Hi everyone I just joined this forum and wanted to say hello to all fellow Linda fans and Gooberz readers .. I have been reading a few of the entries in here but don't want to spoil the "ending" of the book (although somehow I doubt it does, but you know what I mean). I am up to Canto 13 and I'm finding it very hard to put down. The book is utterly amazing, and I can say this having gone in with an open mind and possibly expecting disappointment (especially after the stuff on the cover about it helping to open your third eye!) I am NOT disappointed, I am totally addicted and stimulated. I know I will read it again in the future (maybe next Easter!) I have been dipping into my mum's copies of Sun Signs and Love Signs since I was a child, and I read Star Signs some years ago. I would recommend reading Star Signs before starting Gooberz. One thing that is sticking with me about Gooberz so far, is this thing about Linda losing three children, her three baby druids "who left". The story doesn't seem to make too much of it - well, not in comparison to losing her Twin. Did three of Linda's children REALLY die? I just can't get my head around that! Why? Especially after saying she wished she had never had them (when she was upset her Twin/husband had an affair with her friend). I know that anecdotally, people say that Gooberz becomes their story, or unfolds according to the individual, etc. I have been curious to see what happens to me. So far I've decided that the timing of when I started to read was interesting - Easter (a recurrent and central issue/theme so far!) and a couple of other little personal coincidences in the content. I imagine most of us find little things like that? Or big ones, even. Anyway - its good to say hello to people and unless I bore you all silly, I will come back when I have read more and need to get something else off my chest, no doubt.

Hey ITGSI'm new to the forum too. Nice to meet you! It seems that we had a similar experience, dipping into Linda's books as kids courtesy of our mums. A good and v spiritual friend suggested Star Signs & Gooberz to me a few years ago and those books definitely changed my life. From what I can find out, Linda lost 2/3 children but had 2 with William Snyder who were her daughter Sarah (Sally - who went missing in the early 70s) and her son Bill. She also had 2 more kids with Sam Goodman. I also had a very weird experience in the 'Gooberz timing'. I ordered the book through Amazon and it turned up in late September - October 2002, at that time I was unemployed and desperate to work in music, I even had the perfect company I wanted to work for. I began reading Gooberz and soon after got a call from one of my rec agencies telling me about a job they were putting me forward for. I KNEW it was for the company I wanted so badly to work for, even though they didn't tell me the name of the company. 3 stressful weeks later on a friday, I was at my friends and my mum rang saying a package had come for me at home, 2 mins later my agency rang to say the company wanted to interview me. And they told me the name of the co - it was the same one I had dreamed of working for. Later that evening when I got home, I opened my package - and it was my Purple Plate (Star Signs) that I'd ordered from the US a few weeks previously. All this happened on October 21st, the anniversary of Linda's death. I continued reading Gooberz. Went for my interview, got asked back and consequently got the job. Everything happened in the way I knew it was and I totally believe it was to do with Gooberz. Even stranger - I had a feeling I would lose that job in a certain way - and that happened. I became unhappy with the job I was in (fickle cow!) and tried so many times to read Gooberz again but could just never get past her Childhood. I lost my job on the last day of August, in exactly the way I felt it would happen and unfortunately I'm unemployed now and began reading Gooberz again a couple of months ago I'm on Canto 20 and going with the flow, nearly 200 pages left to go. It could be that Gooberz is the catalyst for change and I can't help but think when I read it mad things happen in my life. And, once again, some weird things HAVE happened again since reading it, my Spiritual side has become even deeper, my boyfriend and I have made plans to move in together as soon as I get a job (even though before he wasn't sure about us living together).But I need a big change now life/job wise and although I'm not expecting Gooberz to supply it for me, I hope somehow its magic will come through and manifest in my life and provide me with some of the guidance I need. Although at the moment I am struggling to find direction and badly need a miracle! I hope you experience the magic of it as powerfully as I did. Gaaawwwwwd, that went on for bloody ages!
