Besides the board, just got finished with Inheritance by Christopher Paoli third in the Eragon dragon riders series. Love my Sci-Fi, fantasy books.
Katrina I have to admit that I love sci fi/murder/mystery/horror too. I'm a Harry Potter fan.
I apologize for nothing...
Just finished reading the Chicken soup for the soul A Book of Miracles. By Jack Canfield, Mark Victor Hansen and LeAnn Theiman. Now I have nothing to read. So I am going to write some more on my book. That is until my next Mother Earth News magazine comes in.
Do any of you get the "offshoot" series that Mother Earth has out? Can't remember the exact name of it but it comes out 4 times a year and is awesome.
I apologize for nothing...
I've been thinking about studying a language.
Being of Scottish decent, I've always wanted to learn Gaelic, but a language you cannot practice will be lost. I have kinda wanted to learn Russian, but the same logic applies.
Lately, I've been thinking about Spanish. I actually have no desire to learn it for myself. However, it would seem that post-SHTF of almost any kind, you'd need it sooner or later, unless you're hidden way out there. Practice would be everywhere, since it's being forced down our throats with signs and packaging.
If you're going to barter post-SHTF, you're going to have to meet and interact with people. Realistically, if someone who doesn't speak very good English has what you need, does that change the fact that you need it? Spanish seems to be the most prevalent other language that I've noticed.
Not to mention, overheard Spanish about what someone plans to do to you, that they think you don't understand, is certainly to your advantage if you know it.
Taz,
There are 2 from Mother that are spin offs:
the Wiser Living Series and the Food & Garden Series
Both are really good ones.
I apologize for nothing...
Last few were:
The Foxfire Book.
Total Money Makeover
and 2012 Farmer's Almanac
Taz, been thinking of getting Grit magazine myself, looks like it would have a wealth of information for us.
