther (as did my small brain), but my big brain didn’t want to rush things. I’ve wanted to date her for over a year, though the timing was never right.
She drove me home, and we made out, again, in front of my house, for about 15 minutes.
The next morning, I called her, and asked her to lunch; she happily accepted. She, again, insisted on driving, and took me to a soul-food restaurant, and ordered for me (at her behest), though this time, I paid the bill.
We spent the whole day together (walking, talking, and enjoying a museum).
We went back to her house. I really wanted to kiss her, again, but she wanted no parts of it, and pretty much blew me off.
She dropped me off at home, and said that she wanted to get to know me better, before kissing me, again.
I called her an hour later, and asked her to at least give things a chance. I explained to her that I didn’t want to take advantage of her, and that I was very taken with her (on all levels: pysical, mental, and emotional).
We’ve traded voice-mails this week, though haven’t spoken live. I saw her this afternoon, in passing, and she completely blew me off – not even a wink or nod (and no one else was around).
Do you think she’s playing hard to get, or that it’s curtains for me?
She’s just not that into you.
