    I sent you a personal email in response to your note but apparently you did not get it. Sorry. I will try to duplicate it soon.

    Hi! I've added some books, so as not to have a misleading shelf. The brothers are fine (or, I guess as fine as they ever are--last I checked Alyosha was being pelted with stones and bitten by schoolboys). Of course, Russian novels were written for Russian winters, when one is stuck in the house for months on end with nothing to do but read. I don't expect to have anything like that leisure in the forseeable future, so I'll probably be reading that book for years!

    P.S. Did you decide to read about "clearing your clutter" after seeing our apartment?

    Hello Becki,
    Hanff is the last name of the author of 84, kCarhing Cross Road which is a non fiction book that consists of letters mainly between the author Helene Hanff and an employee of a bookstore in England. Helene had difficulty finding books she liked in New York and would write letters to Marks and Col Booksellers located at the address in the title of the book. Her letters developed into writing more personal information to the people at the store but especially to Frank Doel who was the one who usually filled her orders. She was ready to visit England and her bookstore friends one year for vacation when a money situation came up that prevented her from doing so. She does eventually get to England. I don't want to tell you any more or I'd spoil it. It is a very short memoir and was made into a play and movie.
    The 1987 movie stars Anne Bancroft as Helene and Anthony Hopkins as Frank. It's a movie that requires one's full attention as it is dialogue heavy, and action and plot meager.
    I enjoyed both the book and the movie.

    I see that you have a Pooh book on your wish list. I am very fond of this series. Plus, I really liked The Tao of Pooh and The Te of Piglet. Both are by Benjamin Hoff.

    Hi Becki,
    Thanks for your input on the Tolle thread. Yes, you can watch the webinar after it was televised live, but it isn't up for viewing immediately. It takes about 16 hours after the broadcast for it to be up. Both the Tolle~Oprah lessons for Chapter One and Chapter Two are available now. They are helping me to better understand the text. Plus, it is interesting to see the calm Eckhart Tolle and how he gently responds and explains.
