    Hey, thanks for the footnotes tip! A healthwarning about a book isn't something you get every day. Frankly you're making it seem a little bit more rock n' roll than I was counting on. I just have to find the eight months it'll take me to build up enough forearm strength to pick the thing up! :)

    Thank you for your friendship, cathyheathcliff. I must say, Ireland has always definitely been a place I want to visit - and maybe for an extended period. Just seems to tick all my boxes for a liveable country: small population, great literary culture, mild climate, beautiful verdant countryside. And, I'm a Tierney: must be the ancestors calling me back.

    Love T.C. Boyle -- especially his short stories. And Road To Wellville (probably because I love historical fiction and wit, combined.

    Hi Cat, and thank you for the Friendship invitation! We do have quite a few books in common, but I saw several authors on your shelf I've not heard of. I enjoy stories set in Ireland. Would you recommend Joan Lingard?

    I'm guessing from your profile, avatar and bookshelf that you're a librarian in Ireland. If so, I envy you! I was finally able to visit there in 2004, and thoroughly enjoyed it (aside from not having nearly enough time). Hope to go back sometime soon.

    isn't it odd -- we all have "O" friends, "O" books, etc. today, 11/9. Has it been like this for a while?

    Oh, I hope you really enjoyed it. I loved that book. I recently found a whole bunch of quotes that I'd written down from Slaughterhouse 5. It's very densely packed with really great stuff. I'll probably reread it again before the year is up.

    Ah, good. Having failed to obtain our email addresses, the weird asian locusts have moved on. Yes, if we could have imported some Irish rain over the past three months we'd have been much better off, and I'm sure you would have liked a few of our dry, sunny days. It was a great summer for tanning, I'll say that for it--my green beans and lima beans tanned right on the vine.

    Cat, we just had the opposite--80 days of drought. I see that the entire online male population of India, apparently, invaded Shelfari while I was on vacation. Odd how these up-and-coming web sites evolve from one month to the next, isn't it?

    So cathyheathcliff, did you ever pick up
    Slaughterhouse 5? In reading back my note to you, I feel i wasn't enthusiastic enough about how much I liked it. I mean, really? LOVE it.

    I will definitely report in on Allende! But right now I have to get back to my (rented) beach house on Topsail Island in North Carolina. I'm on vacation and paid $5 to get on Shelfari; how pathetic is THAT? Talk about your entrenched addictions. . .

    We have some friends and many books in common. I added Allende to my reading list because of your shelf, which is excellent, and well-tagged as well. I'm a chocaholic from way back. To Christopher Hutchins I would say the existence of a loving and benevolent Creator is conclusively proven by the new dark chocolate M&M.

    Cat,
    Thanks! For accepting the invite. I found that quote and thought it would be appropriate for this site :)
    I have always thought that being a librarian would be a perfect job for me because of my love for books, but they are so hard to come by in my area :(

    Hey cathyheathcliff.
    Nice meeting you!
    You know, I really would, actually, enthusiastically recommend Slaughterhouse. A taddddd different from Wuthering Heights, however(Understatement). Just a heads up on that. But it's definitely in my top 10. When you give it a shot, let me know what you think!
