My heart's desire since childhood was to become a librarian and I succeeded after brief diversions into geology and physical anthropology, as well as a few years where I thought being an oceanographer would have been cool. Since getting my face wet and bobbing around like a cork on the high seas wasn't appealing in reality - I found my niche... more »

    Very interested to see what you think of Behind the Beautiful Forevers. I read it in ARC form a few months ago . . .I don't want to bias you one way or another so I'll wait to see what you think!

    Hi, TheLibrarian, thanks for your notice. I requested to combine the different editions of The New Irish Constitution and also requested to change the contributor of its some editions. It is because the author of these editions is not correct. I am afraid that if they are combined first, then the contributor of the combined title may not be the correct one. It's OK not to change the contributor before combining them. If the contributor of the combined title is not correct, I can request to change it then. Thanks.

    I saw your recent review for Mawson's Will, and started to recommend Touching the Void, but see that you've already read it! I was surprised however, to see Jon Krakauer's Into Thin Air absent from your shelf... you've got to add it to your to-be-read list - it's unbelievably good! (As are most of his books...) I hope you're doing well, Alfred

    If there is something you see on my wish list that you feel strongly about- feel free to suggest it. Since those are books that I have chosen to eventually read I would love it if you have any other suggestions beyond my wish list shelf. How about you? Are you in the mood for a particular genre? I noticed that you have a lot of animal books as well as non fiction and biographies.

    Maybe so but several of those editions specify 2 and some specify 3 and some say nothing at all about included plays.

    Too confusing!!!

    OK - about your "Plays for England" combination request. I asked about this about a month or so back and haven't heard from you. (I know that you've been really busy!) So - I'm gonna reject it now.

    Sorry - I just couldn't figure it all out. Even the "Plays for England" existing combination needs a lot of separation work.

    Mornin'!

    Re your separation request to remove http://www.shelfari.com/books/187899/The-Manchurian-Candidate/editions?eid=985594 from http://www.shelfari.com/books/187899/The-Manchurian-Candidate

    I'm rejecting the request as the problem is with the cover on Amazon - the "book" is correctly combined. I've reported the problem to Amazon. Usually they respond with a decision within 24 hours. Another day or so and the issue will be resolved on Amazon. A day or so after that, the change will migrate to Shelfari.

    Sound good?

    Greetings,

    FYI: I approved your combination requests for the various Great Books Synopticom volumes. However, these are really not the same in all cases. The whole shebang is edited on some cyclical basis and the volumes numbers (of that edited set) for the synopticom can (and do) vary. For example: I have the 2010 (I think) set and the synopticom is vols 1&2 of the set. In the older sets they put the "great conversation" book as vol 1 of the set. In my set, that was an augmented and separate boook without a volume number. In addition, in the 'tween-cycle reissuing, there have been independent publishings of the synopticom with only that "Great Conversations" book.

    I think the usages of these specific volumes on Shelfari is small enough to make it not-effort-worthy to really be precise. Just wanted to let you know about how this stuff really can be found.

    Thanks,

    BC

    Edit to add: re the golden bough stuff. Hope you plan to work on the titles once all the combinations are completed. I ::think:: I got the rest of them today.

    Yo!

    RE the combination request for The Way Things Work":

    I separated "The Way..." and "The New Way..." because the descriptions indicated significant new material has been added rather than just updating existing material.

    I also allowed the various augmented (for children, visual, etc.) editions to be combined. I know this is slightly off guidelines but the numbers of users is small so I thought it an appropriate sorta exception.

    Do you agree?

    I see you are reading "Blue Lattitudes"which is about the Voyages of Captain Cook. I really like that book. I think it helped that I had visited Australia in 1988. I think it compares somewhat with Paul Theroux's "Happy Islands of Oceania" which I had read some time ago.

    I'm new to this site but was wondering if you could advise me on how to remove a review? I assume you click "edit" underneath the review but when I do a box pops up with a loading sign and just keeps on loading without ever opening. Is this a site issue? And if so would it be possible for a site librarian to remove the review for me? Thank you.

    I know you sent me the list, like, 3 months ago, but I never got around to thanking you. That's an awesome list of dog books. Of that list, I've only ever read "Where the Fern Grows" (which I don't think I could ever again because it made me cry so hard). So I look forward to trying these out! Thanks so much!

    I'm currently reading "The Other End of the Leash" about dog and human behavior - I'm learning so much!

    Heya. I'm really sorry about my absense here and in the reading group. My life this summer turned quite more than hectic and I wont be able to be that active on shelfari as I had hoped this spring. It's my last year of college that begins and my first priority must be my classes and grades. I'm terribly sorry for abandoning the summer reading project but I feel that I cannot commit to leisure reading. I hope you understand and still enjoyed the books you read.

    With regards,

    Lio
