She is a librarian and I am an English Professor at a small college in Texas. Talk about a match made in heaven! It was not so much a marriage as a merger of libraries, film collections, and CDs.

You did a beautiful review of "Fly Away Peter." I am especially glad to see it since other was so far off the mark!

skrevet af Esta1923 kl. 1:23 am (EST) den Jun 23, 2008

We share 63 books, including Malouf's "Fly Away Peter." It has 2 reviews, mine, and one quite opposite. Since this is a book I am haunted by I wonder what you thought. . . Esta1923

Oh goodness - grading is painful. Good luck. It is 22 years since I read my Malouf books. I remember liking Harland's Half Acre. Time for a re-read.

Dear Jim
I daresay you've started one of the Malouf novels by now. Good luck. I've just finished reading Sorry by Gail Jones (Australian). The prose is beautiful - it's a lovely book.

Dear Jim
I've been very naughty and abandoned Middlemarch. I still think that Eliot's writing is very clever but the pace was too slow. I don't mind slowing down for something more poetic, e.g., Proust, but I would have had to FORCE myself to the finish the Eliot. I'm hoping to read one of her shorter novels later this year.

I picked up Theft by Peter Carey instead and I'm finding it very amusing. Each of his novels is written in a different style. This one is VERY Australian and I'm not sure how it translates, but it waa shortlisted for the Booker.

Hope you're doing better than me.
Amanda

There's a new book out called Australian Classics and I'll send some recommendations from that on the weekend.

Dear Jim
Good to hear from you. I know that you will like The Twyborn Affair. Have you been reading any other treasures that you can recommend?

Jim/Ramona, I just cataloged my arc of Margot Livesey's forthcoming novel and I see that you also have a copy. Should you read it before me, and that's entirely possible, I'd love to hear what you think. I like her work, so when I was visiting the bookstore where I used to worked they kindly passed the ARC on to me (it came to the store in my name anyway which made me feel good:-). It is one of the things I miss about not longer being in the book biz. Best, Lois

I picked up Max Tivoli on the strength of your review. Today I read your review of Young Werther. I'd always assumed that book wouldn't appeal after late-adolescence or early adulthood and I've avoided it. Now it sounds like a must read! That grad project must have been a gas. I'm surprised you can't find it on one of those academic databases that are too expensive for anyone but an institution to afford. I also liked C's review of Farenheit 451. Kudos and best wishes to you both in 2008.

Jim: Really nice review of The Fall. I wasn't over impressed when I read it. but I was young. I will definitely go back and read it again. The Plague on the other hand I have reread every seven years or so. It is illuminating and enjoyable every time.

Hi,
Thanks for adding me to your friends list. I live in North Carolina, and am a teacher of the Visually impaired. As a lifelong reader I love teaching reading (braille) and always hope that my students will be inspired to read beyond the requirements for school.

I had noticed that we share several books that not many readers have found yet, like the Long Walk and Ebenezer Le Page-what a delight he is!

skrevet af jill123 kl. 9:31 am (EST) den Dec 8, 2007

Thanks for your friendship! I look forward to checking out your books and hope you enjoy mine.

Hi Jim and Ramona,
Thanks for accepting my invitation! We live in Bridgewater, NJ which is in Somerset County, kind of in the north central part of the state. I grew up here, and my husband is from central PA. We met at Penn State as undergraduates and have been together ever since.
You have a nice looking cat and dog there.
Adele

Hi Jim & Ramona,

Thank you! He is called Nelson. We have another cat, too, called Gus, who is mainly white with black splodges (Nelson's brother).

Yes, I am in England. Banstead is in the northern part of the county of Surrey - very close to London.

Looking forward to getting to know you,
Allie

Hey, Jim -

You're spot on about this "thing" being addicting. I suppose there are plenty worse vices, but dang, this thing has been guilty today of gobbling up a good portion of my afternoon... but I am delighted it exists.

It's a real kick to see your collection of covers in a collage, huh? I'm new to this whole "tag cloud" concept, so let's just say I'm relishing in all the features of the site and the novel ways it is schooling me.

I'm a former bookseller who's just started cataloguing my collection, but I'm sure to fall short of the depth and richness of your library.

Look forward to continued book talk,
Dan

Your poetry and literary criticism books were the deciding factors in my adding you to interesting libraries. Then I read that you're an English professor and your wife is a librarian. It's perfect, not to mention adorable :) Literature has always been my favorite subject in school, and remains among my top classes in college. Being an avid reader, I am especially fond of bookstores and libraries. You and your wife are, indeed, a match made in heaven!

I recently finished Passage by Connie Willis and I'm currently engrossed in my Biological Psychology textbook. Good stuff!

Read any good books lately?

skrevet af TinazReading kl. 7:35 pm (EST) den Sep 15, 2007

Hey -- I'm finally on this thing!!

My libary is pitiful in comparison to yours (even though I'm not finished yet), so I won't be visiting your catalog too often. Your libary makes me weep bitter tears of envy. So thanks for that.

Hope all is well with you two :)

love Jacobsen! a friend gave me a copy for my birthday and it turned into one of my favorite books. luckily have a friend who owns a used bookstore, and he scrounged a couple other books of his out of the ether. Have read Mogens and a collection of his other smaller stories. truly amazing literature.

love the Dawkins also, but find myself not liking his all-or-nothing approach. his passion for science is amazing, but even as an atheist myself he comes off as exceptionally harsh. i think i'll just have to go back to reading his books on evolution. what did you think of it?
