I love Murakami and Kazuo Ishiguro and Austen...I really liked the kite runner as a book and so Im wary of seeing it in the movie form which I liked too now that I saw it...Silk (Alessandro Barricco) is another of the books that stays on in my memory...years after Ive read it...

Im also a big fan of Dennis Lehane's writing and was on a... more »

    I'm glad you liked it. And I'm very glad you liked the brother-sister relationship, because the novel I'm working on now is all about that -- two siblings in pre-mid-life crisis, you might say (brother is 40, sister is 37). I'm going to do my best to make sure this one doesn't take as long as EA did (11 years!).

    Thanks so much for being a reader. It's all a writer can ever hope for!

    I actually do have a good idea for a picture. I was thinking a picture of the downtown skyline. I'll see if I can find one. :)

    I've sent out a couple notes, but noticed there's not too many people from Charlotte on Shelfari. I'll keep looking and send out more notes. Hopefully we'll get more members! :) Sure, I'd love to be a co-admin. I think all you have to do is go the members page of the group. There should be a link under my name that says promote. That will make me a co-admin.

    Hi Dips. :) Sorry to bug you again. I was just thinking, adding a picture to the group might help attract new members as well.

    Hi Dips! I recently joined your group "Charlotte book lovers unite". I've noticed it's a bit stagnant. I'd like to get more people involved and plan to send notes to others in the Charlotte area to see if they're willing to join the group. I was wondering if you'd tried posting some new discussion threads to get the group going again. I started one recently, but no replies yet. I know it's hard to get/keep discussions going with only 12 members.

    Hi Dips,

    Thanks for that message. I don't think Indian fiction is quite my thing, but I thanks for taking the time to send the message.

    Best Wishes,

    Hi Dips! Sorry for the delayed reply, I have been incommunicado for a couple of weeks...but I'm back now! : )
    Thanks for the compliment on my shelf, ecclectic is good, and keeps things interesting! As far as your question on whether I am a vegetarian, no, I'm not, but we have talked about being more vegetarian in our menu's and food habits, but we're still working on that one!
    It was fun taking a look at your shelf as well, you have some fantastic books on your hoping to read list in particular! Wishing you a delightful day!! HPG

    Hi! I think I have to rewrite my profile. I meant that I did not like it if people requested friendship without leaving a note! So I am requesting your friendship.
    Thanks for the compliments on my shelf. I am a total bookaholic, have way more books that I can ever read, but enjoy them so much! Happy reading!
