Magic Fills the Air Posted November 3, 2010 Share Posted November 3, 2010 By blackglove at 2010-10-22 What do you make of it? I've watched documentaries which suggest that the moon landing was fake, but I'm not convinced. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

spidersandsnakes Posted November 4, 2010 Share Posted November 4, 2010 What do you make of it? I've watched documentaries which suggest that the moon landing was fake, but I'm not convinced. The evidence produced by the author especially the photos unveiled where he demonstrates that the shadows are UNmistakingly FAKE is VERY convincing to me...among all the other evidence produced in the bibliography and notes in the book :). If you think that many movies look SO REAL (but they're ONLY movies), you get what I mean:) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Jahfin Posted November 4, 2010 Share Posted November 4, 2010 What do you make of it? I've watched documentaries which suggest that the moon landing was fake, but I'm not convinced. A few years back a friend of mine starting going on and on about black helicopters, D.B. Cooper, etc. and the Moon landings being a hoax. He was quickly reminded by an older brother of mine about a trip they took via charter plane back in the 70s to watch one of the Apollo missions lift off from Cape Canaveral. I think my brother worded it something like this, "do you think that was all staged just for our benefit"? Our friend never said another word about it after that.

Hotplant Posted November 8, 2010 Share Posted November 8, 2010 Just finished Willie Nelson An epic life by Joe Nick Patoski. Very good and well researched. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
manderlyh Posted November 9, 2010 Share Posted November 9, 2010 Recently, I've been reading a lot. I read Travels with Charley by John Steinbeck. LOVED it. I've also read A Separate Peace by John Knowles--it was a novel I could read again, but I didn't love it. Another one I've read is Out of the Dust by Karen Hesse. I liked this one a lot. It's about a girl who lived in Oklahoma during the Dust Bowl. I'm working on Stones Into Schools by Gregory Mortensen and Silas Marner by George Eliot. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

manderlyh Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 Just finished. I liked it. Just finished this one too. I liked it too. Finished this one too, didn't like it much. I may have to re-read it. I had a bit of disconnect with the characters. I'm now working on this one: Quote Link to post Share on other sites

manderlyh Posted November 28, 2010 Share Posted November 28, 2010 (edited) Without going all Book Club, for the people who have read Herman Melville Moby Dick... how did you get along? The reason I ask is most of the people I know seem to gave up halfway . I don't think I ever got past the first chapter or so. ...and I'm an English lit teacher! (I will NEVER assign that book to students, ever! Melville has short stories that are a bit more...engaging...that we can study instead.)

Mangani Posted November 28, 2010 Share Posted November 28, 2010 ^ I've always thought about reading Moby Dick but I don't think I will now. Bram Stoker's Dracula bored the pants off me during the middle 200 pages. By the way, hello Mandy. I don't see you around much these days. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
