Sinister: Its origin and purpose, still a total mystery....

[Laura Llew]

Greetings from the beautiful south (the place not the group)! Its been a 
weak since I've been home and its quite lovely here. Though, I am quite 
disheartened that I was not able to meet any sinisterines while I was in 
Utah and N. Cali. Angelic Alyssa Marie, Dreamy Dan Hooper, and Thrillin Tom 
Y. all seem to be quite charming in their own little way. Why Dan even plays 
the mandolin. I've never heard the mandolin (or the lute for that matter). 
Oh, but today I had an afternoon full of the fiddle. Ahh Mark O'Connor  Jean 
Luc Ponty, Stephane Grappelli, Benny Thomasson and Charlie Daniels. It was 
marvelous! Oh, how I do love stringed instruments.

Well, enough rambling. I'm trying a new thing out with my posts. That is to 
*drum roll please*.... actually, having a purpose in them. Yes, I do have a 
reason for posting. Don't everyone fall over from shock all at once now. 
Good thing you're already sitting down. But I have a favor to ask of y'all. 
And its a lot easier than the last favor asked of you all to sacrifice your 
first born. Boy, was that a bloody mess! This one is simple.

Since being home, I haven't been up to much. Well, except for taking care of 
my father who just had his leg amputated. Other than being gopher girl for a 
few weeks, I have my time to myself and its wonderful. I've never been one 
for lacking to find something to do that amuses me. So, there is no way I'm 
bored at all. One of the things that I'm estatic to have time to do is to 
read. Oh how I love books! But there are so many to choose from. So, I was 
wondering if each of you (yes you right there) could e-mail me (personally. 
oh honey would have my hide if you mailed the list. Far be it from me to do 
anything that would make honey sneer at yours truly) with the title and 
author of your favorite book(s). You can send just the name or you can even 
tell me a little about it. Whatever. Its just that I know (or hope) that 
everyone has had that experience of reading a book that has really touched 
them, filled them with joy, or inspired them to higher levels (like doing 
your laundry). Something that you have read that you think everyone should 
be exposed to. I, personally, like to read everything. Though, I do prefer 
classics over John Grisham recycled plots with the static elements of a 
young lawyer and the city of Memphis. Picky of me, I know. I'll compile the 
list of books and then have a great selection to choose from. And of course, 
I'll be happy to share the end product with any other listerines. I figure 
that since you all have such wonderful taste in music it must overflow in 
your reading material as well. So e-mail me and I'll keep everyone up to 
date on the progress of the Laura Llew Literary List of 99. It'll be great 
fun.

Also, is there anyone in the south besides Bashful Blake on the list. In 
October, I'll be a roadtrip maniac going to Greensboro, NC the first 
weekend, Northeastern Virginia the second weekend, and Columbia SC the third 
one. I don't know how plausible it is for any meetups but still it would be 
good to know other people who are in this area. Anything is possible - just 
not mathematically probable.

*quite proud of myself for writing a purposeful, even if it does have 
horrific grammar, post*
