They aren't very peronsal, and while they must make sense to middle-easterns, to me they seem pretty pointless. I do regift these sometimes so that they don't go to waste, but I usually give them out as unexpected gifts rather than presents for holidays.

So true. I think more of us practice forgiveness but grace not as much. Like when someone is just plain annoyingDebra E.

I remember a friend of mind reading it on the beach one summer a long time ago and thinking "That is one big book."It will have to go on my Bucket List.<br /><br />And I don't like the regifting thing.

I even sewed a little case for my copy of Les Mis because the paperback was so big it would be easily damaged in a backpack or purse. How's that for crazy.<br /><br />And Lisa, I highly recommend you read Les Mis in its entirety.

I love it! Love the musical, too. The picture of grace makes me cry every time. Not just little tears, often heaving sobs. Yes, grace is the greatest gift.
