First sentence:
We are not as modern as we like to think we are.
I didn't know museums had competitions, but the MOMA in NY did, in 1941, and this book showcases the winners.

Includes chair construction, furniture by Eames, Saarinen, Hatfield, Craig, Nicholson, Maier, more. Lamps by Pfisterer, Weaves by Ehrman, prints by Raymond, bibliography, more. Tons of illustrations.

10,500 copies of the book were printed. It has stiff covers, with a paper protective cover over that. 48 pp. Very highly recommended.

Ok I want to live on this island. I really like the characters. The books can be read separately. I recommend this book and the series.

Loved it,  I wish I lived closer, or had money and the land to do this myself.  I love animals and hate to see what happens to them when left to the production world.

It was the watch or the house. I chose the watch.

Now I live under a bridge. It's not so bad down here. I'm near Chinatown, so the rats I snack on often have a glutamine flavor that's surprisingly robust.

The only downside is the company - I'm surrounded by homeless losers. Many of them are insane. "Get back!" I shout at them, waving my watch like a torch of ice and fire. "You'll never touch my Precious, foolish hobbitsies!"

It's funny how a $90,000 purchasing decision can show you who your friends are - and it turns out I don't have any. Most of them were something-something blah-blahing about, "How could you sell your house for a watch?" And "I think you need psychiatric help." It just goes to show that sometimes your friends really don't know you at all.

The wife's gone too - turns out she's a total philistine. No appreciation for beautiful things. She took the kids, but I can understand that as it's cold our here at nights and I don't want my children picking up bad habits like drug addiction or greed from the down-and-outs here.

Honestly, I'd do it all again. That's why I'm posting this review. The watch dial blazes like a thousand dead suns. It weighs more than my fist. Sometimes, when I'm asleep, it whispers sweet squeaky nothings in the darkness. "Kill yourself," it squeaks. "End this fragile existence with a rusty tire iron."

It's even wise.

Seriously, how could you not? It's quite literally impossible to do so! Quit arguing with yourself and go buy it. then invite a ladyfriend over to visit. Big Walter promises you won't be disappointed.

Great ideas on how to get around living in a home that can cost a fortune. So many are brought up to believe that you amount to something if you have a huge mortgage or bills to pay and I for one believe that is never the case. I unexpectedly was pushed into living in a trailer and hated it, until I found Hess's book and some google info. on how much fun it is to remodel and even do it for a couple thousand. Trailersteading is a great term for those of us who would rather cast off the shackles of modern mortgaged homes and live financially independent, even on a fixed income.i have built up my trailer, land and home and have virtually no bills...maybe this internet bill to speak to you fine people...lol...i can't wait to start my new roof using her plans (and a contractor to make sure it goes up ok) and the wood stove idea, as putting one in a trailer scared me to no end, with the idea of kids, pets and fires...but now i can and will soon...all I can say is PUB:ISH MORE!

I'm stationed in Korea and this was a very welcome "slice of home".  While I can't have a Royal here, I can atleast have some yummy seasoned fries!  (Now if I could just get some darn Camp Fire Sauce over here!

YUM!

I wanted this film as it was filmed where my family lived when we moved from Massachusetts.

"If this world was as cool as us I might feel at home for once." I can relate to this sentiment (from track 3). This EP goes a long way to making me feel at home.
I've had the pleasure of seeing these ladies live and this EP is the next best thing to taking them home. Wonderful, charged lyrics - anthems for those of us who wonder if there's something better than this commodified world we've inherited. Driving vocals and great guitar. And let's not forget our beautiful drummer. I hope they give us more soon.
If your eyes are open, this is for you.

Too glorious for words - this is the place where I would like to die, period.  God screams out of every magnificent shot: "Subdue the earth and conquer it," he said.  But don't destroy it.  No wonder the Lucerne Festival can afford such artists - the people who can afford to go there are surely all billionaires!  Don't miss it.

i'm really sorry to tell you guys that you have to move. the humane society won't do anything, hoa won't do anything, police won't do anything, and if the neighbor wasn't a complete jackknife then they wouldn't have a barking dog 24/7. So yeah, move to the hills, buy land and have no neighbors that's your only option. Because between this and the other 1000 cheap products i've tried there is not hope...sorry.

I don't want to just visit "La Pierre Rouge," I want to live there.

I fell in love with this place - everything about it from the terrace, the hill leading to the house, the sea, Alonso, (the cat), the food, the bakery, the market place, all of it.

I finished the book a few hours ago and cannot get the story out of my mind.  It makes me want to get on a plane and go to the South of France.

I could not put this book down, and believe me, I tried to but found myself looking for excuses to pick it up again and read until I finished it.  I hated to see the book end.  I loved traveling to France, Mexico, Italy, Spain, and even Idaho.

I loved all the characters in the book, but, especially Lily and I loved her mother-in-law, Maman Justine - great lady.  I think she and Lily had so much in common, that Justine's son, Paul, married his mother when he married Lily.

I checked this book out of the library and now want to buy a copy for myself to add to my personal library.  There are descriptive phrases, quotes, words, passages that I wish to mark for future reference and, of course, I cannot do that with a library book.

I am going to recommend this book to my friends so we can enjoy a good discussion based on my own questions, and there are many, and the questions in the back of the book.

It will be fun to analyze Lily and Paul, their marriage, discussing what makes them tick, their obvious differences, etc...Yves, the handyman, is also an interesting character and I would love to analyze his relationship with his mother and talk about what happened to him, where did he go, did his mother die, lots to analyze about Yves...

I do hope Annie writes another book.  I want more of Lily, more of France...I'd like to "grow old" with Lily...and be there to see how Justine grows up....Will her grandmother, Justine, come alive again through her granddaughter?

Much read - for anyone with dreams of moving to a warmer, more exotic environment
