Sociology connections in the spring led to someone refering me to Brady's blog, and thus, your book pages.<br /><br />Also, I never visited the house on the rock either. It's expensive. But apparently it made my sister cry when she was very young.Kjerstihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09301906407779750528noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21654824.post-85116005440122866752006-10-25T06:51:00.000-07:002006-10-25T06:51:00.000-07:00When I travel and take a travel guide, I always te...When I travel and take a travel guide, I always tear out the pages I don't need anymore and throw them away to make the book lighter. I always assume that, should I ever be back in, say, Venezuela, I'd need a new guidebook by then anyway, so there's no point in really saving it.<br /><br />I don't think I could ever do that to a real book though.<br /><br />I went to the House on the Rock once. It is a mind-boggling experience.Gwenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15613914622115214781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21654824.post-50208965630327348552006-10-24T14:34:00.000-07:002006-10-24T14:34:00.000-07:00Kjersti: I know what you mean...

However, I decided that THIS TIME I wasn't going to be the indoor kid who spent the whole camping trip reading, so I only read in the afternoon, in between exhausting hiking and dark. Battery-wasting averted. BTW... is this Kjersti formerly of Madison Public Library?<br /><br />Sally: You know, my biggest regret about the time I spent living in WI is that I never visited House on the Rock. What was I thinking?<br /><br />I'm really glad you liked Popco... and I'm also really glad that you got out of the private sector!mary_mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18271776145478019619noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21654824.post-14631814116354361852006-10-24T06:50:00.000-07:002006-10-24T06:50:00.000-07:00Mary! OMG.
This was the only book I could think ...Mary! OMG. <br /><br />This was the only book I could think of for the thread about "should be made into a movie." Although it's too long for a movie. More like a mini-series, I guess.<br /><br />The scenes at House on the Rock were my favorite, and I love the concept of deities who fade away as fewer people worship them. See also Jitterbug Perfume by Tom Robbins. <br /><br />P.S. I just finished PopCo. Amazing! Did you know I used to work for Mattel? There were so many creepy reminders of why I'm much happier outside of corporate America.

I would end up reading the entire first night, and then be out of book, flashlight batteries, and rest for the remained of the camping trip. Though I can't sleep on planes, so this might be good for that.Kjerstihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09301906407779750528noreply@blogger.com
