There is a discussion in Item 27 of coop about a proposal to make Grex
conferences open to reading on the WEB without requiring readers to open
Grex accounts (called "anonymoous web reading of conferences"). An
argument in favor of doing this is that it could attract new participants
in conferencing after readers get a taste of what it is like. If you have
an opinion on this with regard to this conference, let us know: if you
have a opinion with regard to any other conference, you might start a
discussion of it there. In any case, you can read all sides of the issue
in coop item 27.

Just wondering if anyone here has read the book "WE" by Eugene Zamitryn
(Not sure if thats how to spell his last name) it's a wonderful book,
written before "1984" but along the same lines.

Being a fan of obviously Mercedes Lackey and Louise Cooper people are often
surprised that I read other things too. Toking had mentioned a book called
"WE" how long before "1984" did it come out? Also I have been looking for
ideas of good reading books and would like to know if peoplewould like to send
me lists of classics that they liked and reasons why > I`m hoping to find some
forgotten classics that would bring interesting mindsets of the past.

Hi everyone, don't know where else to ask this question, so I figured item
one would be a good place.
I remember someone saying that the eighteenth century was the "Age of Reason"
and the nineteenth century was the "Romanticism" era. Does anyone know of
any books (prose or poetry) that fit into these categories? I want to start
reading again (after too many hours in the computer lab bashing C programs)

Slinkie- I took a class on Romantic era books, the books we
read were actually pretty interesting... If I can find the
list I'll let you know. I do remember that Shelley's
_Frankenstein_ was on the list as was _Jane Eyre_ by Charlotte
Bronte- but that's just the tip of the iceburg.

Re: #66 Wow, I wish I had the time to take a class on romantic era books.
I read Frankstein my freshman year of college as part of a women writers
course but I've never read Jane Eyre. I'll look for a copy. Thanks!

I really enjoyed Jane Eyre, although I'm much more partial to Jane Austen
books. I also really liked "Evelina" by Fanny Burney (another young
woman coming of age book, with the added complication of her father
not recognizing her as his daughter and having been raised in the
country by a clregy man.) Also Belinda by MAria Edgeworth ius fun. :)

Hi Rane...
Howz u. Its obvious that, what ever we r doin today has somethin to do with
books read ,written by some past men, either we gettin their experiences
or apply their principles or go a step further and set up new thins
which become a new milestone in this human race. U got to go at some
phase of life through books to get in this fast lane of race for better
facilitations to the human kind here or in space or on other planets.
this goes on. and on. ofcourse pure book cant mean anything unless it
gets the boost of imagination. Also if u look in any field, most of it
needs to be documented. This is for ? . that's why.

Hello, Rane. I'm just entering this conf for the first time. I don't think
there is *any* question about "why books?" :) I love all types of books.

There is a question, when you read about homes that have no books at
all. Obviously you are not among those. Welcome to books. Hope you enjoy
yourself here.

You're absolutely right. Its just that the idea that there are homes with *no*
books doesn't naturally occur to me. I guess I was lucky, growing up with
parents who both loved to read, and watched little to no t.v.

Has anyone read Richard Bach .. Jonathan Livingston Seagull, Illusions and
Bridge Across Forever ...i've *loved* all three ... though the ideas in the
first two are similar to those given in the Bhagvat Gita

I read JLS as a kid, and I should probably re-read one of these days.
I would like to get a copy of the Bhagvat Gita. is it published in english
or does only come in Hindi?
