Dinosaur sightings? Hiya, steffee! This is all kinda interesting, isn't it? Folks are popping in who made thousands of posts in the past, but who then (sorta like the dinosaurs) almost instantly disappeared. If all of a sudden a person or persons began to notice the reappearance of...

Hello, donny! I never see you around anywhere and I miss you! Where are you hanging out now? My guess is that you're kinda busy in your spare time nowadays. ;)

I don't take direction very well, but I'll happily drop by every once in a while so long as nobody yells at me. There's plenty of good book talk taking place at TFS and Moto lets you spam all you want at THH, so we do have choices ya know. ;) Darren, are you encouraging people like me to...

A life of reading, examining what you've read and also sharing the wealth with others can't be called 'no life'. Not in my book.

Everytime I click on your link, Stewart, the more staggered I am by what I find there. I mean - holy cow - it's more information I would ever expect to find in one place (never mind its being provided free of charge and by just one person.) Thank you so much for the hours you must spend in...

I read and loved The Sea, Sybarite, but that's all I've read of Banville so far. I have Book of Evidence on order (due to your review) and now I'm curious as to how you'd rate his other books. I just now checked Stewart's site and I didn't find Banville there - Banville being just about the...

I just today finished this book and the best part - it really did make it worth reading to the bitter end - was this quotation:

If the only purpose this place serves is to make your and Stewart's links available, then that's purpose enough. :)

The Hell Hole's a hell of a lot more fun (except if you want to talk about books), in which case The Fallout Shelter is the place to go. I'm grateful to this place because I met a lot of really great people here. I left because it was beginning to get grouchy. :rolleyes:

You don't know how badly that's making me feel. :D

You just said a mouthful, Clementine. :D

Sigh. Maybe I'll just take it back and then check it out of the library someday. What was it about TGWLTG that you especially disliked? I kinda enjoyed that one.

I know - it's hard for me to get it thorugh my head that not everybody wants to discuss what it is they're reading. :o

Has anybody else read Annie Dillard's latest book yet? http://nymag.com/news/intelligencer/34011/

Bottom line question: I just now picked this book up from the bargain table at my local book store. Should I go ahead and read it or should I take it back and exchange it for something else? :confused: (I was enjoying King's books right up until Bag of Bones and Dreamcatchers, both of...

Annie Dillard, For the Time Being. Not only is this book an education in itself, but it's fascinating and beautifully written as well.

Just for the fun of it, you might try PM-ing jay -- he loved this book just as much as you did. :)

Some folks say that she has begun to lose her edge now that she's in her late eighties, but it continues to be a fact that she's one of the best mystery writers out there. Sigh. I purely do love and adore Adam Dalgliesh and I'll miss him dearly when he's gone.

That's exactly what Priscilla said just to me just before they left for Hawaii. :D

Nicholas Cage refuses to watch movies with me. But I did watch The Queen and I'm giving it five thumbs up! :)
