Of course, he probably wouldn't give a damn one way or another.David Cranmerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04749857752139212888noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5401124973760279564.post-79960100847946311662016-02-01T04:14:35.404-05:002016-02-01T04:14:35.404-05:00David, I'd like to read "The Thin Red Lin...David, I'd like to read "The Thin Red Line" some day. I read sections of "Age of Reason" in college/university for my political science class, though I hardly remember any of it now. Prashant C.

I may keep this record going for the year.<br /><br />Oscar, I just told Ava that another person backs Sally and she did an enthusiastic "yay!" As for the reading, I don't want to go to my grave with math having conquered me. For whatever reason, at 45, I'm totally fascinated by the subject.David Cranmerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04749857752139212888noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5401124973760279564.post-55817032687088561022016-01-31T13:06:00.486-05:002016-01-31T13:06:00.486-05:00I read "Eternity" and "Some Came Ru...I read "Eternity" and "Some Came Running" and was going to read "The Thin Red Line", but I never started it due to an interruption and never got back to it. I'll vote for Sally to be the name, sounds as good as anything else. Your reading gets into the "deep" subjects that most people wouldn't pick up without a personal interest in the subject.
