Intransitives, Thistle, are migrant workers who are here one day and gone the next. Aslan is obviously talking about the way these people talk.

Thankyou Joc........I guessed the part about " how they talk " but as for the rest.....I repeat .....Huh ?????? do they really talk differently ?.........that's another topic though so please do not answer the question lol

On a lighter note

I've just taken delivery of " Criminal Shadows: Inside the mind of the serial killer " by David Canter........been waiting for weeks weeks for this to arrive so it better be good lol

I have to apologize Thistle....I was actually making a joke...sorry

I was purposefully mis-characterizing the word...intransitives..as 'transients'. Transients are people who only stay a short time in one place. I was even further mis-characterizing the word 'transients' to include migrant workers, who in the states are mostly of Mexican origin and hence speak Spanish more often than English. Intransitives are verbs, or verb constructs which do not require a direct object to complete their meaning. Aslan is reading a book entitled The Function of the English Verb. I apologize for my lame attempt at humor.

I just finished From Potters Field by Patricia Cornwell, it was good, but lacked the detail i am used to reciving from Stephen King. I just started The Dark Half by Stephen King. And not to get off the topic, but i just saw Secret Window last night and it was great... varried from the book just a little, but kept true to the story.

I usually have a few different books going at a time, in different styles. I am a big Louis L'amour fan, and am working through his series of books now.

My wife and I take turns reading to each other at night, almost always it is a good old cowboy story...

Right now we are reading "Westward the Tide" by L'amour. About 75% of his stories are the same basic plot; they are your typical western stories. Good guy/Bad guy-White hat/Black hat. His main characters seem to be one of three different types of cowboys that he chooses from...even with the similarities, I still enjoy the writing; very descriptive and beautiful...

Just started reading "Scripts People Live" (transactional analysis of life scripts) by Claude Steiner.

My late uncle was a huge LL fan also. He had the entire series of books in Leather Bound Edition. He was also a 'gun nut'. He loved guns and everything about the old west. I have read a few LL books. Good reading!

I'm currently reading Brave New World by Aldous Huxley.

A very fascinating novel of a satirical view of the future, where cloning and the "conditioning" of humans are taken extravangantly with technological and biological mass production becomes seemingly a key.

[soulfire78]

Currently chin deep in Black's Microbiology: Principles and Explorations, 5th edition. It's a really great source of info on microbes, but the editors could have done a far better job. The amount of spelling errors is almost alarming for a professional text!

On the side-Serving up a side of Harry Potter: Order of the Phoenix, for about the 3rd time. I like the series, but this last book is very dark, full of teenage me-ism type angst. Really makes me want to reach thru the pages and tell this kid (Potter) to pull his head outta his **** and realise he is cared for. Grrr...

PS Blue Scorpion-Brave new world was one of my all time fav's! Reminded me of the movie Gattica (or vice versa).
