I read a lot, once. My record was 21 books in a single month in 2005. Now that I've found a partner and am getting a masters' degree--in addition to having a houseful of children--I just try to read well, in whatever reading time I can find. I read whatever my Anglophiles Anonymous Shelfari group is reading, and I still hope to make a... more »

Public Notes

  • Frabjous Day

    Frabjous Day says

    I also read Thud and Night Watch, which I see are the end of the Watch novels. Oh well. I do like flowcharts, though I never follow them.

    I'm Going Postal myself, now. Is there any getting out of this universe once you've entered?

    Yes! And I think it is best on bites, not straight thru like I'm reading it. And of course there's the Adventures of SH!

    I see Hussies, Snobs, Pranksters and Perfect Wives are in season.

    Perhaps the title's a clever joke. Just a little too short to get in a good snooze, damn it.

    Oh, yes, indeed, I do know what you mean. How vexing to have lost it!

    Heaven forfend! But of course, you do work in one of those places that "lends" such objects.

    Lord Manleigh says

    I wonder if I'd take seriously a book by an author whose last name sounds like something Judy Garland might take with a bottle of Blue Nun.

    Russians and the Brontes seem to be well-winterized. Can't wait to revisit Wuthering Heights in February. "Jim" is a romp and I can't stop thinking what a wonderful comic film it would make.

    I'm adoring "Picadilly Jim", by the way. Have you read it? How nice to send out this annus horribilus on a fluffy cloud of meringue.

    Ah. Planning a Dostoevsky binge, are we?

    Well I'll see it. Eventually. Meanwhile, I've been revisiting my Jeremy Brett collection.

    Lord Manleigh says

    Oh, good. I rather liked the first one, even though it is not Holmes. It was still quite fun. What vast supernatural powers is Holmes battling in this one, I wonder?

  • Lady Hermione

    Lady Hermione says

    That comes as a shock every time-it's as if one's mind deliberately represses the horror of it. The horrible insight into her mind is vile. Please, please, let me never do anything like that. I suppose that we're all CAPABLE of it, but for most of us some sort of decency-and the fact that we have to live with ourselves-holds us back ! That sort of cruelty is dreadful. The one thing that would hurt him most.

    Have you read LMM's Emily books ? It's not the same thing, of course, but the way that Dean is called 'Jarback' is really cruel, a mindless cruelty. Do those people think that Dean won't know that one shoulder is higher than the other if they don't keep saying it, or that he won't mind ? What brutes some people are.

    Of course, I have never been cruel or unkind myself :-/ But I don't know if I could do what Mildred did-not to what she did it to. It's not something that one really wants to think about (shudders)

    Darling! It's so lovely to have you back at AA, where you belong. I've discovered Miss Read thanks to you. Such larks!

    Naughty child, I've observed, from behind a tapestry, your Shelfaring by stealth as of late. Do come back to the fold.

    How are you, dear one? Are you making progress?
