Which wasn't many, since it didn't have psych as a major, but man, I love that stuff. The brain and its workings fascinate me. Sociology is a close second - the theories of society, feminism, culture, all that good stuff. Meaty!

Woohoo! Another Outlander fan! 
I don't know if things are done quite the same way down there as up here, but it's worth a shot to mention it.  If your grocery stores have community bulletin boards, look at them every time you go shopping - and if not, check your local papers for listings. What you're looking for are book sales at libraries. Up this way, that means filling an entire shopping bag for $1! I've gotten a few books at individual yard sales, but most of them have come from library book sales. And now I have a lot of reading to do! LOL!

My friend introduced me when there were about 4 books, so I was able to read them all in a row and that was a great few weeks. There's one more book coming right? The last few have had some brutal stuff in them.

If you like that kind of thing you may enjoy this one.. *anatomy of the spirit* It follows the theory that if your chakras are out of whack then the physical body will suffer. Like I said, it's very interesting and it doesn't have too much religion type views (which in my books is always a good thing) It's by Caroline Myss.. she also does a cd that helps realign and relax the over stressed person.
I wish I could find a good book on this or take a class but I think anthropology would be neat to study.. Heh, when I was in highschool I wanted to be a Parapsycologist but I hated the idea of taking biology and disecting a fetal pig..

I saw a sign a couple of months ago that the library was having a book sale. I didn't go  I don't know why I didn't because I usually love to go to any book sale. I think DH was gone and I was in a mood. I will watch for it next time and will be there.
We used to go the to farmers market in PA when we visited in in laws and they had a person there that sold hundreds of books. We would spend most of our time there looking through all the books. There are a couple of places around here that sell old books but I haven't been in there yet. Maybe I am afraid to go in because I already have so many books, LOL!
Thanks for the tip. I will definitely check the next one out.

Always great to find a fellow Outlander lover! DH was travel years ago and saw a woman on the plane reading Outlander. He asked about it and thought it was a book I would like. I am like you and started the series when several books had already been released. That was great, no waiting.
I love the series but can honestly say that I like the last book the least. I have heard that there will be two more books. I also get updates from Diana Gabaldon's web site via e-mail. Tells you her tour and book signing dates and places, excerpts from new books and how she is coming with the writing of the new book.

Hi,
I'm a huge fan of the Outlander series. If you've
only read the first 4 then you need to read the Fiery
Cross and (I think this is the title) Snow and Ashes or
something like that. Do a search for Diana Gabaldon online.
You'll get the correct title. Fiery Cross is book 5,
Snow & ashes (or whatever) is book 6.
Have fun!

She loooooves anthropology, and has taken all kinds of classes for it... I bet she could suggest a few books! I talk to her almost every day, so I'll ask her and come back with some suggestions, if she has some (and I bet she will).
I have Anatomy of the Spirit! I should take it off the shelf and try it again. Back when I bought it, it was on the advice of my therapist - she was pretty much forcing me to read it, and I never do good with books when I'm being forced. LOL I only got about 1/4 through it. I'll give it another try!

Our little bookshelves are packed solid already, but that didn't stop me from buying more books! I'm terrible.  I have books piled in stacks all over the living room floor, because I don't have anywhere to put them. But I can't think of anything better to spend my pennies on, hehe. Come winter, when we're (hopefully!) snowed in, I'll be glad for some reading material.

Wow, I have a lot of books to add to my list. Now can somebody pass me the time that I need to be able to read one?!
