I'm not sure, but I am sure that I'm looking forward to having dinner with you folks in february.
"The world without us". Thats the book we were trying to think of at the cookie exchange.
Yes, it's planted so firmly sometimes I forget to remove it.
Hi Amber! I'm counting on you for some new books! I get kind of obsessive about certain things and then forget to look around.
Hey! I dont get on this very often. I LOVE Barbar Kingsolver. I super loved the Poisonwood Bible...and I liked the other one...umm...I forgot the name now but it has to do with nature.....Oh, and I read Pigs in Heaven when I was in high school and really loved that book as well. I am really bad at remembering stuff that I read. There are only a couple of them that I really liked that their names stay with me: Bride Stripped, Life, Poisonwood Bible and Kurt Vonnegut in general. I really do like the way he writes. I get addicted to authors though and then I am sad because I read all their books and I dont know where to go from them. I think that's why i read so many Dean Koontz stuff cuz I sor of got stuck and didnt know what else to read. I am more bold now about just picking up any book and reading it. But, I have been dissapointed quite a few times.
yeah we do. I'm checking out yr comix section, pasting gorey and strangers in paradise into my amazon window. ;)
If you're looking for other vampire related stuff try Children of the Night by Mercedes Lackey. Witchcraft + vampires + queer friendly.
The very first fantasy novel I read was one of hers - The Blue Sword - and that's what hooked me on fantasy 20 years ago; the other novel of hers set in Damar (the world in The Blue Sword) is The Hero and The Crown. Sunshine is another great novel - it's set on earth in the future and deals with vampires and magic. I also loved Deerskin; it's a retelling of the Perrault fairytale Donkeyskin. Sunshine is probably the easiest one to find in stores, but I've reread the above 4 multiple times and they're all great examples of her writing.
Yes, it was Oryx and Crake. Totally snuggly and depressed. Good to see you last night - xoxoxo
I enjoyed glancing through your shelves! Was wondering what you thought about Angela Carter's "The Bloody Chamber"-- I just finished it, and it may be a new favorite. I'm a sucker for fairy tales, though! Anyway, hope you're having a good weekend.
Amber, most of my Russian books don't show up at all. Those that Amazon knows about do show up, but the other ones -- I guess I'd have to enter them manually, but I've got no patience for it :) Maybe one day there'll be enough Russian users here to enter all the Russian books :) Also I think more than half of my German books didn't show up (I tried to import them all from my off-line library software). So I see that you've been rating books? What's your scale policy? ;))
I finally figured out how to add my Readerware library to this thing! Got about half of it uploaded today. Unfortunately, Shelfari doesn't do Russian books so well (barely at all) - yet?
I could just send it to you- or if you wait a couple more days (or till next weekend) you could read the whole set! They go down like Potter books.Oh, and I see that you have Ms. Wolf listed in your top 10. I wish I was intellectual enough to appreciate her writing, I have TRIED to like A Room of One's Own, but it just... well, I just don't think I am meticulous enough to appreciate her. Another book I have struggled to like is The Gift by Nabokov- I can't tell you how long that thing has been moving around the house, as I creep slowly through it, paragraph by never-ending-descriptive paragraph... I should send that to you too.
Just finished Love in the Time of Cholera, (very good)and The Golden Compass (finished most of it in the bath this weekend, hehe). Now I'm halfway through "The Subtle Knife," the second book in the Compas series. I like them! Of course, now I'm just setting myself up for great disappointment if the movie messes things up, but there is always the possibility that it will be fantastic... I hope!
good to see you!
Wow- just joined and already 4 groups! Whatcha looking at, anyways?
