hithanks for accepting my invitation:)
hello angelathanks for becoming friends. hope to get some recommendations.
Hi Angela- I hope you are doing well. Are you reading anything interesting or you'd like to recommend? I am reading "Salem's Lot" by Stephen King. It is my first King novel and I like it pretty well. I am going to try something by Tom Clancy next. This is giving me a break from the classics. I can't wait for someone to give me a new Amazon gift certificate so I can buy some new books- I buy a lot of used paperbacks from local thrift stores-hey, you can't beat a good read for 50 cents! Drop me a line sometime when you get a chance. Jason
Hey Angela- thanks for the friendship invite. It looks like we have very compatible tastes in books. Yes the beat poets such as Kerouac and Ginsberg are big influences. I like Charles Bukowski a lot as well- he is kind of in his own category. I will peruse your shelf- I am not shy to add a book to my plans to read list if the fancy strikes me. Keep in touch. Jason
thanks for friendship request,its my honor.enjoyed very much looking through ur shelf,however willbe happy if u tell abit more about urself.cheers,negar
I've accepted your friendship because, well, to be honest, I thought I would have something to gain from it. I realise saying this may bewilder you, especially since we don't even know each other, but I tend to make such experiments in being too honest quite often. seeing your recent notes I gather you've befriended a number of people recently, for one reason or the other. so why did you want to become my friend (or, how did you find my, for that matter)? PS: I'm not a rude person (though I may have sounded that way), so I;ll introduce myself. I'm 19 years old (and I'll turn 20 next month), live in Vienna currently, though I come from south-eastern Europe (one of the former soviet block states) and I'm attempting a Bachelor in economy. I love to read and read anything I can get my hands on, from so-called the "modern classics" we receive along with the newspaper we've subcribed to, to the very interesting, mostly esoteric books my best friend lends me, over to horror and St. King and any book that strikes me as interesting. I try to read some of the classics to (in high school we weren't encouraged to, but I consider it important for my education). I have a little brother (we get along like cats and dogs) and a couple of permissive, but nonetheless annoying parents and I do most of the things that are part of teenager life.I hope I didn't bore you to death. If you still feel that we can have interesting conversations, I would enjoy discussing anything from a good book to politics with you (not my favourite subject, because I haven't taken an interest in it yet and most issues are still cloudy, but therefore something I feel I should be better informed about).
Hi angela. Thanks for making friends, you have a nice and broad shelf there. Are you enjoying Toast ? Looks quite intriguing I must say. I gather from your groups that you are a high-school teacher who likes memoirs. Do you plan to use Shelfari for your teaching ?
Hello Angela.No I haven't read Toast. There a few memoirs on my shelf, the most recent being Take Me Home by Jonathan Taylor. I've known Jonny for years, but even so this book came as something of a revelation - he treats his often fraught relationship with his father, stricken with Parkinson's, with grace and humour. Incidently, what books do you teach?
Hello again. Here's a recommendation for you. Have a look at Coryline by Neil Gaiman. It's a kind of 21st century Alice in Wonderland, and quietly terrifying. I loved it.
Hi Angela, thanks for the invite
No problem, thanks for the approval. I see you enjoy classics?
