Yo John! How's life willing the good? Gonna 'up my level' here on Shelfari, I'm not getting a lot of action. Is there a way someone can see ALL of my books right when they see my profile? Keep on keepin' on. --Shawn
Hi!I'm in Portland! I haven't read too many native Oregonian/ Oregon transplant books yet but the ones I have read (a few by Bill Cameron, "Geek Love" by Katherine Dunn, "Clown Girl" by Monica Drake, and a couple of Ken Kesey novels) have been pretty good. I moved here two years ago so I'm not totally up on the local authors yet! :)
J.M., I've fallen in love with my Kindle 2 so it will have to do for awhile. The Nook sounds great too! So many books to read, so little time...
JOHN!
thanks pal! Love ya!
I love it! I've decided my goal is to spread the word. Thanks for introducing me to it
Ahoy there! Reading anything good lately?

yo my fav brolier! how was mexico!! miss ya man!
Hey, it's never too late to make good on your promises :)
Cool! I will see if the library has it! :)
Thanks for the support! It is always, always appreciated.On another note, didn't you hate the suspense of waiting for the last books of the Dark Tower??? I think I almost died, lol.
JM, please don't feel that you have to continue this discussion further if you don't wish to--the thread has been deleted and the situation has been handled :)
what is your issue with the wikapedia content?
are you the only one of all our mutual peoples who checks this?... your wife included. not that i've looked at it since i signed up or anything. sad. i only signed up after i kept on getting emails from betsy "inviting" me to join.
So, I finished reading Oracle Bones last week. I liked it, but I would've liked it even more if it had more characters ( as in people, not Chinese writing!), or was a bit shorter....it started to drag in parts for me. But, overall, a good read, and since I teach a number of Chinese and other Asian students, it was personally interesting. How's it going with Owen Meany? I don't see the book on your shelf yet, so I guess you haven't read it up til now... There are always so many book vying for our attention, aren't there? Hope all's well....
