  1. Hi Doctor,
    Can I borrow the book “An inconvenient truth” by Al Gore?
    Thank you

  2. Fouad: Please pick another book. Ecologie du Liban is not a book suitable to be critiqued for this class.
    -Rania Masri

  3. Dear Farid: Please pick another book. “An Inconvenient Truth” (the book) does not include enough text to warrant it being read as a book.

    -Rania Masri

    • Hienohan tuo on, ei äitiä pidä aina kuunnella. Mulla ei ole mielikuvaa pietarilaisesta katupojasta… Niiden vanhojen perinteisten mielikuvienko mukaan ne ostokset tehdään, eikä sen mukaan, mistä itse tykkää? Mulle pitää olla huppu, mutta en viitsisi millään lähteä etsimään sellaista sopivaa, mikä ei kahise… jneAllergisille voisi joku kehitellä päähineen, johon on piilotettu kirurgin maski – semmosta tarvis ainakin lapset, mut vaihdettavalla suojuksella tietysti! Lisää roskaa? Ei sentään – parempi sekin kuin lä¤Ãkejäämillä pilatut pohjavedet jne…

    • Não Pedro, se os responsaveis pelo ciclismo mundial decidem alterar certos regulamentos ou comportamentos talvez haja razão para isso não achas ?Eu estou farto de ver provas a serem mal conduzidas , ainda com a agravante de o espectaculo sair penalizado, quem é que não gosta de ver o ciclismo de ataque ?

    • I still believe that Ms. Milligan, my kindergarten teacher should still be at my old elementary school decked out ’70s style with open arms. So what if I left and grew up? She should still be there damn it!

    • I’ve been wanting to do a reread of DG for a long time, so team Dorian it is for me ! I’d like to read J and H also if I have the time…we’ll see.I had fun with Dueling Monsters last year, looking forward to doing it again this year.

    • grazie, in realta’ era pronta da tempo, solo che speravo che qualcuno si facesse avanti per la parte video..(io sono abbastanza stonata), poi non ho trovato ancora la base musicale, a parte il miigo.bis.dnerebbe chiedere a Venditti, ma non so se si presterebbe..

    • She is too freaking adorable. She's got wonderful style and a knack for putting together prints but I think you're right…she is a little too thin. Her legs look like they're about to snap. BUT you can't negate that quirky style.

  24. Hiba – Please choose other books. Both those books are checked out already.

    -Rania

  35. Heyy Dr . I’m a student in your biol 207 class and i need your help in choosing a book. ”Blink” is it a book related to what we should read? If not please help me finding a book that is somehow related to human spirits and kind of philosophy if possible. Thank You.

  37. hello dr

  38. Hi Doctor Rania…
    I told you in class that i was interested in the book about the dust but looking at the shelfari reviews I was more interested in a book called “Blessed Unrest” could i please borrow that book?

    Thanks! 🙂

  39. Hi Doctor,
    Since it isn’t possible to read “Blessed Unrest” could I please borrow one of the three following books? I guess just choose which one is easiest for you to reach or which one you personally like more…
    – “Beyond Slash, Burn and Poison: Transforming Breast Cancer Stories into Action” by Marcy Jane Knopf Newman
    – “The Green Belt Movement: Sharing the Approach and the Experience” by Wangari Maathai
    – “A Language Older than Words” by Derrick Jensen
    Thank you!
