Om migI wish I had more time to read books, but I'm also an internet junkie. Too bad I lose one third of every day to this nasty sleeping habit I've developed. I still have a big bunch of books to add. I'm putting it off because they are very old, and will have to be entered manually.

I'm just crazy about LibraryThing, and I am often to be found drinking virtual pints and nibbling virtual cheeses in LibraryThing's best pub, The Green Dragon, which has become my second home.

Om mitt bibliotekI started collecting books at the age of 15. As I've grown older I've been collecting them at a much faster rate than I can actually read them, much to my distress. I have recently
realized I've read less than half of what I own. So, why am I always in here yammering, when I should have my nose in my books? Because it addicting, that's why.

Tickled pink with my SantaThing books. Thanks very much for making the suggestion :-). You're so good to everyone Clare! And it was fun having aviddiva as my Santa too.

I signed up about an hour ago. :) You are wonderful. Is there any way I can repay you that doesn't involve a cheesy e-card with dancing penguins and Vivaldi's "Spring" playing in the background?

inlägg gjort av MsCellophane vid 9:57 pm (EST) Nov 24, 2009

Whoa. Tell me you didn't make that cake for today. Cause if you did, that would be just too awesome for words!

Hey, sweetie: I just visited elfschild's profile, and she has a picture book called "Clam-I-Am." I think that would deserve a permanet pride-of-place in the Green Dragon library, don't you? Bibliographically yours, Mary Lou

inlägg gjort av MerryMary vid 6:51 pm (EST) Nov 11, 2009

Thanks, Clare.

I can't imagine what she and her family are going through. I think she would appreciate the gesture.

Damian will be 6 months old on the 12th. He's a little handful.

I'm sorry to hear the clamkids are sickly, hope they start feeling more perky and healthy soon. AND that you don't get sick too!

Take care of yourself,
hugs,
Katherine

p.s. I think you might enjoy this book I'm reading now, The Birth House, it's so good!

inlägg gjort av katylit vid 10:36 pm (EST) Oct 30, 2009

I wasn't going to read it because of the Gimmick, but David Christian of "Maps of Time" says its a wonderful book and I thought who the hell am I to argue with him? (I've got enough people to argue with LOL) So I bought it and I am hoping the Gimmick doesn't make me crazy.

inlägg gjort av Garp83 vid 7:17 pm (EST) Oct 19, 2009

Hey Clare -- how is After the Ice -- I bought it but haven't started it yet?

inlägg gjort av Garp83 vid 7:06 pm (EST) Oct 19, 2009

Thanks for the Thanksgiving good wishes m'dear! Wonderful holiday, great food, dear family, beloved husband, I have so, so much to be thankful for. Now, if hubby were only living with me... But I guess I shouldn't be greedy.

Hope you and yours are well, I think of you often.

hugs
Katherine

Eclectic indeed: From The Long Walk to The Pale Blue Dot -- an eclectic and exhilarating journey!

Honored by the "Interesting libraries" addition --

I see you're entering the plague books!

inlägg gjort av stellarexplorer vid 10:18 pm (EST) Oct 10, 2009

Acck...actually, the "Mentalist" is the "Alienist" (I have no idea why I subsitute those words!)...and I think that Teddy was actually in "Angel of Darkness"....

Anyway, how are things? Is the Wraithlette almost old enough for college?

inlägg gjort av Titano vid 9:27 am (EST) Sep 24, 2009

I think I just have too many fiction books in my head. Like "The Mentalist". I remember the bad kids in the Bowery and the evil guy (was there a woman too?) using them as his "gang", I remember Teddy Roosevelt and the Rough Riders coming in to clean them up. I remember one of the main characters having terminal tuberculosis, but I can't remember what the main point of contention was. But there are books I liked less that I remember far more from. :D

inlägg gjort av Titano vid 8:49 am (EST) Sep 24, 2009

Oh yeah, you are jogging my memory. I was mixing it up with another book that I can't remember the title of about modern relations of old island families who were unraveling an old murder mystery. Yikes...

inlägg gjort av Titano vid 9:58 pm (EST) Sep 23, 2009

BTW, how many of your books are actually entered here? I always just enter ones that cross my mind, even paperbacks alone I would never remember all the ones I have stored here and there. Like I have all Leon Uris, Delderfield, Clavell, Michener, practically all of Taylor Caldwell etc. Even popcorn books like Dean Koontz and a lot of others. But I just have the free account here (200 book max), so I enter one or two from authors.

inlägg gjort av Titano vid 9:07 pm (EST) Sep 23, 2009

I did read it, but years ago. I'm dimly remembering a plot about people killed who were trying to sell biotoxins? I think I did like a lot of the local history in it. I have to admit that I read so many adventure novels that they all run together, I have a much better memory for historical books (because I am deciding as I am reading whether the author is making an effective case). ;)

inlägg gjort av Titano vid 8:53 pm (EST) Sep 23, 2009

What'd you think of "Letter to a Christian Nation"?

inlägg gjort av dodger vid 9:05 pm (EST) Sep 21, 2009

Thanks anyway.

Noticed you liked The Glass Castle, and I was wondering if you'd be interested in reviewing my new novel and posting your comments here as well as a few other book-related sites. Thought you might like my book since it's also about a dysfunctional family (and also a bit dark). I could e-mail you the novel in an e-book format if you'd like (I'm out of physical copies at the moment). Let me know if you're interested. Here's a link to a summary in case you're interested:

Just saw your comment on Sodapop's comments.

I once got in trouble at work, actually written up, for spending too much time reading in the bathroom.

Heh.

inlägg gjort av Morphidae vid 11:30 am (EST) Aug 23, 2009

OHHH It came by USPS. Wohoooo! MUST. BE. SOCIABLE.

inlägg gjort av Sodapop vid 9:34 pm (EST) Aug 21, 2009

Still no sign of it. Maybe I should start complaining to UPS. On the bright side my mother just arrived from England with several of my favourite books from my childhood. So that will make the wait more tolerable.

inlägg gjort av Sodapop vid 3:17 pm (EST) Aug 21, 2009

Well let's hope Brown can do for me what they did for you. Although New York to Georgia versus New York to Connecticut in the same amount of time seems unlikely doesn't it?

inlägg gjort av Sodapop vid 11:48 am (EST) Aug 19, 2009

OH. I'm going to wait for my mailman now like some kinda stalker. Let's hope for his sake, he has it!

inlägg gjort av Sodapop vid 11:32 am (EST) Aug 19, 2009

yep. It got ugly..... srsly

inlägg gjort av mckait vid 5:22 pm (EST) Aug 16, 2009

I'm still waiting. Are you still waiting? I want it NOW! Gosh Darn it.

inlägg gjort av Sodapop vid 11:53 pm (EST) Aug 14, 2009

Wohoooo very excited about A Supremely Bad Idea. I really wanted that or the travel collection edited by Bryson. I'm not really a birder - I like watching them in my garden - but I'm a big fan of wacky, slightly wierd, humourous travel writing.
