Can't wait to see which signs you pick up from those books! Let me know which ones you learn first! =)

Hi! It's taken me a while to think (I'm really feeling old these days/temporarily).

Previously if asked what I was reading I'd grab the library books and list them/maybe even have a few recently picked up from bookstore/surely some from off-the-shelf that I was rereading for any reason.

Blame inflation, or the internet or the fact that most books being hyped do not interest me, but a life-long reader (truly) I'm not reading much these days. (For ER I have read and reviewed.) We heard Michael Chabon being interviewed on radio and "The Yiddish Policemen's Union" seemed to be a winner so I said that to my husband who hit the Amazon button and bought it AND "Kavalier & Clay" AND "The Mysteries of Pittsburgh." Whereupon I wailed that what I wanted was Hoban's "Fremder" from any bookseller who had it in ENGLISH (somehow most available copies are in Spanish!)
I haven't written a review but the Chabon has faults galore.

This to answer your query as to what I'm reading these days: only random bits from books pulled off our own shelves.

~~~~~I've posted new pix to Flickr (esta1923 there also) and oddly enough have had pix taken of me (sending alone). I'll be a better friend soooon! Esta

Yeah, well, the youth librarian thing gave it away. And it's not difficult when you work at a company with five employees. ;)

I actually found a Facebook app that someone else made and installed it -- it works well enough. I've paid my $25. Thanks for suggesting the site. I'm trying to get my friends on it now!

~~~~Sonya~~~~I am amazed that Abby and Tim, with more than xxx,xxx members would mention me! That's one of the best things that's happened to me in years. (If you have seen my profile you know I am one of the old folks.) LT came along at just the right time for me. The Bks Group I'd been speaking to for almost 20 years disbanded. I'd had their attention for 90 minutes per session and talked to them about unusual books. (My library has books I got from publishers during the time I was "The Book Hustler" on an NPR affiliate station. My acquaintance with Ivan Doig began then too.) Now putting my 2 cents-worth into the groups-topics is an outlet of sorts. You asked about what I'm reading: except for Early Reviewers offerings I am mostly re-reading! ***I'm delighted to be your friend and will hope there is something I can do for you &/or LT.

No - I don't know anything like it on television. I told my husband this morning we could go ahead and throw out the television now that The Wire's over. :-(

The Wire rocks! It's really the only television show that is as absorbing as a book.

Mostly it means that I've only entered a small portion of my library. But I have a CueCat now! :-)
