I'm going to hang onto your message and look them up, thanks!Bookfoolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08247136634069540446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29370872.post-48235716750016605562009-06-21T09:51:43.983-05:002009-06-21T09:51:43.983-05:00I've added The Unit to my wishlist - intrigued...I've added The Unit to my wishlist - intrigued by it. I also like the sound of 50 People Every Christian Should Know. That sounds good. I have a book "Christian Heroes" as well as a book on Christian Men and Christian Women that have mini-biographies. I find these interesting. Have you read 100 Christian Books that Changed the Century? That was pretty interesting.twiga92https://www.blogger.com/profile/16751327144782362475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29370872.post-72876134020376023422009-06-17T14:39:39.854-05:002009-06-17T14:39:39.854-05:00Iliana,

I was as moved by the people comforting each other as I was by the situation itself. Anyway -- will return to it soon!Bookfoolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08247136634069540446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29370872.post-17022395541961608332009-06-17T13:13:06.265-05:002009-06-17T13:13:06.265-05:00Congrats on the award! :)

I didn't realize the photographer had committed suicide. It certainly gives a little more meaning to how bad the situation is. Bad enough that someone couldn't handle the images he saw. <br /><br />Teddy Rose,<br /><br />I'm the opposite -- I avoid heavy, depressing books. I don't mind slotting one in, once in a while, because too much of a good thing can be boring. But, I go out of my way to find as many light, fun books as I can. I opted not to touch The Unit, last night. I'll get back to it in a couple of days, but after Scared it was just too much.Bookfoolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08247136634069540446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29370872.post-50011920215954593882009-06-14T23:49:05.153-05:002009-06-14T23:49:05.153-05:00Bookfool, I suffer from depression every once in a...Bookfool, I suffer from depression every once in awhile. I've got it pretty well managed not so when I do a bout it's small. Anyway, it seems to me that many people who suffer from depression tend to read a lot of depressing books. LOL! I tend to like heavy books with heavy topics. I have found that is good for me to try to slip a lighter book into the mix at least once in awhile. That said, I am looking forward to The Unit.Teddy Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16145413222317511542noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29370872.post-73256085878271112492009-06-14T23:19:14.883-05:002009-06-14T23:19:14.883-05:00thanks for posting about it, Bookfool.

And I have sometimes wondered about the cost of taking these kinds of photos - which are terribly needed, but the toll on the photographer who has to be a silent witness.....I'll be looking out for these books now.Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09095246748581382752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29370872.post-50542486030797702682009-06-14T22:07:32.641-05:002009-06-14T22:07:32.641-05:00Amy,
