    I will read Allende's newest novel, yes... eventually. There are a whole lot of books ahead of her in the queue, though. (chuckles) That is never going to change! Have you read it yet? What did you think?

    Hi! I noticed the book BELOVED on your shelf. Wasn't that made into a movie that Oprah Winfrey helped produce or am I thinking of something else? If I'm right, I think she and Danny Glover (The Color Purple) were in it.

    Hi Minnie! Thanks, I will! There is a wealth of opportunity for readers and writers here. Come the weekend, I'm going to do some serious touring!

    Hi,

    Wow! I really respect writers a lot.. There is so much love, passion, hard work, imagination that goes into writing a book. It is really amazing. What books have you written? (I see you have mentioned 'Whispers From The Mirror'. Sounds interesting. Would love to read your books.

    Looking forward to getting to know you and reading your books.

    It was a lot of fun. And a huge learning experience. I did get all of you. Not bad, huh? Took me a while. Good thing they number each entry.

    Yes, and vampires are corpses who rise from the dead at night and suck blood. Anne Rice got that. Charlaine Harris gets that. I fear for these children reading Twilight who wouldn't know a vampire if bitten. Glittering in the sunlight, I tell you. Sheesh! I'll look for your story. Back to grading papers I go...
    Hope your back isn't bugging you too much today.

    An epidural? Wow. Ouch. But if it's helping with the pain, more power to it and to you. Yes, you rise & keep on keeping on! You've got a lot to do.

    I do enjoy Keillor, and try to catch his radio show most weekends. He's also got one of the best voices in radio for putting children to sleep. (grins)

    Let me know what you make of Marías if you get around to reading the story in the New Yorker. Yes, he's been and is being translated, and the woman who translates him is pretty darn good.

    What are you reading these days? Anything to recommend?

    Hahaha Raising left hand and repeating. What? No! That's wrong, I need to edit. Raising right hand, then what. More editing. When is this going to be right? Raising right hand and repeating--I need coffee--"I am a--where is that coffee--writer. It's my--ah coffee--career, not a--I wonder if the mail has come yet--hobby."

    I guess I am a writer. haha

    Thanks

    Hey Minnie, I guess it's about time I checked out this site. So far I like it. I added Menage, it's on my shelf if you want to add to your books too.

    Now, to go look around....

    Heya! I hope your back problems are relieved soon... that sounds like a royal pain. No idea about how to write while in pain. Maybe one of those computer programs that allows you to speak while it transcribes your words, though you have to do some serious editing with those as they don't seem to get everything quite right.

    When I Was Mortal is a short story collection, so you can always read one, and if you like it carry on, and if you don't, then skip the rest. In the meantime, though, you can read one of Javier Marías's short stories here:

    We are having better weather than you. (chuckles) even if it can't decide whether it should rain or be sunny. I just have an umbrella with me all the time.

    Yes, that is the same book. It is very good so far. This is new to me so I'm obsessing. I bought it from iTunes and put it on my iPod touch. I cooked dinner then did some knitting on a pair of socks that should be finished by now. I am going to buy some more books and update my shelf.
