Om mitt bibliotekI originally set up one account for all the books in the house, but that doesn't work so well for suggestions. I now have a second account, chriskids, for my children's books.
I recently discovered the columns for Date Started and Date Ended, and have gone through the past two years of my book journal and entered that information, plus my comments, in my LT catalog. If you're interested, you can easily see this by selecting my recommended display style.

I have noticed your recent additions and wondering if you are planning a shortlist reading marathon before the Booker winner is announced? I dont see The Little Stranger in there? I have a copy of both The Little Stranger and The Childrens Book and planning on reading both very soon.
I see we share similar reading tastes. I am currently reading The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo and it is a page turneer and so exciting and I think about getting back to it all day at the moment. I love a book like that. The third in the trilogy is due for release October 1 here in Australia and I have placed an order last night as I know I am going to want to read all three in quick succession.
Enjoy your weekend

You will thoroughly enjoy The Historian on audio. It was so well done. It sent chills through me! And I was listening to it at my desk (working believe it or not!) and during daylight hours. She put a lot of research into that book and something like 10 yrs of her life. Anyhow, I hope you like it as much as I did.
Glass Castle, oh my isn't that a story? Yikes. I was so knocked out that I wrote to her. She wrote back (still have the email). She was kind enough to answer my questions as to how her siblings were and how her mother was. I have shared it will a lot of people as I worked pt in a book store and sold many copies & customers would come back to hear what her email said. I have since seen a video of her and her mother and it showed some of her art and it seemed pretty good actually. I hope to read/discuss the book in my bookgroup. It will be fun.
Ever read A girl named Zippy? Funny as all get out. And Haven Kimmel is Great to listen to. She's adorable!
Disney? Ha! I thought for sure it was somewhere in Africa. Hopefully one day you get to see the real deal in Africa, it's a magical place.
Cheers,

You are so organized!
I like the tree photo, where was that taken? Such character in those branches.
I too like audiobooks but don't have as much time now to listen to them. For awhile I was such an avid listener, I was interviewed by the N.Y.Times. A couple of my faves for production values as well as content are "The Historian" and "The History of Love", both well done. Oh and "The Glass Castle" was a lot of fun too and what a story!
Anyhow you have a very interesting collection and I will be sure to keep up with what you add.
Cheers,
Clamato

Its been a little while i came on LT. found you in member connections, loved your profile. The habit you have of going through different formats of reading. I was just wondering, where do you get all the audio books and different formats of books. Do you use an online bookstore to order few?

for cd's I can recommend last.fm. It remembers the song you play on your pc and then recommends new artist.

thanks for adding me to your list :) My favourites so far by Anthony Trollope would be all the books in the 'Chronicles of Barset' series starting with 'The Warden' and 'Barchester Towers'. Other (non-ecclesiastically themed) ones which I've enjoyed include 'He Knew He Was Right', 'Lady Anna' and 'Dr Wortle's School'. The first two have similar levels of tension and drama of 'The Way We Live Now'. There is also the very popular Palliser series, starting with 'Can You Forgive Her?' which has political themes, but I haven't read any of these yet. Trollope wrote about 45 novels so there are so many I am still yet to read!

I'm new to LT. Checked out your library because we have 50+ titles in common (I'm very much at the beginning of cataloging, so we may have many more). At any rate, decided to drop a note because I see in your profile that you're from Norwalk, CT, the city where I grew up (and where my dear old mum still lives). I've lived in California for quite a few years now, but still love my Norwalk.
Happy reading!

Sorry, it took a while, bit I finally caught up with your review of Ingenious Pursuits, which was very sharp indeed (I hadn't considered poor Harrison...). It is such a fascinating period, isn't it? I can't wait to hear your verdict on the Hooke booke :-)

We haven't conversed yet but somehow I found your library.
Oh, I paged through what we share and so many of the books we have in common you have listed as TBR. I am excited that you stil have them to read - I must say I don't know which one to recommend you start with next (not that you are asking my opinion!)
I would suggest any of the Alice Munro's or the Carol Shield's. I don't read a lot of Irving, but I must say Trying to Save Piggy Sneed really left an impression upon me.
Personally, I love the academic novel, so I just picked up Tobias Wolff and David Lodge. Have you read Stoner by John Williams. Have you read it??? My favorite of 2007.
Anyway, hello and keep in touch.
Best

I have not read [The Night] yet, but have the updated version, corrected by his wife. I have so many TBR! I helped a friend who managed a bookstore, and as a Thank You, received nearly 40 books of my choosing! But enough, I hope you are as impacted by Wiesel as I was.

I was looking at your profile and I am totally going to steal your ideas for a few of your lists. I wanted to let you know and give you the full credit.
Notably, "last ten books I read" and "what I am reading now."
I keep a book journal too, I am going to look into filling some old dates.
thanks for the great ideas :)

I first read Salter in a writing workshop I was in and was surprised to find out how much I enjoyed "The Hunters," since it is a story about fighter pilots in the Korean War. Then I read "Light Years" which I believe is a masterpiece. It is somewhat difficult reading, as it takes some effort to follow the time shifts, but it is a beautiful, haunting, and ultimately sad portrayal of a place, a time, and a marriage. I've read almost everything else he wrote but, for me, nothing stands up to these two.

Interesting comments about Sammar's anger at Rae. I had not thought about that. I was struck by how important his religion was to her. With mixed-religion marriages so common in Western cultures, I really hadn't thought about how important that was.
I agree with you that I would have liked to know more about Rae. I understand "why" we don't, in that the book is so much from Sammar's POV, but it was a bit frustrating at times. I am glad you liked the book though ... I really enjoyed it also!

About Soueif, I enjoyed her to a point. I really enjoyed the picture she draws of life and culture in Egypt for the various characters. But the personal part disappointed me. What kind of marriage was that? I just found that hard to accept even as I enjoyed the characters. The other book I felt sort of the same loved the insights on Egyptian life and culture, could't accept the coincidence of the family connection. I thought the glimpse of life for the English woman who goes to Egypt and marries the Egyptian man was a compelling love story, but would have been better served if she hadn't been so perfect. Still and all I think Soueif is talented.

We share 167 books – not bad. The usual suspects, plus the not so usual; Robertson Davies, Kate Atkinson, Arturo Perez-Reverte, and Jonathan Coe. You have lots of quintessentially English books too Penelope Fitzgerald, Wikie Collins, Anita Brookner…
