Originally Posted By x Pirate_Princess x I have not read "The Secret" but the movie is very very good. And it works, if you stick to it. I'm currently reading: Rime of the Ancient Mariner (supposedly a basis for Pirates of the Caribbean) and The Autobiography of MLK, Jr.

Originally Posted By MissCandice DAR, let me know how you like it. I would put Eyes of the Dragon on my top list of books, if I were to make one. I love that book. I hit the library today and got 3 books by Alice Hoffman that I had not read, and The Fourth Bear by Jasper Fforde. I have been reading his Tuesday Next books but the most current one is not at my library (although I think it came out 2 years ago) so I thought I'd try this series. And the book I got isn't the 1st in the series but my library didn't have the 1st one there. I love where I live but boy howdy, sometimes it is vexing to live in a small town with a small library.

It wasn't so much boring as nothing you probably don't already know. Basically stresses that with positive thoughts & positive action, positive things will come to you. Ask, believe and you shall receive. I, too, have heard that the movie was really good.

Originally Posted By beamerdog Prey was great. It has a long list of references that Crichton used for the book. Some looked very interesting and I plan to look up some of them.
Originally Posted By jasmine7 Oooh, yeah, let us know how you liked it, DAR. I love The Eyes of the Dragon, too. I loved it so much in high school that I started working up a piece of it for a prose reading for Speech & Debate Competitions, but ended up dropping it for another piece. I'm currently rereading Ogre, Ogre by Piers Anthony.
