    Hi Cinnamon! Glad you joined the group, and I look forward, too, to some great discussions. I've started three discussion threads, and hope we will get some more new members soon. Glad to have you! Ken

    Hi there, I see you have a lot of Scandinavian crime/mystery fiction on your shelf, I just started a new group to discuss our love of these novels, maybe you'd like to join in at http://www.shelfari.com/groups/29924/about or search for Scandinavian crime. "For the Love of Scandinavian Crime and Mystery Fiction." Hope to see you! :)

    I've been meaning to read "1984" for years and each month it seems to become more and more relevant to do that... I seem to need Orwell to tell me what is happning today. I didn't buy it yet because I want to buy it at some second hand bookshop in London... an old, well-thumbed paperback copy!

    Hi, again! I just wanted to take a minute to thank you for the web site and the authors - I will definitely look into them! And yes, when you talk to you Ma, let me know if she's into a particular author right now. Happy reading to you, Vanessa

    Hi, Cinnamon - just got on Shelfari a couple weeks ago and have been putting up my Spanish/Lat-Am lit books from undergrad, which were such a huge part of my life at the time. Also, was an Anthro major and noticed you have some of those, too! My current work requires much Spanish, which has been fading, and I am figuring I would like to get back into reading in Spanish to move the process along. Can you recommend any recent favorites, perhaps a far cry from the medieval I was required to plough through? As you are, I am a fan of Jane Austen and even John Grisham, but also loooooved Borges and La Celestina, plays by Federico Garcia Lorca. Thought you might have some good recs! Thank you!

    Hi Cinnamon, thanks for being Shelfari friends. You have an intriguing profile and a very interesting shelf - i.e. you made me remember Boris Vian and L'écume des jours. Must add it to my shelf: I loved it, read it more than once, but never owned a copy of it.

    Your profile alludes to your books being signposts of your years. I like that. I found sthurner's tags fascinating, and began putting a year tag onto my books.
