    He's great! He mostly sleeps through the night now, and since he now simply must grab anything I'm holding, I have slowed down with my reading as well.

    Hi, thank you for these leads. I am certain that these authors are not available in India, but I will find a way of getting some of their books. Would they be available in the US you think? V

    Hi, Artemis, just wanted to let you know that my pursuit of the CLR James book has hit a few brick walls, but it is still on my list, just a little further back! Lots of "stuff" going on at home just now so reading has been slower but still my refuge. Hope all is well with you.

    Hi D. , long time no see! All's well here, have a new grandson (the other son's first). I've just finished Fruit of the Lemon by Andrea Levy - found it in the library . It's a lot simpler in plot and scope than Small Island, but the narrative voice is the same and just as accomplished. I enjoyed it a lot.

    All's well in Antics. Maybe this summer we can get a proper group read going.

    I went through a purge of sorts and realized I hadn't done the place a bit of good since you invited me on. I'll give it another go.

    Hi, don't worry I don't want to be your friend. I just appreciate the fact that you have "A House for Mr Biswas" as one of your favorite books. I read it in high school many years ago and it's still the only thing I've read that helped me understand my own father.

    Hi D, nice to hear from you. Hope you and your loved ones are fine. Have read Max and the Maximonsters for the first time with grandson Linus this week, and he was duly impressed! Lovely. Olivia is now 7 months old and beginning to sit up very nicely, and I think I'll have to start looking for the first books to read to her!
    I enjoyed "The Yacoubian Building" byA. Al Aswany a lot. A book about the people living in an old appartment block in Cairo at the time of the Koeweit invasion. Very informative, very interesting, and a very good read too.

    Artemis98,

    What a very pleasant surprise! Welcome to the Homeschooling and Unschooling group! Please feel free to introduce yourself in the thread entitled, "Let's Get to Know Each Other Better", if you feel inclined. Don't forget to add relevant books to the group shelf, start new discussions and contribute to the current ones.

    Ps, I never did tell you I loved Interesting Women. Read it long time ago, and thanks for that recommendation!

    My husband has been diagnosed with multiple myeloma, and I am overwhelmed to say the least. Not posting right now, just checking in now and then. Please keep us in your prayers!

    Everything is going very well--thanks for inquiring. Of course I have little time for Shelfari, and I've been having trouble staying awake long enough to read. But I expected this, and the lack of sleep and fun is immensely worth it. He is starting to adhere to a nightly schedule, which is nice. Hopefully this newfound consistency will continue . . .
