Welcome to Good Reads, Emily. The group profile should give you some idea of how the group works, and the shelf provides a list of books we have read.Last month we read and discussed Tinkers by Paul Harding. This month we will be reading Await Your Reply by Dan Chaon. Please feel free to post to any of the book discussions (old or new) and don't forget to vote for your favorite when we post the next list of candidates.We are glad you joined and want to encourage you to participate.
Welcome to the Paging All Bookworms! Reading Challenge! Looking forward to talking books with you.
Hi Emily. Congratulations on your new healthy, happy addition. Thanks for the series recommendation. I can't believe I'll be able to get through them so quickly. I love to hear that a series is that good! I'll move Uglies up to the top of my list of titles I plan to read. I'm so glad to have the good advice. :)
Emily, I see we have some books in common. I read "The Lovely Bones" this summer. I had some mixed feelings about it...I guess because the subject matter was so difficult. What did you think?Your plan to read list is so ambitious! I see "Unless" on your list....also on my list. Have you read "The Stone Diaries"? It's beautifully concieved and written I highly recommend it.
Peter Manson (born 1969) is a contemporary Scottish poet. His books include Between Cup and Lip (Miami University Press, 2008). For the Good of Liars (Barque Press 2006), Adjunct: an Undigest (Edinburgh Review 2005), Before and After Mallarmé (Survivors' Press 2005), Two renga (collaborations with the poet Elizabeth James, in the Reality Street Editions 4-pack "Renga+", 2002), Rosebud (Form Books 2002), Birth Windows (Barque Press 1999), me generation (Writers Forum 1997) and iter atur e (Writers Forum 1995). Between 1994 and 1997, he co-edited (with Robin Purves) eight issues of the experimental/modernist poetry journal Object Permanence. In 2001, the imprint was revived as an occasional publisher of pamphlets of innovative poetry, and has so far published work by the poets J. H. Prynne, Keston Sutherland, Fiona Templeton and Andrea Brady. He was the 2005-6 Judith E. Wilson Visiting Fellow in Poetry at Girton College, Cambridge.An audio CD of Manson reading from "Adjunct: an Undigest" was released by Stem Recordings in 2004.So I think they are two separate works. I can affirm that it was at Amazon.com because I found it there and then it was gone.http://www.barquepress.com/adjunct.html. It appears you can purchase it at this site.
Some of the books you have chosen look like great reads! I remember that I did read Middlesex. As for whether I liked it or not, it was a while ago. I think I remember finding the story interesting, but I don't remember having the burning desire to recommend it to a ton of friends. I'll be interested in your review.
Enjoy the reading time and these last qiet weeks. I bet your next books will be all about babies and their care.
I think I've read the book, but I don't remember it. It's probably a good book to re-read anyway! I will borrow it. I think I sweat all day long about small stuff!
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.
