Hi Chaigirl!I know it's been a very very long time, but can I still play?
Hi! I just wanted to let you know I want back in ;) I've recently managed to get some free time, so I'm back into the "reading business" :) I would love to hear about some new books. Thanks,Madalina
Okay, it's been too quiet. Share with us what you're reading, what you're feeling, what you're up to. Come by Color Online and sit a spell. You're missed. Peace. ~zawadi
Hey, Chai -- tell me about your new avatar. I love to see the new images you have going at different times. BTW, Housekeeping Vs. The Dirt made my tops of 2008 list, coming in at #2. Do you have a top ten (20 or whatever) listed somewhere?
Chai,How are you? Come by Color Online. Miss chatting with you. How is your mentee? We're looking to do new and fun things with our blog in the new year. Hope all is well. Peace. ~zawadi
Hello from Seattle. Dark and cold and perfect for reading a good book. I just bought my college books for this first quarter (I've never gone to college before) I am looking forward to learning more about everything. I, also, found a couple of books on job hunting on the sale table in the SSCC library that I just couldn't pass up.Do you do that too?
Chaigirl- I share your appreciation for Anne Tyler, Michael Faber and Memoirs of a Geisha...and others. -John
Hi Chai, I'm sure you would have forgottenme by now. I do apologise for vanishing and not keeping in touch. This year has been an eventful one - a new job, moving house, which hasn't ended as yet, new clients and a wole lot of work. I was also down with pneumonia for 2 months - so I was really not up to keeping in touch with anyone. I ocassinaly logged on to facebook, but only to reply to mail.But enough about me, how have you been my cheerful, bright friend? :) I have missed being here and hopefull I will be more regular from now on.Lotsa love :)
I see you up late at night as well. You must be pondering things not bought on you thrifty spree : )
Hey T! Just breezing through to say hello....
Accidental Tourist is one of my all-time favorites too. Even seeing it here makes me want to read it again - and one of the better movies from favorite books as well. . Other fave. Love in the Time of Cholera - I am watching the movie again tonight. .
hi chaigirl,nice to see you after a long time dear.what is up now-a-days?
I'm reading the follow up book for book club, "Mr. Muo's Traveling Couch" and I just don't get why ANYONE would think this is a great book. I have 40 pages left to finish but have completely lost hope....I'm dying to find out what everyone thinks of this book because I really need a reason to have spent $14 and all this time.....blah.....
Hey Hey Cha Cha ChaigirlHope your summer's cool.I have been on a little trip - now I'm back thinking of youHave to check w. the Fabwo's with a story of how Cheryl Richardson followed me to Indianna. hehehe
Hi, Chai -- I just wanted to warn you that Housekeeping Vs. the Dirt is in the same format as Polysyllabic Spree; that is, it's more columns from The Believer. But this time he is so much more inspired and/or the books "better" - more wonderful or more awful - that the writing is just more inspired. I hope that's true and it's not just that I was more in the mood to read Housekeeping. At one point he has a line that is so small you can't even tell it's text until you look at it very closely. Then you need a magnifying glass to actually read it. He does this because the line in question grossed him out and he doesn't want the reader to happen upon it accidentally. You really have to WANT to read the line -- which I did not do. He continues writing about the 64-member (the number of the Spree changes every time he mentions them) Polysyllabic Spree until you realize that's all tongue-in-cheek and they don't exist. Anyway, I hope that you do like it if you read it.
Hey chai, how are doing?? You know I was off shelfari for almost six months. I wasvery busy, but I am glad that I am back...do update on latest activities going on!! :) Cheers!!
Yes, I loved Grace Eventually! I was slowed down some by feeling compelled to write family and friends, telling them how much I liked the book and including passages which made me laugh out loud, but I caught my daughter-in-law's attention and she wants to read it next. Traveling Mercies made me a Lamott fan. But I'm still stewing over the carpet man who was such a cheat. Guess I could use some grace!
