21 days to read NIMH.....doable

Posted by Alii on December 11, 2002, at 20:40:28

I've found children's literature to be most soothing during this latest bout with dissociation and therapy. Looking forward to an adult discussion of Frisby and NIMH. I think I last read this book in fourth grade or so.

If I don't participate in the discussions at least I'm making the attempt to read and that in and of itself chalks up in the plus column in my life.

A dear friend even got the book from the library for me since she is a library junkie. I'm starting tonight before bed.

Ah the possibilities....

You found a new therapist? Cool... Did you decide to go with any particular type? Are you feeling any better?

I know, I know... this isn't books.

 

watch this magic....hahah

I read it in one, four hour sitting... It really is quite a soothing book... I *really* do like kids books... they're so much easier and more positive as a rule when you're in bad head space...

I'll be so interested to see what people have to say about it...

..a kiddie book , if I'd of known I'd of perused the book shelves of bookland.
Does it have pictures.?.although birds do freak me.
Anyone else find they have to read the last paragraph before starting.
I haven't read for years my brain is shrivelled beyond that task.
Resume book club..sorry to gate crash.

NO folding top corners of the page--buy yourself a bookmarker!!

When does the discussion start? Kiddie books I can get done! Of course, I have to read "Empire Falls" first--for my bricks and mortar reading group (hmm...I wonder how those folks would feel about being referred to as "bricks and mortar"? For some of them, it is rather apt a description, dare I say....I guess it's better than B&M?)

I also have another book to read first for continuing ed credits. Now if I can only get off the internet and start reading.

Seriously, when does NIMH discussion start?

FYI, there's a new feature here now, double double quotes:

Aha. So, I would write "Empire Falls" and this would create the link?

Wow--it's magic. I wrote the double quotes and it came out as a link. That is cool.

if you purchase your books through linking them this way.

Correct me if I am mistaken in this belief Dr. Bob.
