Bouncy wrote:Indeed. Trekkers get very annoyed at being called Trekkies
The term "Trekkie" is sometimes considered derogatory, perhaps because of a perceived parallel to the term "groupie". Some Star Trek enthusiasts prefer the term "Trekker", while some others hold the latter term to be stupid or pretentious, and, for that reason, self-identify as "Trekkies". Some Trekkies even hold that a "Trekker" is a "Trekkie" who is embarrassed of being a "Trekkie". On the other hand, "Trekker" is sometimes used as a term for the kind of Star Trek fan who is obsessed with the minutiae and the fine details. A Trekkie was considered to be someone stupid and embarrassing to intelligent and serious fans known as Trekkers. The classic stereotype is a clueless Trekkie walking around wearing rubber Spock ears and being held up to public ridicule for his obsession. Trekkie vs Trekker mirrors the Sci-Fi vs SF debate.
A Trekker wears a STARFLEET uniform to a convention because its fun…
A Trekkie wears a uniform to a convention because s/he has heard that it is in style at the academy.
A Trekker has a STARFLEET Academy window sticker on his car…
A Trekkie is cramming for the entrance exams.
A Trekker thinks Wil Wheaton was a lucky kid who got to play a kid on Star Trek…
A Trekkie thinks that Wesley Crusher was a lucky kid who got to sit on the bridge.
A Trekker thinks that it is a shame that the show is coming to an end…
A Trekkie thinks that it is a shame that the crew is being reassigned and the Enterprise is being decommissioned.
A Trekker knows that there are gaping holes in the technology, but ignores them and enjoys the show…
A Trekkie can't wait for the price to come down on those home food replicator units."
Those self-identified trekkies, however, have their own fodder to fling. They associate the term trekkers with pretentious nuts obsessed over minutiae and details. Moreover, they accuse 'trekkers' of being too ashamed to admit they are 'trekkies.' Apparently this camp has the good graces of Gene Roddenbury, the creator of Star Trek. According to his former assistant, Richard Arnold, Gene Roddenbury spoke during a convention and used the term trekkie. Someone attempted to correct him, to which he responded, "Excuse me, did you say 'TrekkER?' The word is 'TrekkIE.' I should know, I created them."
And so the question still rings, trekkers or trekkies? What is the correct term of usage? My advice? When labeling any group of people, political correctness rules the day. Just to play it safe, maybe use "Star Trek enthusiast."

BONIFAY — "One of the questions we get asked the most is how does sending money out to a big organization like the American Cancer Society help small counties like Holmes County," said DeAnna Oldham, Event Chair of the Holmes County Relay for Life. "They think that because there isn't a research facility in Holmes County that the money isn't coming back into Holmes County. What they fail to realize is that the majority of the money goes to pay for Holmes County residents who leave for treatments."
Oldham added that there is many programs located in Holmes County still that help provide services and good to cancer patients within Holmes County.
One organization that the money does come back into Holmes County for is The Closet, located at the Holmes County Chamber of Commerce located less than a block from the old Bonifay Hospital at 106 East Byrd Avenue in Bonifay.
The Closet provides hats, scarves, work hats for both men and women, wigs of all kinds and colors, prosthetic breasts, bras of all kinds and colors specially made for prosthetic breasts, cammies/softies, handmade comfy pillows, make-up availability, drivers, gas money, hotel and motel vouchers, supplies, support groups and single support from those who've experienced cancer and much more.
Elaine Mayfield, volunteer with The Closet, said that her volunteer work with The Closet has changed her life.
"I came in expecting to work with people who are dying," said Mayfield. "Instead I found that I'm working with people who are truly living."
Julia Bullington, coordinator and volunteer with The Closet, said that it puts things into perspective.
"You get to thinking that all life's little issues are so important," said Bullington. "There's meetings and schedules and appointments and they're all so very important until you gain perspective from some of these women who come in who are truly living their lives to the fullest each day and suddenly you see what in life truly matters."
Bullington and Mayfield shared a story about an elderly woman in her mid 70s that came in after much cancer treatment and was looking to get a wig to replace the hair she had lost.
"Originally she had this neat salt and pepper hair and we fitted her with hair that was really close to what she had before," said Bullington. "Her husband was sitting in their vehicle with a magazine waiting and when she first came out with her wig he just glanced up and said that it was nice and went on reading."
Bullington said she went back in and decided to go with a wig much like '70s model and actress Farrah Fawcett.
"When she walked out with that wig on he put down his magazine, he came out of the car and his eyes lit up," said Bullington. "The first words that came out of his mouth were 'you are beautiful!'"
Mayfield explained that the most that women are looking for when they come to The Closet is to feel normal again; "to feel like a woman again."
Mayfield said that her first experience was with a woman who had a radical Mastectomy, which is where they surgically removal of one or both breasts, partially or completely.
"I wasn't prepared for what I saw," said Mayfield. "It was horrible and I tried to be respectful and remain steady, but it was her to say 'they made a mess, didn't they?' I never would have imagined just how courageous and strong they are, even with their frail bodies."
She said after that experience she had made it her goal to help correct the "messes" that cancer had made in the lives of these people's lives.
"What people do is come here looking for simple things like a scarf or a wig and they end up finding so much more," said Bullington. "I didn't realize how much I would've become involved and how much of me would be leaving with every person. It's an amazing feeling watching these women transform into beautiful, happy women; going from sad to joyful."
Mayfield told about a young lady in her late twenties who had a double Mastectomy came in and said "can you just give me some boobs and a wig?" and "can we get those a couple sizes bigger?"
"The most amazing part is when she said she felt like a woman again," said Mayfield. "We got her into her wig and her new bra and she looked in the mirror and said 'Oh my gosh! I'm kinda hot!' That's what makes this all worth while; giving back what cancer has stolen."
Mayfield also added there was a program that gave free make-up makeovers for cancer patients which includes free make-up valued in the hundreds of dollars.
"They use top-of the line products to restore facial tissue and renew a woman's appearance after it has been ravaged by countless cancer treatments," said Mayfield. "The clinics are located in Dothan and Crestview and the patients do have to get there on their own, but it is more than worth it."
Bullington wanted to clarify that The Closet isn't there just for breast cancer patients and they do give replacement prosthetics, bras, etc.
"It's great when they get a wig and they ask how much it is and we can tell them it is free because of those who support their local Relay for Life and give to the American Cancer Society," said Bullington. "So I say that if they want to repay them then when they get better they should give back by becoming a team member for Relay for Life and raise money for others just like them. It's a very rewarding challenge and it makes you appreciate what you have."

T68 Paintball Guns are .68 caliber markers that
exactly replicate the look, ergonomics, and feel of the M16/M4 rifles. T68
Paintball Guns are readily upgradable with dozens of accessories like
multi-position collapsible stocks, electronic and telescopic sights, and a
rugged electronic trigger group capable of semi, burst, and fully automatic
functioning. T68 Paintball Guns accept both CO2 and compressed air. For the most
tactical look and feel, connect your tank with a remote line, or use on onboard
CO2 cylinder hidden in the stock or in what looks like a grenade launcher.
T68 Paintball Guns accept all standard hoppers, or you can go tactical with an 18 round detachable magazine available standard on many models, and as an easily attached accessory for others. T68 Paintball Guns shoot standard .68 caliber paintballs and can be used at any paintball field! They operate on both CO2 and compressed air, attached via remote line or hidden onboard in a collapsible stock or faux grenade launcher.
T68 Paintball Guns feature the revolutionary SplitFire twin-feed system that enables you to use either the magazine alone, or the hopper alone, and with both installed, index back and forth between the two as easily as rotating a collar. This puts you in charge of scenarios and special missions that require restricted paint colors, or where you need eighteen backup shots available in a pinch.
T68 Paintball Guns provide you with an experience that is as real as possible, with detachable magazines and amazing functionality, the look and feel of the real thing and dependability that you can count on.
When you need exciting gear for scenarios, training, or just having fun, the T68 Paintball Guns with their optional magazine feed systems will take you to that next level of realism. T68 Paintball Guns are fantastic scenario markers, with unique aesthetics and function that will set you apart at the field.

Gallery: meet the supercars of Monaco
At race weekend there's a lot more than F1 cars to gawp at…
Posted: 26 May 2014
Monaco is the second smallest country in the world, but it must boast the highest supercar-to-human ratio on the planet.
Which may be thanks to the fantastic roads that surround the city, or it may be thanks to the dearth of personal income tax. Either way, you'd be hard pressed to find more exotic metal in one place. With the possible exception of London's swankier boroughs.
Provided you don't get distracted by the upgraded women or stop to laugh at every pair of terrible sunglasses, it's quite a lot easier to get around than our fine capital. You can walk from one end of the country to the other in about an hour. Which is exactly the job we tasked our intrepid supercar paparazzo, Alex Penfold, before this weekend's race.
Now click on to see what he found. Then observe the fruits of his previous adventures in the principality here and here.

Rated 3.7 out of 5Â by 3 reviewers.
Rated 4 out of 5Â by SandyBelle Sweet and simple I ordered this dress in a small/petite , i'm usually a size 2-4 and i'm 5'3". the dress is very cute and the color is true in the pictures, the only problem was that its to big, i think one size down would have been better. its a good transition piece that i can wear now with a cream t-shirt and short boots and later with a long sleeve, tights, a Maryjane heel or tall boots. 9.11.2012
Rated 5 out of 5Â by JackieSimeon Pure simple love I absolutely love this dress, I already have tons of outfit ideas planned for it. I bought it in the orange and the color is true to the picture but like the other reviews it does run large so I would go down a size if you wanted it to skim your body more. 12.15.2012
Rated 2 out of 5Â by Mollykate Runs Large I am 5' tall and typically wear a size small or 0 in dresses. When I tried this dress on, it was way too large. The straps were slipping off of my shoulders and the extra fabric gaped at the armholes. Usually I am still comfortable wearing clothing that is a little too big, but this was very unflattering. I would recommend sizing down or steering clear of this dress if you are petite. 11.29.2012

IOWA CITY The perception was the University of Iowa wrestling team had its back against the wall.
After a two-dual losing streak, a pair of red-shirt freshmen led the Hawkeyes' fight back.
Nick Moore and Mike Evans gained praise from Coach Tom Brands and other Hawkeyes as they scored bonus points in third-ranked Iowa's 19-17 Big Ten dual victory over No. 3 Minnesota in front of 9,511 fans Sunday at Carver-Hawkeye Arena.
Iowa (10-3, 5-2) dropped the Gophers (9-3, 6-1 Big Ten), who the last team unbeaten in conference duals.
"Coach kept saying our backs are up against the wall ... maybe," Evans said about Iowa Coach Tom Brands. "Once you find yourself in that position you get fired up because no one likes their back against the wall. We like doing the exact opposite to our opponent.
"We like to be the ones on top not trying to fight our way up to the top."
After the dual, attention turned quickly to the young middleweights who won by major decision and pin.
"I'm going to say two things. Glory to God," Brands said before pointing at Evans and Moore. "And ask these guys because they're the ones that did it."
The duo sandwiched a midway intermission with impressive victories. Evans (165) returned from the break, putting the Hawkeyes up for good. He built a 7-0 lead over 14th-ranked Cody Yohn before turning him for the fall in 6:02, and Iowa led, 19-4.
Sixth-ranked Evans, a strong rider, flattened Yohn in the third, turning him with a power-half and adjusting to flatten Yohn. Once he built a big lead, Evans was seeking bonus points and delivered the decisive ones.
"I've been pretty sloppy in my last couple matches," Evans said. "To actually start scoring points on top in a big match like that is awesome."
In recent road losses to Ohio State and Penn State, the Hawkeyes proved susceptible to momentum shifts. This time they used it to their advantage.
"When Nick went out there and got bonus points that was pushing me," Evans said. "I've got to go out there and get bonus points. We rolled well off each other for this match."
Moore (157) helped thwart a Minnesota role with his major decision, answering the major decision by Gopher Dylan Ness a match earlier. Moore used an early takedown and a five-point headlock to handle Alec Ortiz, 11-2.
"It was nice for once," Moore said. "It's important. It sets the tone for the match. Lately, I've been getting too far down in matches. It helps you all the way through the match just to control the whole match rather than trying to come on at the end."
Moore was given instructions to be smart, wrestle and pounce on extra points. He responded, adding a takedown and 3:26 of riding time.
"It was a pretty tight dual," Moore said. "You needed every bonus point you can get."
Iowa received a spark from its regular igniter, Matt McDonough. The second-ranked McDonough faced top-ranked Zach Sanders in a marquee match at 125.
The Hawkeyes' former NCAA champion and two-time finalist thumped Sanders, 7-1, to open the dual.
"There are a lot of emotions," McDonough said. "You're naturally a little anxious, a little nervous. You've got to recognize and embrace it, but you also have to be excited for the challenge."
McDonough scored a takedown and rode Sanders the remainder of the first period. He posted a reversal and takedown, riding Sanders the entire third period, dominating him for a fifth win in as many meetings. McDonough said he didn't have a precise explanation for success against Sanders.
"I don't have a special answer besides just hard wrestling," McDonough said. "You've got to wrestle tough opponents hard, because they're going to fight back."
Tony Ramos (133) and Montell Marion (141) won by decision, helping the Hawkeyes to a 9-0 lead. The entire team helped Iowa fight back from a short tough slide.
"First thing is this is a team win," Brands said. "Regardless of how pretty it is, if it's five to five in matches, it's a team win. Sometimes you have to give credit for a team win."
The Gophers were favored in the upper weights and closed with four straight wins. It wasn't enough to overcome the damage by Moore and Evans. The Gophers received good performances in spots, but couldn't manage a balanced team performance.
"We thought it would be decided in the middle," Minnesota Coach J. Robinson said. "In the essence, that made the difference."

Midwest Living Review
The Patten Homestead feels like the snowy setting of "Narnia." Giant Belgian horses pull sleighs down lantern-lit trails through a gorgeously flocked forest. The jingles and creaks of the sleigh join the clip-clop rhythm of the horses as you glide along. A round of "Jingle Bells" is inevitable. Mark Patten, the guide, knows every verse and can sing many more songs about sleigh rides. He and his wife, Nancy, run Okontoe, a Christian camp, in the summer, then welcome winter visitors from across the world to their remote acreage along Minnesota's Gunflint Trail and Bow Lake. It's an idyllic setting for 45-minute rides through the winter forest. Even with the modern wonders of hand-warmers and heaps of wool blankets and quilts, it can be numbing on the coldest nights. That's why the rides include sitting down with Nancy's homemade hot cocoa in the Patten's hand-hewn 1907 log cabin. With candlelight and lanterns, tin cups, bowls of marshmallows and a checkered tablecloth, the Pattens cast a spell of timelessness and a quieter era. They're sure, too, to warn visitors about moose on the roads as they leave. With Canada only 4 miles away (as the crow flies), this is about as far north as you can get before leaving the States. There are two to four rides nightly, Tuesday through Saturday from the second week in December through March. Early reservations recommended for Christmas through New Year's, Valentine's Day and President's Day weekend. $110 for a two-person ride to $260 for 12.

When Milwaukee resident Mary Bowers had her downstairs closet remodeled into a half-bath, the space wasn't large enough to accommodate much artwork. So the enterprising homeowner turned the walls themselves into art. Now the room bursts with red and orange poppies and bright green leaves on a dramatic black background.
The tiny space makes a big impression, and that's exactly the effect Bowers was seeking. "I wanted it to explode with color when people opened the door," she says. To create that effect, Bowers turned to Trillium Crafted Surfaces Ltd., a Milwaukee-based artist group.
"I knew immediately upon walking into Mary's house that she loved color," says Jennifer Innes, Trillium's design and color specialist. She and her partners Ray Strong and Kevin Schaefer worked with Bowers to develop a vivid design for the bathroom. The poppies were inspired by an oil sketch by turn-of-the-century portraitist John Singer Sargent and created using the following Trillium hand-tinted Sherwin-Williams coatings: Cashmere® Interior Latex paint, Eg-Shel underglaze and Illusions® Faux Finish Glazing Liquid™.
Custom murals help people inject their personality into their living spaces, Innes says. "The poppy piece definitely speaks to Mary's vibrant personality."
Maureen Kesselring of Ann Arbor, Mich., didn't want bold, but instead something calming and elegant on her walls. While traveling in Europe, she fell in love with Italian frescoes. "They have so much history," she says. "I wanted to bring a piece of that back to Michigan."
Kesselring hired artist Martin Soohoo to paint a sky full of angels in soft sepia colors on the domed ceiling of her master bedroom.
Soohoo drew ideas from classical reference books and consulted often with Kesselring throughout the process. "Martin paints with a Q-tip. I would stop by, and he would be on his back dotting away," Kesselring says. "He'd always ask for my input."
For the more than 40 angels on Kesselring's ceiling, Soohoo chose a soft palette of creamy whites, light blues and cinnamon for flesh tones, creating a look reminiscent of tea-washed linen. "It's very calming," says Kesselring.
Subtlety of color is paramount to Soohoo. "Whoever sees the mural can mentally control the color," he says. And as daylight moves through the room, it casts shadows across the soft hues that suggest other shades. "You see dusty purples that aren't even there."
Soohoo uses Sherwin-Williams primer as a base for all his murals to help the paintings endure over time. "I really like the body of the paint as it sets up," he says. "It bonds well." That's important to him because his clients are investing in a work of art, and he has invested "a part of my soul" in creating one for them.
"I would like to think that in 100 years, they'll still be there. I hope they'll be the subject of restoration rather than replacement."

"I bought this as a little gift for my boyfriends son who is 5 since we were moving to a new home and he was nervous. He is in love with it and it is impossible to ever get him off. It is super durable considering when he plays games he "superman jump's" on it." (E62935)
"tested it at my recent U-10 game. Every bit as loud as a fox 40 and has a nice buzz to it. Good buy to use a tournaments cause everyone has a pea whistle or fox 40.

The Judgement
The career of Bob Thompson, the noted African American artist, was cut short by his early death at the age of twenty-eight. Thompson was born near Louisville, Kentucky, and studied at the University of Louisville and at Boston University. In the early and mid-1960s, he traveled throughout Europe and experienced many Renaissance paintings and other artworks firsthand. He fused the vigor and vibrancy of Expressionism with themes from Old Master compositions and the vivid palette of Fauve painting to create the original visual vocabulary exemplified by The Judgment. Recalling such time-honored Old Master subjects as the Last Judgment and the Judgment of Paris, here a nude male trio sits before faceless winged female angels while two figures (at left) await judgment. The planar, flattened figures and compositional contours in a gesturally applied background are all equally emphasized.

My son made me this Perler bead trinket last week…and it was the perfect color inspiration for a new fall quilt! Because the 5 fall quilts I've already made just aren't cuttin' it…. ahem.
So a stack of fabric turned into a pretty pile of scraps before anyone could notice I was making another fall quilt.
This will be the third quilt I've ever (ever ever) made with purple in it…and it's growing on me. Especially with aqua, orange, and brown in there too…it's a pretty combo.
We woke up to a fun surprise this morning….6 new baby bunnies hidden in that nest!!!! It was better than Christmas morning at our house.
Just leave a comment on this post and in 8 weeks a baby bunny will be delivered to your door step.
I'm not kidding.
My husband will track you down and leave you a bunny to keep his crazy wife from keeping them all. ;)

David Proulx

Of the innumerable books that I have read over the years I mention just a few, including the year of publication (is also when I read it) and what it meant to me at that time.

04. Anaïs Nin – Erotica (1979)

The Hero with 1000 Faces - Joseph Campbell.
Numerous Poetry Anthologies.
Nov 15 2011: QUOTE: "The Hero with 1000 Faces - Joseph Campbell."
Scott, I hadn't seen your post and was going to include Campbell's 1000 Faces on my list but one of our employees came in for a meeting (darn work interfering with the fun stuff!)
Nov 15 2011: In an age dominated by rational thought, there's something beautiful about common images and archetypes manifesting themselves seemingly because they are some kind of lance to a psychic boil.
People will grow in spite of themselves.
I found it a fascinating read and it gave me another way of viewing life. Not as much pin-point certainty as 'science' but just as satisfying.
Mr Khan
Nov 26 2011: There are quite a few books that have inspired me but more recently its:

Nov 24 2011: SHOGUN, James Clavell
- +1
This book has definitely opened a new side in my point of view of life,
A very enchanting and ancient one i must say.
This book i think also made me more understanding and accepting for other cultures.
Right, it's 1000 pages novel... But when it's about to end.. U WISH FOR A 1000 MORE!
Austin R
Nov 22 2011: The Bible... Disregarding the veracity or lack thereof, it has taught me more than any other book. (I'm not religious, so save any harsh words.)
- +1
Crack open Proverbs or Ecclesiastes for a wealth of wisdom, insight, (and depression).
Clark Ho
Nov 19 2011: "Man searching for meaning" by Dr Frankl - very inspiring, help me to regain focus everytime when time goes bad, when i starting to lose hope in difficult situations. Realizing a lot of the bad emotions and bad feelings are self induced. Knowing your meaning for the situations and for your path, then the rest is just solving it.
- +1
" A brief history of time" by Stephen Hawking - just sometime i love - sometime that i always get fascinated by.
Nov 22 2011: Man's Search for Meaning is truly inspirational! I feel it must be made a must read in all schools and colleges. It has a genuine message of hope even in the direst and worst of human circumstances ( Holocaust).
Aybike Bıyık
Nov 19 2011: Like the book Black Coffee by Agatha Christie which have lots of actions,speculations, is not effective on me.on the other hand Improbable by Adam Fawer inspired me so much.Before reading I believe quantum theory and I researched about it then I read and I couldn't believe how did Adam Fawer write this book perfectly? How did he fictionalize these events with Quantum Theory and Laplace's demon..I read it 3 times and I am stiil inspired.
- +1
Nov 21 2011: i love that book
black coffeeNov 19 2011: The Alchemist
Chris Ryan
Nov 19 2011: Hot, Flat, and Crowded. Friedman brings a laundry list of observations and solutions about today's big issues. It gets you thinking in a different way, which is what we all need to start doing.Nov 19 2011: Brave New World by Aldous Huxley
- +1
It taught me that I am not alone in my fears of what mankind could become. That and I very much relate to John the savage
Bruno Serman
Nov 18 2011: My favourite book is One Hundred Years of Solitude, from Gabriel Garcia Marquez.
- +1
This book tells the history of several generations of a family whose patriarch founds a city in order to live a better life.
But the best part is its end, where the author deciphers the whole history in just two or three paragraphs!
Another great book is Black Swan, from Nicholas Nassim Taleb.
Both books are extraordinary!!!
Sanket Gupta
Nov 18 2011: Man's Search for Meaning by Viktor Frankl.
- +1
In the book, he explains that even in direst of circumstances that humans can be put in (Nazi Concentration Camp), if its possible for one man to find meaning, its possible for all. I find a genuine message of hope, action and meaning in his book. And the book completely changed the way I look at my life, and the life of others.
Which is the book that you find most inspiring?Nov 18 2011: Richard Dawkins The Selfish Gene is a wonderful book for grasping the nature of biology
Nov 18 2011: True, Selfish Gene is one of the best books ever regarding the understanding of the basic principles of life and man.
Miao matt
Nov 18 2011: The book marcus aurelius meditation have inspired me so deeply.his attitudes on life,death and time are brilliant.
- +1
Nov 25 2011: me too. after I have read Sophie's world. the second book it is this one.in philosophy and everything gives me a lotNov 17 2011: I like dystopias, like "Brave new world" by Aldous Huxley, or "1984" by George Orwell or "Fahrenheit 451" by Ray Bradbury. These are novels that make you think a little... but actually the books that have most inspired me were "Walden" by Henry David Thoreau, "Walden 2" by B. F. Skinner and "Karamazov Brothers" by Fiódor Dostoyevski.
Have a good reading!Nov 16 2011: East of Eden by John Steinbeck. The very old Chinese scholars who took up the study of the Hebrew (?) language in order to understand the biblical story of Cain and Abel.
Alex Blanes
Nov 16 2011: Among many others: Martin Buber's "I and Thou", Joseph Campbell's "Hero with a Thousand Faces", Bill Plotkin's "Soulcraft", and David Whyte's poetry collection "The House of Belonging".
- +1

John Taylor Gatto - Weapons of Mass Instruction
Jostein Gaarder - Sophie's World
J.D. Salinger - The Catcher in the Rye
The Prophet
Greg Mortenson - Three Cups of Tea
Nov 21 2011: I think I'll give a try to Gatto and Mortenson. Catching titles :)
Nov 21 2011: You won't be disappointed Alice! Gatto changed my whole outlook on the education system, and Mortenson has shown a better way of tackling terrorism from the ground up with schools instead of bombs.
Nov 24 2011: I noticed in your profile that you work as a teacher as well, it's right your domain! I took note of the titles and authors and put them in my list of future readings. I like new points of views and ideas in this field, I think it is the basis to start from to change everything askew in the world :)Nov 25 2011: Jostein Gaarder - Sophie's World
this book opend the interesting of philosophy for me :)Nov 15 2011: In Cold Blood by Truman Capote introduced a fear of being alone at home in the country when I hadn't been afraid before. Children the Challenge by Rudolf Dreikurs made me a good mother . . . I think.Dec 13 2011: Hello Tarek, here are some of them:

Canek - Ermilo Abreu Gomez
Billions and Billions - Carl Sagan
Understanding Power - Noam Chomsky
A People's History of the United States - Howard Zinn
Adam's Fallacy - Duncan K. Foley

but I became depressed till now .....Nov 29 2011: The King James Bible.Nov 28 2011: My family and other animals. by Gerald Durrell.
absolute delight. If you want to feel happy read thisNov 27 2011: My short list:
War and Peace.
I picked it up when I was a very, very young girl, so young I couldn't understand too much of the language. At first I was frustrated, but then I made it my goal to learn enough so when I grew older, I could understand the words and situations represented in the novel. Now that I am older, I haven't read it, but it inspired me in a sense, more than reading it could have.
The Bible.
Now, when reading it, I did not literally interpret the stories as things that actually happened in history. I thought I was a wonderful compilation of fiction meant to entertain my young mind while teaching me simple morals to live by. I thought it was amazing, and growing up coming to the realization that some actually believe these things happened, the amazingness never ceased, but it helped explain a lot about human nature.
The Origin of Consciousness and the Breakdown of the Bicameral Mind
I bought this book of a whim; I saw it in between two books I knew I'd hate and instantly felt like I had to save it from its initial resting place. I don't regret buying it one bit. It introduced to me a new way of looking at a past no one is old enough to have anything but theories about. I view this book as the one thing that introduced me to the study of the mind-an interest I was almost searching for in order to validate its need to exist in my life.
Ender's Game.
I just looked down the list and remembered this book. It changed the way I viewed novels when I was a child. Something about the story hit home for me, maybe the indirect pressure and importance a child does not realize that society tries to place on them due to their potential. Its exhausting.
There was also a book of logic puzzles I used to mull over, something I stole from my bookshelf. Again, I was too young to correctly answer at least 50-75 percent of them, but first learning the answer and then challenging myself to figure out how it was reached was pretty cool.Nov 27 2011: Book on Steve Jobs-"Inside Steve's Brain" has inspired me most...his obsession of perfection and challenging the tradition and making unusual vision true...oh gosh he is the smartest person till now in business world...and now i am reading "coming jobs of war" by Jim Clifton...that is more amazing book...i strongly recommend all entrepreneurs and explorer and also to those who love to see weirdest things happening around them.Nov 25 2011: enders game - orson scot card
The Little Prince - Antoine de Saint-ExupéryNov 24 2011: Steppenwolf, Herman HesseNov 24 2011: My #1 choice would have to be "Chaos" by James Gleick. It made me look at the whole world in a new way, as well as re-awakened my interest in mathematics and computation.Nov 24 2011: Change Your Thinking, Change Your Life - Brian Tracy
The Simple Secrets For Becoming Healthy Wealthy and Wise - David Niven
My Big Idea - Rachel Bridge
EtcNov 24 2011: How to Win Friends and Influence People by Dale Carnegie. A good self-help book which helps me dealing with people in my social-life.Nov 24 2011: Totto Chan: The Little Girl at the Window. Tetsuko Kuroyanagi
Experience and Education. John Dewey
Mindfulness. Ellen Langer
Nov 24 2011: Totto Chan: The Little Girl at the Window. Tetsuko Kuroyanagi
this book is great. I much enjoyed it when reading. the way how to educate the kids. showed their nature stuffs.Nov 23 2011: Gut Check-Tarek Saab
The tipping point- Malcolm Gladwell
Outliers: Malcolm Gladwell
Blink: Malcolm Gladwell
Predictably Irrational: Dan Ariely
The upside of irrationality- Dan Ariely
Oedipus the KingNov 23 2011: This book deeply influenced me a lot:
"Myself and Other More Important Matters"
by Charles Handy
In this book Handy had a honest reflection on life, work and business.Nov 23 2011: Also sprach Zarathustra by Friedrich Nietzsche
La Chute by Albert Camus
El Aleph by Jorge Luis Borges
The art of war by Sun Tzu
The Odyssey by Homer
Der Steppenwolf by Hermann Hesse
Lord of the rings and the hobbit by JRR Tolkien
The Golden Apples of the Sun by Ray Bradbury
El corazon de piedra verde by Salvador de Madariaga

A Confederacy of Dunces by John Kennedy Toole
Childhood's End by Arthur C. Clarke
Brave New World by Aldous Huxley
Historias de cronopios y de famas by Julio Cortazar
Sobre heroes y tumbas by Ernesto Sabato
I will stop now…
I got exited and wrote many names. Refreshing exorcise and interesting that I read almost all these books as a teen.
With the exception of El obsceno pajaro de la noche. More resent books (even books I liked a lot) don't evoke such strong memories/emotions.
Thank you for making me remember all this.

Also, even though I am not really a religious person, I find it odd that in 100 comments, no one has mentioned the Bible (or any holy book that I could see). So, given that I have read it, and that it was inspiring in many ways, here you go:

Rachel Carson's books of the sea: "The Sea Around Us" and "The Edge of the Sea" from the 1950s. Inspiring.
Theodor Rosebury's "Life on Man," the 1960s, classic about the microscopic and bacterial world.

MilneFavorite quote from the book, "A little consideration, a little Thought for Others makes all the difference.Nov 22 2011: James Redfield: The Celestine Prophecy is a wonderful book, so inspiring! It bring me to understand a lot of aspects of life not visible and visible to our eyes. I am sure that everyone who will read this book will not stay indifferent. After reading this book i became aware of many different life situations and now i know that a real life starts when you become conscious about it.Nov 22 2011: 《Chinese Poetic>Nov 22 2011: Sons and Lovers, D H Lawrence
London Fields, Martin Amis
Tess of the d'Urbervilles, Thomas Hardy
I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings, Maya AngelouNov 22 2011: I read "El Tunel" by Ernesto Sabato when I was thirteen years old, the reason I loved it and why it influenced me so much is that at that young age it was the first time I felt treated like an adult, the author confided in me all of the secrets that were in the mind of Juan Pablo Castel, the protagonist; I got a glimpse of what life and love could be in my future and it felt...exciting. I am now 25 years old and though my adulthood didn't exactly turned out like Juan Pablo's (thank God on restrospect) I still treasure the importance of being shown respect as a reader.Nov 22 2011: King Solomon's mine by H.Rider HaggardNov 21 2011: Cybernetics and Society:The Human Use of Human Beings by Norbert Weiner

Wittgenstein's "Tractatus logico philosophicus"
my first animal encyclopedia and children's bible probably influenced me a lot.
A lot of manuals and books from college as well
As for fiction:

Lord of the Rings drew me into fantasy role playing, games,...
