Is it really funny?

Finally started the series after finishing a book by Stephen King.

Miss-Delectable

Haven't finished the whole book yet. Will answer your question shortly.

By far, at this stage, what's funny about this book is the reason why they picked the names for their kids.

I'll wait to hear from you!

Bottesini

The book isn't written in ASL syntax, but I guess it could be another reason to like King.

And now I am reading Inside Deaf Culture by Padden and Humphries.

I got tired of Stephen King long time ago.

I just finished Super Freakonomics by Steven D. Levitt and Stephen J. Dubner.
Starting to read In the Wake of a Dream by Lisa M. Hopper. It is about how she started the World Care.

I thought the same thing when I read it. I could just see the signs in my mind!

jillio

Great one you are reading there, Bott. I expect all sorts of contributions from you in the Culture threads.

jillio

I'll have to look for that one. Sounds very interesting.

Bottesini

I am really reading it for my granddaughter to try to keep up with how things have changed since I was a kid.

She starts with the area education agency next week.

Cool!

Bottesini

Yes. And I am hopeful she gets lots more opportunities and a better education than I did.

But of course I can also participate heavily in culture threads.

I am reading Wicked Appetite by Janet Evanovich. It is hilariously funny.

Bottesini

Is that Stephanie Plum?

KristinaB

No - it's main character is Elizabeth Tucker and it's all about witchcraft and supernatural stuff and based in Salem, Mass.

jillio

Started a new one today: The Measure of Madness.

Miss-Delectable

Must admit the book's an interesting read. It helped clear up some misinformation I have heard about during the campaign.

Learned that she and I am from different world literally. Some of the politics I can agree with but she's pro life whereas I'm pro choices.

I just think she goes rah rah a bit too much. Such as 'I'm be proud to be American', rah rah. 'America is great', rah rah.......................

Have to say that I don't think America is great, lol.

Also I learned that politics in US is very, very dirty and ruthless. Families of the candidates should have been left alone from attacks.

jillio

Thanks for the report. Yes, politics in the U.S. is dirty and ruthless, and she was one of the dirtiest and most ruthless in things she said during the presidential campaign.

TWA

Yep, and personally I don't think her family was attacked as much as made an example for its hypocrisy of moral values.

jillio

Agreed. However, it seems to be common for those whose hypocrisy is pointed out to scream "Attack!"

deafskeptic

Just finished reading a collection of Lovecraft short stories including the the strange case of Charles Dexter Ward and Herbet West: Reanimator.
