Book recommendations for my Mom?
She won’t read anything that she thinks has a nerdy connotation, which means nothing marketed as fantasy, science fiction, or horror. She won’t read young adult, anything too long, classics, or anything she realizes is published before the 21st century.

She keeps track of her books online, and she gave these negative ratings-
The Doctor’s Wife, She Said Yes, Swimsuit, Off Season, The Associate, The Memory Keeper’s Daughter, House of Sand and Fog, Always Looking Up, The Edge of Winter, Icy Sparks, For One More Day, The Five People you Meet in Heaven, My Sister’s Keeper, Into the Wild, Eat, Pray, Love, At First Sight, The Friday Night Knitting Club, The Tenth Circle, Dear John, Kiss the Girls, Memoirs of a Geisha, Nights in Rodanthe, The Lovely Bones, The Guardian, Crime and Punishment.

She didn’t give any books positive ratings.
Infinity- I agree. She made a resolution to read 12 books a year though.


Try -

1. The Dante Club by Matthew Pearl (a murder mystery)
2. On Beauty by Zadie Smith (might be too long?)
3. The Road by Cormac McCarthy (a story about a man and his son during a nuclear winter)
4. The Known World by Edward P. Jones (a little long and published in the 90’s, but REALLY GOOD, about a black slave owner in the antebellum south)
5. The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Nighttime (a murder mystery from the POV of an autistic boy)
6. The Time Traveller’s Wife by Audry Niffenegger (about a man who shifts unexpectedly into different time periods–not a sci-fi book even though there are some sci-fi elements)
7. A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius by Dave Eggers (about a guy who takes care of his little brother after his parents die)

I’ve never said this before, but maybe she should watch tv.

It sounds like she doesn’t like emotional books. Maybe she should try mystery or thriller books, like James Patterson or John Grisham.

I highly recommend "The Time Traveller’s Wife." Great, romantic book, without being cheesy (I’m not a fan of romance, but I loved this book!)

Any book by Jodi Picoult or Mitch Albom.

Tell your mom that she’s a close-minded bitch because there are few to no books that will meet her specifications.

Christians monotheists do you still practice "The Eucharist"?
The Eucharist, also called Holy Communion, Sacrament of the Table, the Blessed Sacrament, or The Lord’s Supper and other names, is a Christian sacrament or ordinance, generally considered to be a commemoration of the Last Supper, the final meal that Jesus Christ shared with his disciples before his arrest and eventual crucifixion. The consecration of bread and a cup within the rite recalls the moment at the Last Supper when Jesus gave his disciples bread, saying, "This is my body", and wine, saying, "This is my blood".

In the Lutheran Book of Concord, in the Apology of the Augsburg Confession, article 24, paragraph 1 it is asserted that among Lutherans in 1531 the eucharist was celebrated weekly: "In our churches Mass is celebrated every Sunday and on other festivals, when the sacrament is offered to those who wish for it after they have been examined and absolved." This was the Lutheran response to those who accused them of abolishing the eucharist. Strict adherence to this assertion varies in present day Lutheranism as does the manner of sacramental practice. Some congregations celebrate the eucharist in formal rites similar to the Roman Catholic and "high" Anglican services. Other congregations may celebrate the sacrament outside of traditional liturgical worship services, such as during in-home meetings and services. Administration of the sacrament varies between congregations. The bread can be a thin wafer, or leavened or unleavened. The wine may be administered via a common cup (the "chalice"), or through individual cups that may be either prefilled or filled from the chalice during the distribution of the sacrament. Intinction is acceptable, but rarely used. Some congregations that use wine, make grape juice available for those who are abstaining from alcohol, and some will accommodate those with an allergy to wheat or grapes.

So christians monotheists do you still practice "The Eucharist or Holy Communion" using the bread and wine? Thanks.


We don’t call it that in the Pentecostal church where I go or the Baptist church where I was raised. We just call it communion and we have it only about once a month. It is grape juice and small wafers.
