Om mig AUGUST 2008 OUT OF THE COUNTRY.
http://ourgreatozadventure.blogspot.com/

Womyn, wife & mother of three 20-somethings who no longer live at home (but some of their 'stuff' certainly still does). Back in school for the 2007-08 year and now drifting into summer. Former bookseller (which explains all the ARCs).

CURRENT PICTURE: Western Australian Gum Blossom by Australian painter and printmaker Margaret Preston, 1875 - 1963

MY READING: I enjoy ALL kinds of fiction, poetry, women's studies, social history, New England history, art history, literary criticism, a smattering of science, nature and whatever else peaks my interest. My current booklog is on the 75 Book Challenge group HERE, if you're interested.

NOW READING

Oryx and Crake by Margaret Atwood (a reread)

LAST READ

The Magic Toyshop by Angela Carter
The Hunting Gun by Yasushi Inoue
Snakes and Earrings
Heat and Dust by Ruth Prawer Jhabvala
Faceless Killers by Henning Mankell

Om mit bibliotek avaland2: 2nd account opened exactly one year after the 1st. for mostly children's books, mine or my grown childrens', and other odds and ends of theirs.
dukedom_enough: husband, scientist and reader extraordinaire. Our libraries are quite married physically, but are separate on LT with overlap. He has much more data entry to do.
anguissette1979 Oldest daughter's account which is somewhat neglected. She has more data entry also.

MY RATINGS
My ratings average high because I rarely finish a book I don't like. I find it difficult to rate some kinds of books (i.e poetry, memoirs), so I don't. My ratings for books read decades ago are current (since I came on LT in '06) and in relationship to my reading now, so they may not be accurate. I may have thought the book a five back in the 70's but looking back now, it might score a three...know what I mean?

MY COMMENTS/REVIEWS
I prefer to call these comments or feedback, not reviews as I don't aim to produce critical reviews. I do aim to tell you, as if you are sitting across the table from me, what I thought about a book. Some of my older recommendations may have been originally sent as bookseller recommendations to Booksense (American Booksellers Association). And those are just that, recommendations.

Hey Ava,
I just wanted to check on you and see how you are. I perused your vacation blog and I am so excited for you. I hope that you are having more fun than is legal(okay that just sounds bad but I hope you know what I mean cause I am not visiting you with my intended(guess who) while you are in some foreign jail). My main reasons for coming on were to ask if you were done with school(if yes HURRAH. If no, hang in there, its almost over) and to thank you for my little surprise on my thread. He always brings a smile to my day. Continue having fun. Will talk to you soon.
Trish

By the way, I love your current picture. It reminds me of a Jane Austen/Elizabeth Bennet or Elizabeth Gaskell kind of novel.

Hi Lois
I finished The Rise of Life on Earth by Joyce Carol Oates. It is well-written, a bit dark, but then that is expected of Oates, and I recommend it!

Hi Lois,

I have sent Chris all your details, she has just emailed me to say that she will be in touch and see what you are up to and try and arrange something for you.

Not long now - how exciting. I will be keeping track of your progress on your blog.

Hi
I note the book The Rise of Life on Earth by Joyce Carol Oates in your library. I finished this book tonight and I'm curious what you thought of it.

Congratulations on your retirement. It's so nice to be able to attend the convention without the worries that accompany a position on the Committee. I hope to attend Readercon next year-we'll have to see. Enjoy Australia!

The last month and a half has actually been filled with work - the next month, though, will be filled with fun. I don't think I was on for a good three or four weeks. Enjoy Australia.

Lois,
Thanks for checking in. I am good at the moment, thanks for asking. My quiteness on LT has been largely due to my reading large chunks of not very interesting stuff. My Solzhenitsyn binge was a lot less rewarding than I had hoped for, and frequently bored me, so I didn't feel like sharing much. Consequently, I also missed the last few group reads. I wanted to take a break for Nigeria, but knew I would never pick up my Solzhenitsyn again, so persevered with it. I'm finished my Solzhenitsyn pile and feel proud but slightly weary, like someone who finishes a marathon well after everyone else, allows themselves a brief celebration and vows never to do it again. I am moving on to my 'new country' pile again soon, I think, so hopefully will be back to posting more regularly.

Hope you have a great time in Oz. Say hi to Amanda, if you get to see her.I was going to recommend a 2nd hand bookshop I found in Sydney, but can't find my guidebook. There is a very big one all the guide books recommend, but I found one a few hundred yards away on the same street that was much smaller but much more interesting imo. I'll try to remember details.

Make sure you check in when you can. I'm worried LT will collapse into its own black hole without regular input of avaland-matter. Hope to hear from you before too long.

Hello, Lois. Good to hear from you too and with exciting news! Have a fab time on your Aussie trip. Remember to keep lifting your head up from the page! There's going to be so many exciting things for you to do and see. Say hi to Amanda if you have arranged to meet. How cool, LibraryThinging across the globe!
I love your Carl Holsoe picture, his works are an inspiration for many an Ibsen set.
The girls are fine thanks; we'll be having our own modest little jaunt to Edinburgh for the Fringe Festival during August too. Happy Hols!

Djebar is high up on my wishlist. By the Sea is there, too. I almost bought it last week, but I really need to mooch instead of buy until late August (when I get a paycheck again! ah, the life of a grad student :).

skrevet af Medellia12 kl. 3:50 pm (EST) den Jul 25, 2008

I read Tropical Fish: Tales from Entebbe the day before yesterday, and it was a delight. Thanks for the recommendation. There are comments in my thread. I finished Okri's Starbook, too, btw, and it's certainly not his best work. While there was some nice stuff on the microlevel, I felt that it just didn't work as a whole. Too bad, but I'm finishing up the Famished Road trilogy and loving it, so I guess it can't all be as good!

Safe and fun travels in August!

Lois,

Saw you will me out of the country in August. Have fun!

Hi Lois,

Did you contact Chris about your Sydney visit? Not long to go now 'o))

Hope all is well.

Cheers Alex

Lois, thanks so much for the copy of Adam's Breed, which arrived in yesterday's mail. I'm hoping to get to the local shop this weekend and will take your BM wish list with me, just in case. You've got a few on there that shouldn't be too hard to find, and I'd love to return the favor.
