I also cut and paste this line: "I feel that I am beginning to undergo renovation..." and thought, you GO girl! <BR/><BR/>As for your identity with Boston, I can completely appreciate that. My guy was born there and has always held a special place in his heart for it. <BR/><BR/>Thanks, too, for your comments on my post. I'll be dropping by at some point in the future...until then wishing you much happiness!Pamela T.https://www.blogger.com/profile/11474998003921896431noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29669025.post-12861729936753134002008-08-19T21:43:00.000-05:002008-08-19T21:43:00.000-05:00"Personally, at this point, I feel that I am begin..."Personally, at this point, I feel that I am beginning to undergo renovation.

I was in the group that didn't get the "word" question though. I have been trying to come up with a word and it is harder than I would think it would be!<BR/><BR/>Thanks for sharing your thoughts.JuliaShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10668995954240697998noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29669025.post-15018926084262410332008-08-18T14:55:00.000-05:002008-08-18T14:55:00.000-05:00Love the review.This book has been sitting on the ...Love the review.<BR/>This book has been sitting on the floor next to my nightstand for over two months now.

Unlike some of my colleagues, I've never had this burning desire to visit Asia, but there was some interesting stuff in those other two parts too. <BR/><BR/>I also identified hugely with the passage about the Augusteum -- I flagged it while reading the book, & I totally agree with your personal interpretation!loribethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09272814565916935113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29669025.post-65910779948762104622008-08-18T11:07:00.000-05:002008-08-18T11:07:00.000-05:00The section about India made me think hard about h...The section about India made me think hard about how and why I pray.
