    Very thoughtful and well written reviews. Are you a writer? Do you have any advice on how to write those reviews? Or do they just happen?

    i'd certainly be on the lookout for reviews you might make for Haruki Murakami's books. =) i just love that author.

    Just got distracted reading your reviews--they're great! Now I'm going to have to add a bunch (MORE) books to my Plan to Read list. Thanks?! ;-)

    No, I had one more credit on audible.com that I needed to use before I cancelled (cheaper to get them at the library). I'm just finishing up listening to Time Traveler's Wife. I read it a few years back. But I find I like listening to books I've already read. I pick up a lot of stuff that I either missed or forgotten. I'll start Blood Meridian next week. I let you know. Also, I just finished Playing for Pizza by John Grisham. I'm not into his regular books, but I like his side projects like The Painted House. I enjoyed Playing for Pizza, about a young, but washed-up NFL quarterback who goes to play for a football team in Italy.

    Yeah, Bryson, Bryson, and more Bryson! :) I haven't actually read all of those Brysons yet. They're in my "To Read." I envy you having read the Shakespeare one; I only just found out about it yesterday and haven't had a chance to add it yet. I made one feeble attempt at Guns, Germs & Steel but got bogged down and threw it aside for a light British novel. Light British novels are the staff of life to me.

    Admired your review of Ehrenreich's Bait & Switch. My favorite part was when the ditzoid "career coach" told her that she needed to improve her writing skills!

    Thanks for mentioning Shelfari on your blog. I'll be interested to hear how you enter the herd of other llama aficionados on Shelfari. It's about time our friends from the South came into the limelight.

    You need to read "In Our Time" by Hemingway then The Sun Also Rises then A Farewell to Arms. If In Our Time" blows you away, go to Sherwood Anderson's Winesburg, Ohio.

    Really enjoyed your detailed critique of White's "TOAFK." Made me think about it in new ways ... and of course, give it my annual reading... Kathleen Chaffin
