mari_skye I read Robert Ludlum's novels too and yes I have read his Bourne series. It's such a shame that I have not yet read his first input in the series, The Bourne Identity. I have read the series backwards, from 'The Bourne Ultimatum' to 'The Bourne Supremacy' So...

mari_skye I have read this book by John Grisham and I must admit I was at first not into the book since it was not in the same style that he used to write. But then I plodded on until I was engrossed in the story of Ronald Williamson. I cannot believe something like...

mari_skye I do sometimes, especially when the author is more of describing something that to me is not really relevant to the story. I am more interested in how the story unfolds than in its details.

dolce_vita78 @dolce_vita78 (8062) • Philippines 5 Feb 08

mari_skye I always use bookmarks to mark the page that I read last. I cannot remember an instance when I dog eared a book even during those times when I cannot find a bookmark to use. What I did was to improvise, a candy wrapper, a piece of paper, a leaf... just about...

mari_skye I read the book and I did not really like how it ended. I am such a sucker for happy endings that is why the ending of the story left a bad taste in the mouth for me. For days I have pondered on why the male lead character had to die? But oh well, I am not the...

sharone74 @sharone74 (4837) • United States 29 Jan 08

page corners

sissy67 @sissy67 (224) • United States 30 Jan 08

I guess some could call me petty but I just cant stand it when people fold down the corners to a page in a book. For some reason this just bugs the crap outa me. I always use a book mark. Does this bother anyone else?

mari_skye Yup, I agree. Turning the corners of a book to mark the last page read really irritates me. I am always carefull with the pages of the book that I read and I have a collection of book marks for my use or when I cannot find one, I improvise and use candy...

mari_skye Yea, I was shocked too when I saw the article in yahoo yesterday. I could not believe it really, thinking that he is still too young to be dead. But then the article was no joke and the actor is really dead.

mari_skye I think it is common courtesy to give at least 2 weeks' notice. In our country, the acceptable time frame is 30 days from the time you have filed your resignation. This is to at least give the company time to look for a replacement and for the person leaving...
