Om mig I'm a technical writer! Of course I love books!

Om mit bibliotek Well, my books very much represent my interests these days. Take three cups of Buddhism, stir in a generous half-pint of Chado (Japanese tea ceremony), and add a dash of various spices... many of which are also Japanese.

By the way, you mustn't assume that I don't read fiction. I do; but my library had to be downsized when my husband and I moved into a smaller apartment. I reasoned that I could sacrifice most of my classic literature, since virtually all these books are readily available via the local library when I want to reread them. But the same can't be said of most of my non-fiction!

So what you see is the lean, mean, pared-down version of a book collection that once numbered in the thousands... because every book had to meet at least one of two criteria: (1) Do I reread or refer to it often? (2) Is it difficult or impossible to replace? Sigh...

I just posted a couple of questions in the Chanoyu group, and would love to hear your expert opinion! :)

Hi - just thought I'd say you have the best profile page photo on the site. Must be an INTJ thing!

Hi chamekke, thanks for adding me to you list of interesting libraries, I am happy to do the same because you have such an interesting collection of books on te and Japan. I recently worked on a new play in which the ghosts of the writiers Murasaki Shikibu and Higuchi Ichiyo appeared and I adore Japanese woodcuts so this is a new area of interest for me. Thanks for all the advice about Matcha.

Julia,

With pleasure. Hopefully, it will get serious attention within the next two or three weeks. I'm looking forward to more than the browsing it's had.

My Christmas involved an attractive, intriguing book, but scant tea: it sounds about even to me. :)

I hope you've been enjoying the holidays, yourself. Have a marvelous New Year....

Hi,

Grace O'Malley! Funny you mention her. Granuaile : the life and times of Grace O'Malley by Anne Chambers is on my list of books to read. I heard about it from a friend, and it has gotten good reviews on Library Thing. Let me know if this isn't quite what you are looking for.

Thanks for the links - I missed St. Bert's, but I did make it up Mow Cop. Yes, an underappreciated book.

Nice list of recommendations over at the 'Myers-Briggs: SF' thread.

Nobody else has even heard of Red Shift, it's one of my favs, too.

Hi there: without having read your review of Ethel & Ernest by Raymond Briggs, I posted my own review. I had to smile when I see that we both used the words "bittersweet" and "poignant". I gave your review a thumbs up. It said it all.

Hi there -- i absolutely love your 'desert island books' tag and am looking forward to reading them!

Hi Chamekke,
you're very kind to help me put workable links in the Tea group message board.
But I tried with IE and Firefox to access your link "address" and here's what I got:

Sorry, but the page you requested can't be found.

Please check the url. You can also look for help in Groups, or contact us.

Then I followed the instructions you added in your 2nd message so now the links seem clickable but I get the very same error message.

So thank you very much for your time and patience. I should bring this problem to the tech team (but I won't).

Hello chamekke,

Thanks for pointing me to the excellent article by Ursula Le Guin in your review of her Earthsea book. I love her work but would not even have known about the mini-series (a bad thing) if I hadn't seen a new edition of paperbacks (a good thing) on the shelves at the bookstore. Be that as it may, I did not see the mini-series and thus did not even know about the whitewashing of the script.

Hi chamekke.

Thanks for your comments.

You have a great collection, and I love your listing of favorite authors.

I see you listed Daniel Berrigan (I recall the Berrigan brothers fondly). A great book written by Daniel Berrigan and Thich Nhat Hanh in 1975 is "The Raft Is Not the Shore: Conversations Toward a Buddhist/Christian Awareness", which is the record of conversations between them in Paris in 1974, when Berrigan was very well known, and TNH was an unknown Buddhist priest living in exile.

And your photo is an equal match for mine!

All my best.

skrevet af bodhisattva kl. 10:14 pm (EST) den Aug 2, 2007

Hi.

You have Thich Nhat Hanh's book Viet Nam: Lotus in a Sea of Fire listed as "need cover".

I have scanned my copy, so it should be available for you under "Change Cover".

Very nice library!

Very impressed by your addition to the Lytton corresp.

I had a look at your link. I very much enjoyed the `camel` quote, but I think for me the `scream` sentence a few quotes later caught the right balance between the florid and the strange penchant for over-explaining the good Lord indulged in.

I recently read a book by Somerset Maugham - clearly an excellent writer, but with nothing much to say. I think on balance, I`d have preferreed to spend my time on a good example of bad writing.

The public remain impervious to the lures of Lord Lytton, so i may fetch him off the shelves and indulge in another quote before to long. Let us vouchsafe that the noble scion`s peerless penmanship gives pleasure, perforce, to unborn generations yet.

Hi

I'm new to LT, and just started my cataloguing. Your name came up as someone with a lot of shared titles in Buddhism - so I thought I'd make contact. I hope that this finds you well.

Hi chamekke -

The URL for our new Japanese catalogue is http://www.rarebook.com/cat36signup.html - there's a brief registration and then you get the username and password for the catalogue (Japan and Asia). Promise we don't sell the email list! It's just for future catalogue announcements.

Hope you enjoy it!

>Why do you have Aspects of Dafydd Ap Gwilym tagged as "badgers"?

You'll have to read my dissertation to find out ;)

Actually, it's because I talk about the his poem “Trydydd Cywydd Dafydd” when ap Gwilym threatens Gruffudd Gryg

“O doi di i’r Deau dir / Ti a fydd . . . Broch yng nghod“

“if you come to the land of the South, you will be a Badger in a Bag”

Bromwich cites the entry for gwarau in Davies’s Dictionary (1632): ‘gwarae broch ynghod, lle y rhoe’r trechaf y llall mewn cod,’ ‘the game of Badger in the Bag, when the strongest one puts the other in a bag’” (Bromwich 1986, 150 n. 66).

I don't have access to Davie's dictionary locally, so I'm citing Bromwich.

I just started the Asian Fiction & Non-Fiction Group. Not as competion, but as a further broader topic. I've read a few books, where the setting takes place in China and Japan, and wanted to further the topic to Asia, as I been reading a lot of, and would like to read more books set all over Asia. Please join.
I love the current picture you have for Japanese Culture.
My brother and I are huge fans of anything Japanese. He just picked up a copy of The Japanese Samurai Code by Boye Lafayette De Mente--great book, you might be interested.

Hi Julia,
You can also try searching the OPAC in the National Diet Library. It has English searching. It would be great if Tim could hook up to that, but I think it would be complicated. It is at:

Hi Julia,
I just gave it a whirl and got one book catalogued via Amazon Japan. But I had to do it as you said--by going in, searching the ISBN and then pasting the title into the add books for LT. I don't understand why an ISBN search directly using LT and selecting Amazon Japan doesn't work. But this is very cool!

Hi again, Julia,
I'm starting to enter my buddhism books and see we have more in common. I'm also still thinking of setting off on a hunt for some wagashi books. It's that time of year in Japan... wagashi sounds like a great idea! And I can't wait for Tim to get Amazon Japan. I have a huge collection of Japanese children's books.... though I might not be motivated enough to enter them....

Hi Tim,

There seems to be something (newly) funny happening with the diacritics. Some of my Irish-language titles are no longer displaying the acute accents (specifically on the e, i and o). This seems to have changed only in the last few minutes, as the shift took place while I was looking at my Irish book listings.

For example, see the Title and Review fields for this book:
http://www.librarything.com/card_edit.ph...

Without diacritics, the title is Cuirt an Mhean Oiche. There's an acute accent on the "u" in Cuirt, on the e in Mhean, and on the i in Oiche. It's now being rendered as C?an MheᮠO��e... or something like that.

I'm not upset or concerned, as I know these things are complicated and of course there'll be some flux as the kinks are worked out. But I thought it might help to have a concrete example in front of you.

(Incidentally, I took a peek at fraise's French titles, and the acute-e over there seems just fine. Perhaps it was a question of how it was entered?)

skrevet af chamekke kl. 12:36 pm (EST) den Sep 21, 2005

Yep, I asked for Amazon Japan teehee :) Tim added it to my drop-down menu but the search doesn't work right for whatever reason - even by ISBN. Could be that Amazon JP uses a different search format or whatever, don't really know (wild guess there, but wouldn't surprise me given how it seems separate from the North America and European Amazons - I know they share account information between one another, whereas Amazon JP doesn't, for instance).

I peeked in on the chado conversation there, will have to check out those books too :) I am so totally addicted to this site!!

skrevet af fraise kl. 10:16 am (EST) den Sep 20, 2005

Hi Julia,

I admire your Chado collection! If I were to add one book on Chado to my collection, should it be the Book of Tea? I am embarrassed that I have nothing now. Also, like your kodo stuff. Along similar lines, I want to collect some books on wagashi.
I'm still adding my Japan books--I also have a lot of books in Japanese that probably can't go in... yet!
