    Pacific North Westerners to the core (I grew up in Enumclaw, WA), I am quite envious that you have read all of the Trollope novels that are sitting on my shelves...still, as of yet, unread by me.

    I love reading your reviews - especially when they start with "Finished it!" it always makes me laugh.

    I love your "Red Hat" photograph! You look terrific. I always get such a kick out of running into the local red hat ladies at the various eateries around Glendale and Burbank when we go out at lunch. They're always the happiest gang in the restaurant! If I don't get a chance before next Thursday, my very best wishes to you and yours for a Happy Thanksgiving; and it really has been so delightful getting to know you, Laurel! Cheers! Chris

    I get so very little time to read that I like to choose timeless classics. But not all are created equal, are they? Daniel Deronda is amazing - a one of a kind book. But George Elliot's prose is SO complex - some sentences you have to just sort of read for general impressions and keep going.

    Well, he has a fondness for mystery and horror novels. I imagine him reading Jonathan Harker's tale along with us.

    I was reading to the Children this evening and I thought of you. Or, rather, your cat. We are in the midst of Bunnicula, the tale of a vampire bunny, and one character, Chester, is a literary cat who suspects the wee bunny the minute they find the white tomato, devoid of juice, in the fridge. I am imaging Chester looking much as your kitty does when all the secrets are finally revealed. "Ah, see? I told you so!"
    Chester, of course, was named after G.K. Chesterton, which is just the icing on the cake as far as I'm concerned!

    I loved "Maud: A Monodrama" and hope you are enjoying it too! Have a wonderful Saturday, Laurel.

    By the bye, Daffy and I are trying to figure out how and if we should try and create a new poetry group on Shelfari. The group would be more geared toward reading and evaluating poetry rather than providing a forum for aspiring poets. I think we're more interested in discussing our favorite poetry and finding new poets to share. Anyway, we both thought of you too. Thoughts? Cheers! Chris

    And you're reading Russian conversation! Brilliant! I started on Russian and conquered the alphabet and pronunciation. But I've been doing too many other things to go learn more than simple phrases :(

    So, if I ever go to Russia, I'll be able to read the road signs, but not follow them!

    (Passes Agnes Shelfari's helpful orange "Friend" sticker): What fun it is, sticking these things in our sides! So glad. I'm also so glad you've been helping us resuscitate Dickens of a Group!
