muque and shylock tomes

muque and shylock tomes

Recall growing up having _Swiss Family Robinson_ read to me to me by my father as a child and then reading a lot of Agatha Christie (38 books) and Rex Stout (26 books). Born circa 1953, Muque circa 1997. Draw nigh to me and I shall draw nigh to you.

    Welcome to 1001 books. You can keep track of the books you have read from the book, 1001 Books You Must Read Before You Die, join in the discussions on the books we are reading for the month (BOTM) or you can debate the merits of the list as some enjoy doing. We hope you will want to join in the choosing of BOTM and the discussions. The current books are pinned to the top for that month. There are older discussions that can be found by searching discussions. If there is any way the group administrator can help further feel free to ask one of us. If you don’t own the book the list can be found at the top in the group description or at http://www.listology.com/content_show.cfm?content_id=22845. A downloadable list of the second edition is available at http://johnandsheena.co.uk/books/?page_id=160.

    Thanks for your review of The Last Gentleman. I just finished The Moviegoer and I now I want to read all of Percy. After reading your squib I think I'll try Last Gentleman next.

    Hi Friend!

    Please read my book "Passage to Paradise". I would love to see an editorial on it from you.

    To you in Books,

    I agree, Angus Wilson is superb, but his books are still quite hard to come by. I've wanted to read one of his novels for a while, but I have read his collected short stories, which are a joy.

    Hey back. Nope, your friend request has yet to come through. I'm a cat lover too - six moggies at present!

    Don't know much about prehistoric ants, I'm afraid, although the ant is a relative newcomer as far as insects are concerned. Ants evolved from predatory wasps, and are nowhere near as old as termites. By the way, the book I'm working on at the moment is called 'The Cultural Life of Plants'.

    That story doesn't ring any bells, I'm afraid - the only ant story with a South American setting that I know of is The Empire of the Ants by H G Wells (the story that Werber pays homage to in his novel, of course). I've heard it said that Indian villages on the edge of the Amazon basin welcome the approach of a column of army ants because they clear the village of all pests, from lice to rats.

    Nice to see someone else has read Empire of the Ants - I use it as the basis for my own book on the subject (end of plug).

    Thanks for the suggestion regarding Pale Fire. I will dive into this weekend open minded as I attempt to find a path through to the end.
