Hi all, and in particular Tom, Having posted quite a lot when I first joined this group, I've lost touch with it a bit, but your posting Tom, in response to...
Hi Damson In response to your email I watched this dramatisation of Penmarric many years ago on Sky Gold. So as you might imagine it was quite old then. It is...
Hello Damson & other group members, I am beginning to think that St Benets really is fiction but what lovely fiction (the ideal church). Like your experience,...
... fiction (the ideal church). Like your experience, here in Sydney or west of Sydney where I live, the churches are cold and unfriendly or artificial ...
This is from the moderator of another Yahoo list that I belong to Martha ****************************** I know there are list moderators of other groups on...
... There are some but they are probably a minority of churches. However let us not forget that St Benet's is a London church and most churches in central...
Thanks, Martha! As you know, Elena's been gone for a while, and she asked me and Carey to moderate while she's away. I try to check in regularly, but if...
Over past months there have been periodic queries as to whether or not there is a "real life" St Benet's in England. Yesterday Joan and I were in England's...
Likewise Our Church has a wonderful healing(laying on of hands) and anointing between services (free of charge) and with my mothers recent brain cancer...
While I wait for the "Heartbreaker" novel I've been fortunate to discover another author I enjoy. Just finished reading 2 novels from Francine Rivers' Mark of...
I finished reading "The Heartbreaker" on the weekend. I am VERY disappointed. In fact, I can't believe that the woman who gave us "Wheel of Fortune,"...
Whoa scathing report...guess I'll stick to Dan Brown for awhile he is HOT with Angels and Demons and The DaVinci Code...wait for the Heartbreaker tohit our...
Harsh. Really harsh. I loved the book as I have loved all of her books. Her views of homosexuality clearly are not that it is something to be cured and can be...
How did you find Angels and Demons...I have yet to hear a single person slight this book...you are the first...could u be more specific about your comment no...
... * Spoiler space, just in case * * * * * * * * * * * Having disliked Da Vinci, I had no interest in the other books. I have read a good bit about...
Hmmmm perhaps your critique is beyond my ken for I still do not understand your criticism ?? Dan Brown is no slouch having come from very academic, scientific...
... I really don't think that I can be more specific without spoiling the novel for you, so you'll just have to read it and see what you think. And as in all...
I'll second M.E.Tonkin's remarks - while 'DaVinci Code' was a tight thriller, Brown's presentation of "history" was flawed to say the least. He completely...
... I agree. I'm not in "denial" either. The book is embarrassing and "hacky," despite the fact that Howatch is trying to be "cutting edge" and contemporary....
Like Martha and Anne, I have a few words about the Da Vinci Code -- now that we're on the subject! You think The Heartbreaker was slap-dash, with cardboard...
A novel from 50 years ago that sounds somewhat Howatch-like. Martha Today's Review From Salon.com The Towers of Trebizond by Rose Macaulay <<> Read today's...
I'm almost finished with Ultimate Prizes for at least the 4th time. I usually reach for one of the Starbridge series several times a year. I especially like...
... Penmarric is wonderful. I wish Howatch would go back to that kind of writing. But huge historical sagas aren't popular right now. Howatch is obviously...
I love them, too. Do you think they are not so popular right now because of their length? I love them partly because of their length, but I realize long books...
You talk with me about them. actually I absolute adore them and am in the process of writing one myself. who would have thought. You may mail me privately if...
Thanks, Vandeleur --hope I spelled that lovely name correctly. And you are writing one, too! How very exciting. I'm envious of such talent and skill. I...
