I like how in my tag area, horror and humor are right next to each other. A coincidence? I think not!

I can't stop adding "to be read" books! I see so many I want to read and I have to add them. Maybe I will get around to them all one day.

Like most of those on this site, I simply love books! I grew up loving to read and I... more »

    Hi Cheryl, I see where you're reading "When Will There Be Good News". I've never heard of the author before, and I'm always looking out for new writers to read. Are you enjoying it so far?

    Love your choice of picture, the pose so languid, the garment so full, it's such a wonderful picture.

    Hey Cheryl! I did really enjoy it, it was different. I'll have to read it again sometime now that I know the story. I've been doing okay! How have you been?

    glad you liked it. it is the booked that sparked my passion for reading mr. bryson's wry witicisms. have you read other bryson (sorry, too lazy check your shelf at the moment). if not, i can recommend a couple that i think you would like. of course, as with many authors, you have to take bryson in small doses. if you try to read a bunch in a row, they will read very similarly. that is all. hope all is well by you.

    Hey it's been a while- thanks for your kind words on the 80's group. I can't remember exactly, but didn't you tell me you live on Signal Mtn. ? As a fellow southerner I was just wondering. We are about the same age (you said you were born in'73). I will be 37 in May- egads! I loved "Lonesome Dove", really liked "Middlesex", and liked "Snow Falling On Cedars"- let me know how you like the latter. Talk to you soon.

    I'd say thanks but I guess I'm only responsible for the downloading and changing avatar portion of the Klimt ;) hehe. I like it too, the whole sea serpent series is neat!

    SIMS, oooh how addicting. I've been playing a lot of virtual Clue, like a nerd!

    Thanks! Hope all is well. Yes, this is pretty pretty! I've had it for a bit and maybe will change - must find something as sharp as this, but it's certainly nice to be ready to offer drinks to anyone who drops by! :-)

    terrific, I think you'll like Keys of the Kingdom, it's a lovely bit of historical-fiction centered a subject that's rarely written about in fiction...it's a very endearing book...oh, and take your time picking out something for me, I'm not in any rush...

    (grins) okay, I mulled...here's a couple for you...

    Elmore Leonard...Rum Punch or The Keys of the Kingdom...A.J. Cronin...you might even want to read both since Elmore is such a fast read, he's like a little bag of potato chips, opened up and quickly gone...but I think you'll like either, they are crowd-pleaser books...(grins wider and slyly) unless you're really brave and want to try Mieville...

    hi, cheryl...oh, anything you pick is fine, as long as it's not nonfic or political, I'm open to anything else, and same for me in that it doesnt have to come from my wishlist or plantoread shelf...introduce me to something new...

    (grins) as for yours, I'm still mulling, but we've got time since we're stretching this out two months...will give you a couple of picks soon...

    Yes. Xynoxia recommends it and Cindy does too. So sure, why not? And then I'm going to read one of these really rabidly sex-filled vampire books that Xynoxia is telling me about. Gonna find out what it's all about...

    Hey I made a group called "Dangerous Minds - The Revolutionaries". Check out the premise. I don't think it is up your alley but check it out anyway. I hope it takes off cause it is a subject I'm very interested in. I checked the existing groups and didn't see anything that matches it.
