Hi Xenchu - how fun!
I see we share 13 titles - that is a relatively high correlation, considering I only put up fifty some favorite titles.

By all means, if you care to share any recommendations and curiosities.

Hope you're well...haven't heard from you in a while. Would love to see you back at Art is Life.

Hello,

I am new to Library Thing and still screw up some of these details. I just posted a note to you at the bottom of a lengthy thread from the Art as Life group. At any rate, I just wanted to comment on your interest in Edward Hopper and Vincent Van Gogh--two of my favorite artistic spirits. I just finished the Edward Hopper: An Intimate Biography by Gail Levin last week. Fabulous work. I had been blocked as an artist since 2008 began, and now, thanks to his legacy, I am painting again. Van Gogh also thrills me--I just finished assembling a slide lecture of his work to deliver to a high school audience in the morning. I took a break and got onto Library Thing and read your post. Anyway, nice to read your remarks.

Hi xenchu,

Thanks very much for the group invitation and for adding me to your interesting libraries. I'm not 60, but I don't see that as a problem :)

"Did you check every entry?"

No way! I just noticed those points while looking at shared books, which I did because I entered something fairly obscure and saw you had it. I often write such little messages if I happen to notice something strange and apparently unintentional, but I don't set out to check up on people.

Anyway, having looked again, I now see that HP and the Goblet of Fire and Northanger Abbey have dodgy author entries too! And you have The Beastly Beatitudes of Balthazar B twice, once with author and once without. I suspect that quite a few of your authorless books have authors really.

Regards, Jim Roberts

Hi,
Your entry for Life,the Universe and Everything has author "Douglas, Adams" rather than "Adams, Douglas" which you have have for the rest of his books. I suppose that's not what you wanted: maybe an import from an unreliable source? You might want to check the author for The Ascent of Man, The Poems of John Milton, The Tents of Wickedness and The Canterbury tales too.
Regards, Jim Roberts

Thanks for the recommendations!

I'm fairly new to Science Fiction, but once I discovered the genre I was hooked! From the gist of your comment, I think I like space opera (Alfred Bester's 'The Stars My Destination' is in my library). I'd appreciate more of your recommendations when you have the time. You library truly boggles the mind!

Hi :)

Your Scifi and Fantasy selection is impressive. Any recommendations?

inlägg gjort av TinazReading vid 12:00 am (EST) Sep 22, 2007

thanks for the invite - I'm old, but not yet that old :)

but I love Lafcadio Hearn

inlägg gjort av bookstopshere vid 11:59 pm (EST) Sep 20, 2007

Another Lafcadio Hearn fan? Must be an endangered species.
Ever see the film of Kwaidan? An old favorite.

Thanks for adding me! It looks like we have a lot of favorite authors in common. Did you check out our press's website yet? http://www.valancourtbooks.com :)

xenchu, do you have one of the old fashioned cassette recorders? If you record yourself on cassette, you can use software like audacity to transform that into digital. I downloaded audacity free from the internet. Or if you send me a cassette with your voice on it, I will make it digital and then add some images to it and put it on You Tube. I don't know how to upload just audio. Let me know if you're interested in doing any of this. I would love to hear your voice.

As one of those who list Sufi Studies Eas and West in their library, I dropped by to visit your collection We share 58 books.

I've joined - now what (-: I really haven't figured out how activity takes shape in this setting. Maybe one someone has a suggestion or two I can follow.

I am 60 and would join but how? My user name is Oldude59.

Hello again, I received your reply. The problem is that I can't join a private group unless I am invited. Can you send me an invitation and then I will send an invite to edandkathy, the other half of my collection ( with the sci fi and fantasy ) I think it would be interesting to see the group zeitgeist for the over sixy age group.
