I think we have a difference of opinion, Daniella, but that's okay.

Ouch! Yet another fallout with a youngen!

Miss me? I've only been gone 24 hours.


That would be "youngin'." Note the apostrophe at the end. For an old dude, you still have a lot to learn. Stick around.

For an old bag you're not as complete as you seem to think...

The Urban Dictionary?! Hey, vanillapuss, do you wear skinny jeans and a nose ring too?

... or the **Urban Dictionary.

ciao filitsa, i love Castaneda and this book is too complicated ..i know it depends from the concentration of peyote he had taken and since im NOT a peyote eater there's no way...
On the other hand i've understood deeply the meaning of "alliance"

Alliance is an interesting concept. Alliance can go two ways: 1) to promote self interest, or 2) to promote the greater good of humanity. I believe Castaneda subscribed to the latter, peyote or no peyote.

Anyway, speaking of peyote, I recall an episode of Spin City that involved a character accidentally ingesting peyote. In his altered state of mind, he wrote himself a note that said - and I paraphrase: Once bread becomes toast, it can never again become bread.

Ella, ella, ella, ella, ella, Daniella ...

... So as I was saying before I was rudely interrupted,
alliances are formed in self-interest, but history has proven that the winds of change can turn allies into enemies.

I couldn't upload any Jane Austen to my e-reader as the books are on a dead laptop - read the Hobbit and started the "Bourne" sequence by Ludlum - altogether better than other Ludlum stuff I have read.

I prefer book in hand. It's a sensual thing - its scent ... the feel of it in my hands ... the sound the page makes as I turn it ... and you never have to concern yourself with technical difficulties. It's the buttered popcorn at the cinema.

For many books, in particular books with plenty of illustrations, pictures and diagrams I quite agree that one cannot yet beat a proper paper book: I have for example a lovely book on the Icons of Patmos, and some on mountaneering, where even the best computer screen would be hard put to do justice some of the pictures, let alone a 6 inch "e-ink" monochrome display. However, imho, for simple fiction, when travelling, an e-book is ideal, as I can carry about a hundred books with me.

In this novel, there's a character by the name of Clara Dickens. In reality, Mark Twain had a daughter by the same name. Do you know if there's a connection?

Is this your history resource, or do you just like looking at the pictures?
