The second half gets more into summarizing actual cases where people either survived or did not. What is interesting is that most of the cases that are discussed in the book, especially those that are discussed at length, have other books written by the individuals involved with the survival situation.”

“More garden porn!

The "Seeds of Change" catalog just arrived!”

“Recently I read the girl with the Dragon tattoo trilogy. The final book, "The girl who Kicked the Hornets nest" was a page turner that I couldn't put down until it was done.

After that I read a book by Bernard Cornwell called "The Fort" about a little known battle of The (United states) Revolutionary War. "The Penobscot Expedition (in 1779) was an attempt by the militia and navy of Massachusetts to evict a small British garrison from Fort George in what is now Castine, in Maine. Massachusetts assembled the largest rebel fleet of the revolution . . . and lost it all. It's a story of incompetence and lost opportunities, which leads to the worst naval disaster in American history prior to Pearl Harbor."”

“Yea...they are pretty emotional and sometimes dark. Weight of the Water..is that the one you balled over? That was heart wrenching. I haven't read her books in awhile an that was what was on the shelf. So far isn't toooo bad but I am afraid of what the ending will be.”
