You must feel much better now that everything is finalized. Now comes the hardest part.

Did it come out in book form yet? ;)

You really want to know? Ruth Holmes Whitehead. She wrote a lot about the Nova Scotia Mi'kmaq. There are a few questions I'd really like to ask her about her research.

Don't know about the city with the most bookstores, but welcome anyway. Hope you enjoy your stay.

She is totally off-line. She used to be an ethnologist at a museum before she retired, and they won't put me in touch with her. All they have to do is forward my correspondence, and if she doesn't like the attention she could ignore me, but that's what they say. I'll have to try going...

Welcome. Good luck on your work. Enjoy the discussions.

An anagram of my 16-letter-total full real-name is "a nomadic myth told". So, I am the living of a story of a nomad's life, or something like that. A friend of mine unscrambled the anagram and gave it to me as a gift. I think it's cool. I love her.

Oh yeah! Nova Scotia, my home province, is pretty rainy at times, though not as much as the Pacific NW. Love snow storms and a good book, too. Rainy season in Korea is fun as well. Any excuse to stay inside to read. BTW, welcome, and enjoy your time here.

I've been doing some research, and one of the authors I've been reading a lot of has some intriguing ideas I want to find out more about. In all the research I've done on the subject, including numerous books by that author, there is nothing else available about those ideas. So, I want to...

Anyone else thinking about subscribing to Lapham's Quarterly? It looks pretty good. It will be contemporary issues commented on with historical materials. So we have thinkers like Tolstoy, Homer or Einstein talking about "States of War", which will be Volume 1, Issue 1...

I finally went with Harper's, against the poll results. It's the favorite of my former high school English teacher, the guy who turned me on to great books, so it kind of trumped everything when I finally went to subscribe. I'm enjoying it, but it seems a little sparse at times.

C3P0 and Yoda. Just imagine the robotic attachments. And concerning Harry Potter sans a fat lady singing... I think the money from a new book would be too irresistible for Rowling.

I'm going to read the Sea Wolf soon. I hope I enjoy it. I mostly like London for northern tales, although his non-Alaskan short stories are quite good, so a sea-faring adventure will be a new perspective.

Good luck with the project. Why not donate the books you don't want to write a review for? That would be a good decider. Luckily I can donate all the books I don't want to my school library. I'm in Korea and our English book collection is "developing". It's at about 1500 now, and any...

Hi and welcome. Hope you enjoy it here.

The movie looks pretty cool. I heard Eddie Vedder does one of the songs for the soundtrack. I don't think McCandless offers a very good Alaskan experience, though. :)

There was a nice afterword in the edition of the book I read where Irving was talking about if he would let his son read the book because of mature content. His conclusion was that it would be better for him to read it so that he could understand father-son relationships. Irving has a lot of the...

The hermaphrodite article is just for fun, but yes, it appears that although she is finished with the books she wants to continue living in Harry fantasy land and weaving whatever she wants. I think the fame and money and mania went to her head. Oh yeah, and I've never read any of the books...

Maybe you could try a cabin in the bush for a few years. The Stars, the Snow and the Fire and Two in the Far North are great reads about really being there.

It'd be better if he sprouted wings and flew away.
