    Hi Mmolino54. I'm from the Author, Author group and wanted to welcome you to our forum. November’s featured author is Nora Roberts, and we have two alternate authors, O Henry and Anne Rice. If you're interested, you can choose a book written by any (or all!) of these three authors, and after you've read it, please come post a review and star rating so the rest of us in the group know what you read and whether you liked it or not. Happy Reading!

    Oh well, four stars... that's a recommendation! Sheesh, I really should head on over to the profile instead of clicking that rather conveniently inconvenient little 'reply'

    I'm not knitting anything at the mo. In fact, just last week I ripped out two projects that left me... well, meh. I really want to pick up cables. I get them, in theory, but the charts just make no sense to me whatsoever. Have you mastered them?

    Thanks, Marc! (grins) Tomorrow is the big day. I suspect there's a book or two in the boxes that have been waiting patiently to be opened, despite hubby's encouragement to open them n o w.
    I haven't read Survivor yet. Pathetic, I know. I'm afraid I'm going to hate it. I guess if you're sending thanks, it can't be as bad as Butler made out. Did you enjoy it? Think I might?

    Marc, it looks like pandora is no longer with us? Do you have any info or did she contact you? She was on my friend list. Thanks.

    Reversible ribbing, heard of it? I thought ribbing was already reversible. Sort of. Anyway, that's the next episode of "Knitting Daily"--check your PBS listings.

    I am not sure how promising the group is, but there are definitely a few gems in the pile, one of whom wrote a staggeringly good first paper--her first since junior college. I love 'returning students'... truly. How are you, my friend? Reading anything good? Ready to pull your needles out of hibernation?

    Glad you like my avatar! I found it online...apparently, this cute little kittie's name is Gandalf- isn't that perfect?

    Naw haven't done Barth yet, but haven't recycled him yet either.

    Right now I'm reading Ain't I a Feminist? by Aaronette M White. It is really a soc/psyc a text book of the author's research regarding "black feminist masculinity studies". Down with patriarchy! Since I have always felt an aversion to ALL hierarchies this book is full of good back up for my ideas.

    I also recently re-read James Baldwin’s Go Tell It on the Mountain. Baldwin gets better with age (my aging LOL!). I also want to get to more Phillip Dick and Stanley Delaney and . . . yeeeeessss! I am still A.D.D. when it comes to reading.

    Sounds like a great day!

    Life is good, but I have been busier this summer at work than I have in a very long while. I am only recently beginning to come up for air.

    My #1 son has been doing an unpaid internship with Public Affairs here at the airport. He is moving back home next week. He says it won't be for long. I think he needs to stay home for as long as it takes him to find a real job, but check with me in a couple of weeks. My opinion is likely to change depending upon how many nights I have to stay up waiting for him to come in for the night. LOL!

    I see you are now on FB too. All these cyberspaces are making me crazy. FB is blocked at work. I absolutely hate my desk chair at home and during the summer who wants to be at the computer inside anyway? Still FB is fun isn't it?

    I am still trying to complete the Dorothy Parker stories, but have been distracted by several other good books in the meantime. What about you?

    It worked best for me reading them in sequence as you get into the rhythm of the work. I found my gaze slowed down and lingered more after a while and I became more welcoming of the occasional 50 page asides that he drops into the text. I struggled a little on either the Captive or the Fugitive and found the final volume quite different from the others. But join the group and go for it! I'm away next week, but want to launch when I get back and will start to read again from the beginning (well sometime before Christmas). Shake the trees and see who might join us on this quest.

    I saw this and thought of you. My nephew is doing a show with this artist in Atlanta. Is it not amazing?

    Hey Marc:
    Thank you very much for the Last.fm recommendation! I just signed up (under tapbirds), and it looks pretty cool. However I think there may be a lot more functionality on the site than I am initially aware . . . any hints?
    Otherwise, I'm "slugging" my way through "Père Goriot" by Balzac, but truly engrossed with "A Thousand Suns" by Khaled Hosseini. Hope you're surviving Ulysses!

    Hi Marc:
    Hope all is going well! Are you really reading Ullysses? How's it going? I've been trying to build up the courage to read Joyce's daunting novel for many years now!
