    HI, Thanks for being a friend just wanted to know if you could suggest one author beside yourself that you would read that is consider a contempoary read: and do you have a favorite african-american author?
    I'm trying to broaden my reading and wonder if others read outside of their regular reads.
    By the way I will be sure to pick up one of your books!

    Looking for faith-based books.
    Have you read the trilogy: Cry out; Renegade Saint; Victim to Victory, by Phil Quinn.
    Out of print now. I helped edit the third one.
    What is your novella about?

    Bawevi, Johnathan Livingston is an old 70's book that I remember loving as a child. One of the pleasures of cruising other shelfarian's shelf is that it brings up memories from books of the past. I'll need to reread JLT and give you a modern day critique. In answer to your question regarding faith based books. Sorely short in the category. Looking forward to the friendship. Dave (Garcon)

    I'll try to be a better Shelfari friend! Once school starts, I get consumed by the books we are reading in class and fail to update my shelf or check on my reading buddies.

    Hi Shelfarians,

    OK, I'm trying to take full advantage of the new features on Shelfari and in the process... take full advantage of my Shelfarian friends. I'm also trying to make good on my new year's resolution to prescreen potential "dog" books (i.e. terrible, stolen time, poorly written, trash).

    If you'd care to help a friend (me), I'd like to invite you to take a look at my "WISH LIST" shelf and based on your experience (if you have read them), suggest a few deletes or better substitutes.

    And by the way, I'll be happy to exchange the favor. Thanks in advance for your help and Happy New Year.

    Best, Dave

    I just read that they are making a movie based on "The Reader." I read that years ago, not well written, but I liked the plot line. And for some strange reason the book stayed with me. Anyway, I saw that it was one of the books that we had in common. Survive the artic weekend pal. Dave (also in Chicago).
