"O.K., I'll play...sort of" OK, I'll play, sort of...... I am currently reading Thomas King's Green Grass, Running Water. It was on the Canda Read's list a couple of summers ago - not sure that I would recommend it as I enjoy it some days and can't get through but a few pages on others. There are many interwoven stories and I am struggling a bit with the format.

The only book I have read that I would say is a must is Victor Frankl's 'Man's Search for Meaning'. The big idea is that 'even in the most hopeless and awful situations, a concentration camp, Frankl was able to exercise the most important freedom of all - the freedom to determine one's own attitude and spiritual well-being. No sadistic Nazi SS guard was able to take that away from him.'

Now my top 10, though, is going to be those songs that I would have on a deserted island. 1. When Love Comes to Town - BB King with U2 2. What's Up - Four Non-Blondes 3. I Think I Love You to Much - Jeff Healey 4. I'm Gonna Be - The Proclaimers 5. Sunshine of Your Love - Cream 6. So Alive - Love and Rockets 7. House of the Rising Sun - Eric Burdon and the Animals 8. Addicted to Love - Robert Palmer 9. I Go Wild - Rolling Stones 10. Hey Jude - Beatles and my extra - I Heard it Through the Grapevine - Marvin Gaye

If we could get everyones top ten we could put together a Retallack CD. Mike
