Heya Sergo! Writing a book? Wow! You were already one of the busiest guys on the planet..Glad you're doing great though. Take care, and I'll be looking forward to reading your book one day. If you write it, I will read it...provided there's a decoder ring attached, of course;)

Thanks for remembering me, Dear Abecedearian.
Actually, I do not read much these days: I am writing a book, so no time for reading...
But maybe I will find a minute now and then to come here.
(Thanks, Kenny)

Marthellen and the Major and Roberta and the Renegade are my recent purchases. I traded for them. I recently found the neatest site called paperbackswap. You trade books for postage only. When I logged on I put 10 books in the system and got two free credits. One book one credit order the book and the swapper sends you the book at their expense. When someone orders one of your books you send it at your expense. Really cool. These books I ordered are books some of my patrons have been asking for and I couldn't find so I'm tickled. Check it out.:D

Have a Great day

Live from Golgotha and Myra Breckinridge and Myron, both by Gore Vidal.

Can't particularly work out why I wanted to try Vidal, but I did, and these two appealed. They should land on my doormat from Amazon tomorrow.
 
The Body in the Ivy and The Body in the Kelp - both by Katherine Hall Page

Also got a few books as gifts...hope to be done with Christmas/birthday shopping within the next 2-3 weeks.

Just one of those serendipitous finds whilst browsing the book store. Being called a 'neglected masterpiece of 1960s America' was what sealed the decision to buy.
 
  • The Act Of Roger Murgatroyd, Gilbert Adair
  • The Diary Of A Rapist, Evan S. Connell
  • The Pilgrim Hawk: A Love Story, Glenway Wescott
