Om mig Currently reading:

Om mitt bibliotek In an effort to conserve space and be a greener citizen, I'm swapping or otherwise donating my books. This has been very, very difficult for me. Library Thing allows me to continue to "own" my books even after they are no longer physically in my possession. It has made it a little easier.

I rate a book the number of stars I think it deserves within its peer group. So, for example, a rating for a mystery is my opinion of that book compared to other mysteries I've read rather than compared to every book I've read. In addition, ratings reflect how I felt about the book when I read it and may or (more likely on some of the older ones) may not reflect my current opinion.

Anything I've read so long ago that I remember it but not well is dated with my anniversary 10/06/1996. Anything I've read recently is dated with my son's birthday 10/23/2005. Anything I've read this year but before I joined LT is dated 01/22/2007. Books I haven't read and don't intend to read anytime soon are dated with my 17th birthday 01/22/1984.

Hi,

Just saw your post re: snake handling (Did you actually see the folks in action at the church you visited? If so, well, wow!) and wanted to recommend the play "Holy Ghosts" by Romulus Linney. I read it when it was produced back in the 80s and, at least in my memory, found it to be an interesting play. Here's a quote from Linney in the NYT (gotta love Google): ''The play is funny,'' he says, ''but it's not a satire. It takes these rural people very seriously. It deals with people who, I think, are very desperate. Their religion is not a small thing to them, their humanity is not a small thing to them. The two things are very much mixed together. It's not a matter of an actor getting on stage and making fun of a country bumpkin; it's a matter of trying to understand very deep feelings of people who are themselves at the bottom of American life. You can't get much further down, as far as rural American is concerned, than a lot of these folks. And yet they feel, through the extreme cathartic experience that they go through in these services, they feel recognized by some great power.

Anyway, my best,

Teresa

Hi, Nancy. Thanks for getting in touch with me. I love LibraryThing and how it brings folks together. You and I share 35 books that we've posted, and seem to have similar eclectic tastes! I like fiction and nonfiction, particularly memoirs, and mysteries and a mixture of deep and fast fun reads. I belong to several book clubs or reading groups, now, and lead three. As my husband says, I'm having having almost as much fun as if I had good sense. What is your interest in spiritual-related books such as Here If You Need Me and Take This Bread? Blessings, Martha Huntley

Well how-dee. I guess religious lunacy knows no bounds. Thanks for reading my review, too. I put them out there for me, but it's nice when someone else finds somethign worthwhile in them.

Hi! I'm glad you found my library interesting. :o) I unfortunately don't have time to review yours right now, but I'm very impressed that you're able to give away books in an effort to be greener. Good for you!

well thanks for adding me as well and feel free to drop by with recommendations anytime you have them! i need to get around to reading the age of innocence! i adore the house of mirth so much!

I just joined LT and am catching up with older posts. In one of the threads you said you preferred Laurie King's Kate Martinelli series to her Mary Russell books. So do I. But I am having a hard time getting the Martinelli books in order (don't know if our library system has them all). I think I've only read the first three. If you have a handy list of them, in chronological order, I'd appreciate your passing it on to me. Thanks!

Thank you so much. Your reviews are now added. They make a big difference as you've been such a big contributor. Doing this is a pleasure although I felt so bad about starting the group and then abandoning it, that I'm looking for a tiny bit of redemption too.

Hi. On Go Review That Book!, I've created a group Wiki page to keep track of the progress of the game and the reviews that have been generated. Some may find it easier to read the reviews by having them in one handy place. There's a discussion thread in the group and this is the first Wiki page if you are interested in having a look. To avoid any difficulties with copyright, I'm seeking your consent to add your reviews to the group Wiki page.

Re: Prothero
Depends what you're looking for. If you want a book that has the history of religion and how it was taught in America, this book is great! If, like me, you are looking for a book that talks about the religions in America today and acts as an introduction to the history, beliefs, etc. - this book is absolutely not what you're looking for. From the way the book was advertised, I thought I'd be learning about Islam and Judaism and Hinduism, etc, and how the religions compare to each other. This isn't really covered in the book at all! So it just depends what you're looking for.

Hi Nancy,

Thanks for your comment about my review. I will have to look out for the Isaacson book. Gordon Wood's The Americanization of Benjamin Franklin is already in my library, so that will probably be the next Franklin book I read.

Thanks so much for the good wishes - my husband and I are really excited, but I'm also constantly nauseous and exhausted, and the fact that school just started back up and my teaching load isn't exactly light is really throwing me for a loop too. It's a good loop, though, and hopefully I'll soon be able to control my emotions a bit better!

Hello and welcome to 40 Something Library Thingers!

Go Pittsburgh! I used to live in Pittsburgh, and I am very fond of Pittsburgh.

I also like to read and am trying to be greener.
I take the bus. It is also hard for me to part with books. I like the way you worded your 'green' statement. I truly agree with you. Library thing is helpful in allowing us to part with books. I don't have a book case, I'm in a small apartment, so I only have so much room and closet space.
The only book we share is Bastard out of Carolina. The book was better than the movie, but the movie wasn't bad.

bye,
D

Nancy -

I read your very thorough review of Mallory's Oracle, and I want to encourage you to go on with the series. It is absolutely my favorite mystery/detective series, and I have been reading them all my life. Don't expect to "warm up" to Mallory, though. She is not that kind of character. I am reading the whole series for the second time now, and I find that she breaks my heart more than anything else. She is just so damaged.

I look forward to what you have to say about the rest of the series.

I went through the Peter Robinson catalog like hot chainsaw through butter. Ok, bad simile but you get the idea. Now I am forlorn, as youself because there are no more Alan Banks to read. But, I did the same thing with Ian Rankin, I am now working on Andrea Camilleri, Donna Leon, and a few others. Good to have met you.

Just a word of encouragement from a reader who in the past has been accused of liking everything that he reads. I agree with your assessment of Bel Canto in your brief and incisive review. For me the novel seemed contrived. I'm an opera lover, yet I could not connect on with this story.
