A chapter in MS., "Betrayed by the Finest Hand." Excellent! Absorbing, abounding in expertly turned phrases, vividly and sensitively depicted characters, thrills, nostalgia.  Rich reading indeed.

Wow!  What a book that must be!

Mind over Mood - by Dennis Greenberger, PhD; Christine A. Padesky, PhD



Working my way through some good old fashioned cognitive behavior therapy.  I find that CBT, at times, works like magic instantly.  Some times and certain situations, it takes a lot more work.

Sounds fascinating, Karl, but I must plead ignorance. What is MS?

Manuscript.

TY! I guess you're not in a position to divulge anymore, but it's a intriguing chapter title.

THE JEWEL OF SEVEN STARS by Bram Stoker

That's interesting Dave. 

Has anyone read the so-called 'sequel' to Bram Stoker's Dracula?  It's called 'Dracula, The Un-Dead', written by his great-grandnephew Dacre Stoker.

PG Wodehouse, Young Men in Spats

I had to explain spats to a co-worker at the museum shop last night.  She is of foreign origin, but of course, I might just as well have needed to explain spats to a native of the US . . . .

Yeah, it's Stoker's mummy novel.

never pegged Stoker as a mummy's boy.

I just read "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" on my iPhone. Haven't seen the movie.

You are fortunate for that.  But if you do, only watch the first half.

Hey, by the way Dave, that sci-fi I am reading, Altered Carbon, won the Philip K. Dick award and has heavy noir overtones.  Fun read so far.

PS
Dave,
Might you link me to your Blue Girl(?) story and would you mind if I set it up for others to read on another forum?
