I am quite sure nothing about myself fits into a box of any kind. I have an extensive collection of books, especially children's books and classical literature. I adore life and believe truly living is a lost art smothered under materialism and heavy grudges. I love learning and doing new things and I am rarely bored, because I am fabulously... more »

    Hello.
    I noticed you have several composer's biographies on your shelf. I am looking for members for a new group, Books on Classical Music. I started this recently because I couldn't find any groups on the subject that weren't either private or long defunct. The subject is books on the classical music tradition, in the broadest sense of the word -- essentially everything except rock, country, and similar "popular" genres (not because I don't enjoy some of these also, but because groups on "all music" tend to become focused on -- and swamped by -- one or two of them and classical in particular disappears.) If you are interested in discussing any aspect of the subject, the link is http://www.shelfari.com/groups/55360/about

    Hello Camie Joy!
    It seems like we just became friends and now I realize that perhaps my request for your friendship might have been a bit hasty on my part. I prefer friends who are on site a bit more for chit chat and as such I hope you will not be offended by the deletion. I did want to compliment you on your written profile which I found quite interesting. Wishing you Happy Reading!

    The Rainbow


    ~Christina Rossetti

    Boats sail on the rivers,
    And ships sail on the seas;
    But clouds that sail across the sky
    Are prettier than these.

    There are bridges on the rivers,
    As pretty as you please;
    But the bow that bridges heaven,
    And overtops the trees,
    And builds a road from earth to sky,
    Is prettier far than these.

    I liked Marilyn in Some Like it Hot, but she was never my favorite. The tabloids talked about her as if she was washed up at 36 (she died when she was 36?) but look at all of the actresses today that are over 35 and still working. However, many of these actors, for instance, Julia Roberts, did not base their careers on being bombshells. I liked Judy Holliday. Have you ever seen her in a movie? She was in a funny movie called Born Yesterday. I think she was working around the same time as Marilyn.

    Hi again. I like pretty much all the Austen adaptations I've seen, and I've seen a lot of them :-) I love the Pride & Prejudice adaptations, both the BBC mini-series version and the recent movie with Keira Knightley. I also love the recent Northanger Abbey adaptation which aired on PBS this past winter - did you see it? I liked the new Persuasion that was also shown this past winter on PBS, but I think the version with Amanda Root and Ciarin Hinds is best. The only Austen movies I don't love (although I do like them) are the Kate Beckinsale version of Emma, and both of the versions of Mansfield Park I've seen.

    In general, I prefer movie adaptations that stick as close to the book as possible, but so long as the acting is good and the essence of a novel is captured I can usually still enjoy movies based on books even if significant changes are made.

    Hi Camiei,
    Thanks for the invite. Have to admit an anti-myspace reaction, but I do ask members to send a note with their invite. Is it my shelf, fabulous personality or killer one-liners that prompted your request? lol

    I did not know that Marylin Monroe wrote a book. That looks interesting. Do you think she wrote it or do you think that she had a ghost writer. I will try to find that one. So many books that I want to read are not available at our libraries.
