I will be interested to see how you like Corelli's mandolin, when I read it I struggled for about 100 pages, so many people to remember, but once I got into the story I LOVED it.

I would like to suggest reading THE ENDLESS HOUR- The True Story of a Haunted Soul.I completed publication
in November 2010.

Over eighteen years in the making,THE ENDLESS HOUR is about an illustration I created in 1988 that became
reality two years later,which involves a spiritual death experience.

This touching and terrifying true story is not only about me.It is also about... you.

For more information go to theendlesshour.com. Once you enter the website you can watch the book video and
read reviews. You may also want to visit amazon.com and read the first seven chapters of THE ENDLESS HOUR.

Thanks,
Jesse

Greetings Shelfari friend!

Haven't been around much recently, been a very busy summer (hopefully not over yet either). How did yours go? How are things with you?

I'm on my 70th book so far this year so it's been a pretty good one.

Read anything good recently? Or anything that should be avoided?

I just checked out your shelf--lots of books about Asia here:) I got some ideas from you. I see that The Concubine's Daughter is on your list. I read that one recently and loved it. You might consider checking out the shelfari group "China and the Chinese Diaspora" if you love books in this genre.

reading biographies of JQ Adams at the moment, part of a self-induced series of bios of presidents in the early 19th century to discover the origins of States rights advocates and to see how it relates to today's anti-government and radicalized sentiments. D

That pic was taken at Cotten Music shop in Nashville, Tennessee in 2005. I selected it because it seemed to catch me in the act of doing what I like best. Yes, let me know about Olive K. As for your selection of pics to reperesent yourself? Classy. If this is how you like to envision yourself, it is a good image :)

I see that you are now reading Olive Kitteridge ! I've been meaning to read that for two reasons; One? I'm an aging school teacher myself, just like Olive! Two? One of my reading goals is to read all Pulitzer Prize winners. Yep, I've got to get Olive on my shelves. Let me know if you like it, Ok? Thanks

Yes, but you also know I read OUT STEALING HORSES. Now I am reading SEA OF FAITH, ISLAM & CHRISTIANITY IN THE MEDIEVAL MEDITERRANEAN WORLD. The Islam book is essentially finished . . . waiting on reviewer so I can make final edits.

I'll have to look over your bookshelf to see what novels we have in common. I'll get back with you soon with a suggestion. But if you've never read Les Miserables by Victor Hugo, it's my favorite. Or, if you're not in the mood to tackle 1300 pages, have you ever read 'Til We Have Faces by C.S. Lewis? It's a great re-telling of the Psyche Myth, and as is typical of Lewis, the Christian allegory jumps out at you like a panther. Oh, and by the way, I like my caffeine tasting like dessert, too (smile)
It's nice to have a new shelfari friend!
