hooray! thanks for doing this again, carol.
Ditto! Thank you Carol! I think I will have a hard time narrowing down my top books this year. But I am eager to explore them to do it!

What would we ever do without Carol?
I know I should take issue with these last two remarks but I can't figure out how. You guys are too smart for me! Instead I will blush prettily (like they do in the romance novels) and say "Why thank you, Dan and Barry!"
They love you Carol! We love you for all you do!Carol/Bonadie wrote: "I know I should take issue with these last two remarks but I can't figure out how. You guys are too smart for me! Instead I will blush prettily (like they do in the romance novels) and say "Why thank you..."

Whatever happened to the concept of rehabilitation?

If you are going to quote from The Raven, at least do it correctly.
The SpanielOnce upon a midnight cautious, while I pondered weak and nauseous,
Over some advertising copy I had wrote for Macy's Store,
While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a yapping,
As of someone loudly yapping, yapping at my office door.
"'Tis some client there," I muttered, "yapping at my office door -
Only this and nothing more."
Then I felt my terror worsen, for my guest was not a person!
In there stepped a cocker spaniel; naturally I jumped in fear.
Tried to climb an oaken panel, ripping there my new grey flannel;
But the spaniel merely stood there, speaking out with voice so clear -
Speaking out like Jack Lescoulie, in a voice both loud and clear -
Quoth the spaniel- _"Drink Blatz Beer!"_
How I marveled this ungainly dog who did commercials plainly;
How he spoke the message clearly; selling points he underscored.
For I could not help agreeing that no living human being
Ever yet could mouth a slogan without sounding slightly bored -
Quoth the spaniel: _"Buy a Ford!"_
Thus this dog with voice like Murrow made my heavy brow unfurrow;
Thoughts of fortunes I could make now made me shake down to my knees.
But the spaniel set me grieving then by turning tail and leaving.
Naturally, I begged him tarry, crying out, "Stay with me, please!"
Quoth the spaniel, _"Eat Kraft Cheese!"_
I seem to find myself speechless, and craving cheese. ;)
This was my favorite of 3 Raven spoofs done by MAD magazine.
Just a note to let you know I will again be collecting our top reads for the year. I'll start the topic around December 27th and will leave it open until around the 9th of January. Stay tuned -- I'll remind you of the topics when I start the thread and give more specific instructions for those of you new to our board.
