He is certainly the nicest and best of the group so far.
Unless we count VN himself? Vera may have something to say about that!

If VN is going to be there, the guys might as well stay home.

Nonsense. That'd be no fun at all!
That would be like telling the women folk to stay home on account of Little Lo.

Timofey is a little old for me too, it's not all that different...

LOL Steffee, someone around here has a signature line something like "I could say more....."

Where is Still, by the way, I thought she might've joined our party... and given Halo back her signature.

Ah, I didn't say he wouldn't do! But okay, you have him Pontalba. I'm getting ready for our next victim.

How old is SK, by the way?

btw, absolutely Love Your Avatar!

It's um... true though!

I love yours too! I think I mentioned that in the Lolita thread, but just in case...

Without going back and looking, if I remember correctly about early 30's.
I am due for a reread. But I have 3 other books I'm reading at present.

One of which is one my book fairy gave me--Autobiography of a Geisha by Sayo Masuda and translated by G.G. Rowley.
I can't say enough good things about this book. Really.

The usual couple from Borders:

The New York Trilogy - Paul Auster ; at last,

Weimar Culture - the Outsider as Insider - Peter Gay; looks authentic.

Do you know if this Peter Gay is the same one who was killed in the plane crash in PA on 9/11?

I know it wasn't directed at me, but I don't think it is the same person. Wikipedia doesn't have a date of death for the writer and when I searched for the other person it said he was in his 50's, and the writer would be older.

Hope that helps.

The New York Trilogy - Paul Auster ; at last,

You'll enjoy it. I have not read all of it, but from what I've read, yeah, you'll enjoy it.

Oh well he might have to do then.

I can say enough good things about this book fairy of yours. Want to send her over this way?

ABC,
Apparently not. My google shows a Peter Gay of Raytheon Operations in Massachusetts who died in the crash.

Here is the author of Weimar Culture from the Web:
Peter Gay

which BTW looks like an interesting data base.
