I'm about a hundred pages into this one, Sofia. You won't be disappointed! I have adored this woman for ages -- and now I love all of her kinfolk too. If I ever have the pleasure of meeting Kingsolver in person I'm going to give her a great big: " Well now, will you just look at that." :D

Mon Dieu, there must be a story behind that. :D I learned (and am earning) mine the hard way.

I have this book, but probably won't be reading it just yet. I will be watching this thread with interest though.

Thanks for this link, SFG. It made my evening. :D

Happy birthday, Stewart. :D

I've been sidestepping Heart Songs too (for some unknown reason), although I've always enjoyed any of Proulx's work that I have read. I think I'll pick it up now when I see it. Thanks for the review, Dark Party. I dimly recall liking The Shipping News; it's been a while since I read it.

You're a sweetie pie, ds. (Banana creme pie, of course.) ;)

Shade, you could do this for a living.

... I'm listening to Derek Jacobi read The Daughter of Time. What a delicious experience. http://search.barnesandnoble.com/booksearch/isbnInquiry.asp?z=y&endeca=1&isbn=1572704667&itm=2

Ooo. This one sounds good. :)

Why does a sunrise deserve to be watched?

"Communication is health ..." http://etext.library.adelaide.edu.au/w/woolf/virginia/w91md/ Just dropping by to say that Mrs. Dalloway deserves to be read - and more than once. (I'm leaving this link in order to make it easy to take a quick peek.)

Mittens, maybe?

Ran across this in my search: (Random House Audio -- I think -- I lost my link. And I'm solely responsible for the bold type in the above quote.)

Okie dokie -- I think I will. If I was willing to spend $10,481.16 on books by and about Vladimir Nabokov, then I guess I can spring for twenty bucks on this one in order to get my consciouness raised, lowered or possibly even straightened out. :D

A friend is urging me to read The God Delusion. Has anybody here read it yet? The God Delusion NEWSNIGHT BOOK CLUB Dawkins: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/programmes/newsnight/5372458.stm

I returned Lisey's Story unread and got Running with Scissors instead. (I hope I haven't thrown away good money after bad.) I am thinking that after "On Writing" I should have just saved my book dollars when it comes to King's offerings, and I'm actually an admirer of SK as a...

Amanda, my g'daughter likes both of those authors -- do you have any other suggestions for a thirteen year-old who likes Tamora Pierce?

The last book of King's that I enjoyed was On Writing. I just bought Lisey's Story. It isn't too late to take it back and get something else -- anybody else read that one yet? Is it a waste of book money?

I just broke down and bought a copy of King's Lisey's Story. I sure hope it's better than Bag of Bones and Dreamcatcher were. :rolleyes:
