Some Books I’d Love to Have With Me If I Were Stranded on A Desert Island

1: The Bible-As a Christian, that’s a no brainer!

2: Anything by James Patterson-Got to have some action and mystery!

3: 2 or 3 books from the Game of Thrones series: They’re long, have to have something to kill time.

4: A few from Janet Evanovich’s Stephanie Plum series: mystery and humor. Stephanie’s always getting into some sort of trouble while bringing the bad guys in.

5: Any of my history books, I’d go crazy without them!

What’s your list?

Thanks And Praise To You Lord

That those polyps taken out of me during that colonoscopy came back clean!  I guess that shows that you have more for me to do, just please show me what it is!

If ever there was a book that sounded like it was written about me It was this one

 

A book cover with text

AI-generated content may be incorrect.One Fat Summer by Robert Lipsyte. Change my name for Bobby Marks’ and it does a good job echoing what I went through when I was a kid. The bullying because of my weight, the criticism from some of my own family, having few friends: sounds all too familiar. The only difference was that I still have not been able to lose weight even after over 40 years. I knew that there was probably going to be a lot of blowback in my mind when I read this, and I was right. I never want to read this book again, It’s the closest I’ve come to having a nervous breakdown!

Better Late Then Never

My Mom left me some money when she died, so I decided to use it to go back to school. I wanted to go to college after high school, but I was not in a good place when I graduated because of all the bullying done to me.  I’m taking classes at our local community college. So far, so good. I’m really enjoying it, and hopefully this marks a  new beginning!

It’s Not Fair

That all those that bullied me and otherwise tortured me in school are mostly happily married with families but I am all alone.

A Funny From My Childhood

Note from 1st grade teacher: Please have Billy slow down with his reading, it makes the other kids feel like they’re not any good!

I told you all that I think I learned how to read before anything else!

If I Were An Officer In Any Of The US Armed Forces..

I’d resign my commission effective January 20.  Trump not only wants to use the military to possibly take over Canada, Greenland, and the Panama Canal,  but also wants to use them against peaceful protesters.  I would want nothing to do with any of those actions.  They would be unlawful orders, but  I don’t think that would stop him.
