I have Rheumatoid Arthritis which makes it hard for me to always do a lot and boy have books ever made it a lot easier to deal with life at times. Thanks for sharing such a big part of your life with us.Darlenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15387389557243960084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6309803128000518121.post-52256557232523771722009-08-16T00:15:46.841-04:002009-08-16T00:15:46.841-04:00I got 53 - but there were so many that I read for ...I got 53 - but there were so many that I read for school and don't really remember... You should definitely read the Philip Pullman series - it's wonderful. A little controversial - but regardless of your religious views, it's a fascinating story and one of the best "adventure" stories about a girl (I've already purchased the series for my 2 year old daughter). There were also a number of books that I own but have of yet to read. Do you do that? I have the hardest time finding time to read now that I have small children AND now that I have a blog. I used to listen to recorded books in the car during my work commute - but now I'm staying home with the kids... I'm going to have to figure something out!<br /><br />I have a blog suggestion for you. The 3 R's Blog (http://www.3rsblog.com/). Florinda writes about books, as well as other "random" things (hence the blog title). She's also a super nice lady.<br /><br />Thanks so much for your lovely comment! Funny how we all find each other (PVE is one of my favorites - I'm kind of addicted to the artist blog sites).Kate Coveny Hoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18006589284938683965noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6309803128000518121.post-81198041376898657482009-08-15T21:32:11.504-04:002009-08-15T21:32:11.504-04:00Oh, my, it's kind of disappointing to me to re...Oh, my, it's kind of disappointing to me to realize how few of those books I've read.

(Just never could get through the "begats" in the Old Testament)<br /><br />And I probably shouldn't count Life of Pi, which I'm pretty sure I was just about the only person on the earth who hated it and bailed halfway through!<br /><br />Interesting and thought provoking post. I never had the physical challenges you had, but had a relatively solitary childhood and books were my best friends and lifeline too!Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05811292947565794018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6309803128000518121.post-21624845200979237902009-08-15T12:35:06.228-04:002009-08-15T12:35:06.228-04:00I wonder who the BBC polled about the book list?

I'm not even sure if my favorite author, Wallace Stegner made the list. But there are some very good books on the list. I'm glad you all went through the list!<br /><br />Thank you to all of you for your wonderfully kind comments and support. My disability is part of who I am and it has shaped the person I am, sometimes I forget that. Sure there are plenty of days when I wish I didn't have it but I know I am who I am in large part because of it and I honestly wouldn't change that.<br />AmyAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09866342436745173619noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6309803128000518121.post-85179994733627977742009-08-14T18:06:45.882-04:002009-08-14T18:06:45.882-04:00Hello fellow lawyer.

By the way Cold Comfort Farm is by Stella Gibbons. My personal favourites which you have not read and you must read immediately are a Fine Balance by Rohinton Mistry and The Suitable Boy, both by Indian writers. A Fine Balance is easily one of the most profound books I have ever read. Oh and you have a great attitude given what you have been through when little. I have other friends who have been through similar experiences and they also found solace in books.Janehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02475155333546477042noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6309803128000518121.post-9099095204901634242009-08-14T12:19:06.711-04:002009-08-14T12:19:06.711-04:00Wow Amy! 66 books!

I think of myself as more of a doggie person usually but since I can't really get another dog at this time, from time to time I consider getting another cat. Is it an insult to cats to consider a cat as sort of second best?

I am so glad that you did, because now I can follow your blog. I used to be the mommy of seven cats. 4 have passed on, so I am down to three. I was born and raised in NY (Westchester County) and I also have a lot of "cat tails" to tell! I look forward to getting to know you better, and exploring your blog. :)Missy B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/10291867551001087415noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6309803128000518121.post-6202661849185397822009-08-13T14:03:12.349-04:002009-08-13T14:03:12.349-04:00Wonderful post Amy!

I'm very impressed that you have read 66 books on the list. I don't come close but at least I've read more than the BBC predicted!<br /><br />Thanks for following my blog. I will do the same. It's wonderful that you rescue kitties.

I'm a little embarrassed to tell you how many of them I've read. I'm an avid reader, myself, but I haven't read as many as you have.

I loved reading about how you grew up, sorry to hear that you have suffered so much pain, but pleased to hear you found an outlet in books.
