I remember one part in particular making my young environmentalist self cringe at the stupidity of men. Also, yours was probably a bit more PC. One of the biggest problems I have when I go back and reread sci-fi from my teens is suddenly noticing the womanizing attitudes in a lot of these books.<br /><br />~JPjugglingpayneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10921293051956441475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1121265525663492802.post-26131365236860213452010-10-28T21:47:03.737-04:002010-10-28T21:47:03.737-04:00Yes.

Thank you for sharing your opinion as a Library Thing Early Reviewer. As you see from the material at the end of the book, Maggie's adventures in life and love are continuing in a sequel, on which I'm working. I'm afraid she remains somewhat clueless, at least in some ways.<br /><br />Looking at your "Recently Read" widget, I notice Mary Chestnut's CIVIL WAR. Now THAT was a fascinating nonfiction book. Talk about a lot of more-or-less dutifully concealed rage at the system, and that woman was wired into the very top of the Confederacy! In terms of historical image, it's obviously unwise to let such a smart, observant woman "sit at the table of power," so to speak, yet give her nothing to do but make mental notes on the shortcomings of all the men present.<br /><br />I won't claim that they're as historically significant as Chestnut's diary, as the writers are much less elevated in political and economic status, but I also enjoyed BROKENBURN: The Journal of Kate Stone, 1861-1868 and SARAH MORGAN: The Civil War Diary of a Southern Woman. They're very different, but both interesting as to the effect of a male-triggered war on young women just trying to get on with their lives.<br /><br />I'm not that much into Civil War stuff as a rule, but I must confess that I'm something of a Joshua Chamberlain groupie. It was enlightening to read FANNY & JOSHUA and see a more-personal side of him in terms of his relationship with his wife.<br /><br />It's funny how thinking of one book leads to others. I suppose that's a big part of the joy of reading.<br /><br />Again, thanks for your review of LOVED ME ONCE. It's the first thing I've done like this, and I wasn't sure if I were sending forth work worth the time of a thoughtful reader. You have reassured me.Gail Hewitthttp://www.gailhewitt.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1121265525663492802.post-58785359175978625632009-07-17T09:01:28.333-04:002009-07-17T09:01:28.333-04:00Unfortunately Fox doesn't seem to think it'...Unfortunately Fox doesn't seem to think it's necessary to provide full episodes of SYTYD on line. You can catch episode recaps on hulu, but it's more the judges explaining their decision than dancing. Sidereel.com has free episodes, but you can only watch for a certain amount of time and then it makes you "wait" for almost as long before you can start watching again. The best bet might be to search you tube for SYTYCD season 5 and go from there.biblioholic29https://www.blogger.com/profile/09136944365496774210noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1121265525663492802.post-3072670699617175272009-07-16T14:32:27.602-04:002009-07-16T14:32:27.602-04:00Hey bib!
