mulan,

right on with Outlander series, and anything by Nelson deMille - deMille, could it have been Testament, or First Blood, or the Lieutenant's Daughter? He has so many great ones.

Here's a couple of my other favs

Mists of Avalon by Marion Zimmer Bradley (also, any of her Darkover series - all in paperback xcellent sci-fi, don't have to be read in sequence)

The Womens Room by Marilyn French (also, My Mother, My Self)

Repairman Jack series by F. Paul Wilson, who also wrote The Keep, The Tomb (his books are about conflict of good vs evil)

White Ninja, Sian, Angel Eyes, or any of the Nicholas Linnear series by Eric Van Lustbader

On Writing by Stephen King (for anyone who LOVES to read and/or write)

any of the I, Robot books by Isaac Asimov (there's 14 in all, and they don't have to be read in sequence)

Alias Grace by Margaret Atwood

If you like legal thrillers, anything by Peri O'Shaughanessy (sp?)

King Rat, by James Clavell (prequel to the Shogun series)

Women Who Run With the Wolves by Clarissa Pinkola Estes

I Know Why The Caged Bird Sings, by Maya Angelou (and anything else she writes)

Night, by Elie Wiesel

OKAY, I'll stop now!

Poll: More Than Half of Americans Favor Law Barring Gay Marriage

interesting article, i just wanted to know what the rest thought about this.

seems like there is more homophobes in the us than i thought.. .

by will lester, associated press writer.

Will,

I find this surprising (and disturbing). Heck, it's the 21st century.

The figures here in CDA, I believe are more like 65% pro same-sex unions (to the best of my recollection).

I don't know if we have less homophobes, or just less homophobes in power? I know that there is a lot less violence (on the East coast) against the GLB community.

Most people that I've discussed this issue with seem to feel, if two folks love each other, shouldn't they have the right to marry? Also, religion and state seem to be a 'bit' more separated. Cause marriage is really about property, not religious beliefs.

... just my thoughts
