something witty

I'm a developement engineer with Shelfari (not part-time anymore).

I like to think I read from a broad range of genres, but that may or may not be true.

    Try the Eyre Affair, by Jasper Fforde, which will get you into the Thursday Next series.

    Well, I suppose that's better than being one of the more invisible members, right? I would send my condolences (and congratulations) on the breakup, but there are just no words. The propensity of half the population to pick the wrong spouse certainly does make lawyers wealthier, and everybody else poorer, but even this is better than being stuck with a bloodsucking fiend for life. Teenaged girls can swoon over Twilight only because they haven't lived through the aftermath. As Joyce said, "Let the dead bury the dead. Ay. And let the dead marry the dead." Looked up Foer and he looks interesting. I may give him a whirl between Brits.

    Hi Mike:
    I see your a member of the Photography Enthusiasts group. We're trying to get more folks to participate. Will you drop by and contribute to one of the discussions? Thanks in advance!

    Welcome to Costco. I love you. Actually I love the site. I've sent an invite to most of the folk on my e-mail address list and those who responded, have responded very positively. The clientèle is building, man!

    My sense of humor has always tilted a bit towards the absurd/morbid. So many books! I keep finding myself at Elliot Bay Bookstore...Bad Amanda! :) I saw "Stiff" on my friend feed and was so amused I had to add it.

    I hope you will take the time to view my YouTube book trailer at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q-t0K34iU6g. I am doing some research about potential characters to play the lead role in the upcoming movie. Hope you can help me out. As Ralph Eggleston Director/Production Designer of Pixar Animation Studios said,
    "I LOVED the book! It's a missing, ENDLESSLY fascinating link to the history of Hollywood. Thank you for researching and writing it!! I hope it's been widely well recieved, as it deserves to be." Best wishes. Gaelyn

    Perchance in your Reading Challenge post, you forgot to identify which book you were choosing. Otherwise, the post is not to topic and should be a separate discussion. As a Shelfari employee, thee should know better! For such an eggregious error, I shall to have sentenced thee to 50 lashings with a wet noodle! Thee may choose who shall do the flogging. I expect a full report. Dash For Cover

    I second Tim's comment! Haven't read either book (though I'm interested), curious to hear what the community has to say.

    I've read the majority of Terry Pratchett's books and would readily recommend them to anyone. I tried to read them all in order, its the second in the series, The Colour of Magic being the first. If you like funny, sarcastic, satire then Terry Pratchett is your man. Gah now I feel like reading them all over again

    I haven't read either of the books you asked about. Let me know which one people recommend and maybe I'll read them myself.

    The white suit threw me. Didn't C.P. wear red shorts and a red half-shirt? I seem to recall an episode with Hitler in it... Anyway, your photo is great!

    I sent the avatar in an email to michael@cs.washington.edu. and to mike.9@shelfari.com, but BOTH bounced! I also sent it to mike@shelfari.com. Did you get it? I was so excited about the group finally getting an avatar but now I am totally disheartened again!

    I just had an idea--why don't I email the avatar to you, make you an admin of the group, and YOU upload it? (You can demote yourself afterwards if you want.) The times that I got a response about the problem I was made to understand that at "shelfari base" you all are not having a problem even though you recognize that users are having a problem... what do you think? (I'm pretty desperate here, can you tell?)
