Om mig I'm a therapist and avid reader; I could spend an entire Saturday curled up with a book in front of the fire. I also love to cook, garden and spend time with family. My husband and I recently bought our first home which we share with our two cats and lots of bookshelves! I was a bookworm from the time I was small, and love books for their transportive and transformative power.

Om mit bibliotek My collection is steadily growing; I enjoy reading modern literary fiction as well as the classics. I am also fascinated by literature about other countries; this interest was inspired in part by my husband's deployment to Iraq last year which fueled a desire to know more about the Middle East. My goal in 2008 is to really delve into fiction from other countries and expand my literary travels. I am starting off the year exploring fiction from Africa and am chronicling that journey in the Reading Globally group.

Stacie,
I received the book today, before I even received your message. Thanks for that. I think it is one I would like to re-read at some point (I often think that, but only re-read a fraction of my stuff). If you see anything in one of my posts that you fancy reading, and its hard to get hold of, I am always happy to send stuff out. I am thinking of releasing a pile of stuff on bookmooch soon. If I do, I'll let the Reading Globally group know.
Cheers,
Andy

Litfan,
I only just posted the book today. Sorry for the delay. I have had a few things going on (job interviews for one) that have sidetracked me a bit. Anyway, it should arrive in a few days.

I will be happy to pass the book along, if you want to send me your address. I would be interested for a second opinion on it. Its up to you, of course, but hopefully Avaland will vouch for the fact that I'm not too crazy.

Glad my library has some stuff to interest you. The one lesson I've learned on my literary travels is just how much stuff from the rest of the globe is out there and accessible. I never thought I'd get as far as I have, and its still going strong!
I don't give star ratings, though I have started to review, so if please feel free to contact me if you want an opinion on anything you find in my library.
Cheers,
Andy

I just had a lot of fun browsing your catalogue. A lot of things caught my attention and I added We to my wishlist.

I found you in the Middle Eastern Authors group by the way.

You're welcome for the invite. We always like to have new voices and there is a nice mix of readers in the group, an assortment of conversations on a variety of levels.

We have a really intriguing list of books in common; quite a mix. If you like the No #1 Ladies Detective Agency, you might live Frangipani by Celestine Vaite. I read it for a book group, it's a mother daughter tale set in Tahiti (by a Tahitian author). It's light, but the voice of the main character reminded me very much the No#1 Ladies Detective Agency. Everyone in the group (and this was an Orange Prize reading group; the book was on the long list) liked it and laughed over so many spots it in. A theme of the struggle between the old traditions and modernity also runs through it.

Best, Lois

Hi, Stacie,
It's nice to "meet" you. I joined LibraryThing about a week ago, and am a long way from completing the cataloging of my collection. My reason for owning Courage After Fire is different from yours. I'm a psychiatic nurse and a faculty member in an associate-degree nursing program. I team teach a course in psychiatric/mental health nursing to second-level nursing students. One of my topics is violence and abuse. We focus on individual crime victimization, domestic and family violence, and then broaden our scope to look at the effects of disaster, terrorism, and war. Most of my students will not be working with the severely mentally ill after they graduate, but they will all encounter ordinary persons who experience extraordinary life events. I help them begin to develop the knowledge and skills to care for these persons, whether in their professional or personal lives. Courage After Fire is a good resource. Am open to other suggestions from you or anyone else who reads this. Thinking about starting a group, but first need to make greater headway with cataloging.
Happy New Year to you, your husband, and the cats.
Kathi

Hello! You are #1 on my list for the most books in common, 32 out of my 58. I have enjoyed reading through your catalog and have found several books to add to my wish list. Thanks!

Welcome to Arabic, North African and Middle Eastern Literature. I remember doing the math once on how many books I have divided by how much i manage to get read in a year and it seemed, back then, that if I made it to around 110 or so, I'd get to them all. At least we can keep them on the shelf for ages and they won't go bad. Like Twinkies that way, they are. BW
