As MoreCowbell said it really depends on what you're looking for. There are so many types of poetry out there. Some of my favorites are: -Walt Whitman -William Butler Yeats -Edna St. Vincent Millay -Winifred M. Letts I think it just takes reading lots of poetry to find where you feel...

I've heard it said and it is something I myself try to hold true to when I'm tagging my books, Classic, that all books published prior to 1950 are consider Classic Literature. I do believe there are exceptions to this 'rule'. Suggestions: -North and South by Elizabeth Gaskell -Bleakhouse...

I just thought of something else. One of my blog posts a while ago was about how much of a bookstore snob I am, etc. In the post I mentioned the fact that I don't like it when used bookstores are run by grumpy old men who are not willing to help. In many cases I've been barked at and made to...

I really like for a used bookstore to know their what they have. It is one of the most annoying things to me to walk in and ask them do you have this book by such and such and have them say we don't know. My favorite used bookstore the owner has literally 10s of thousands of books and you...

Well if you want for information, I'm here. :)

I tend to be a bookstore snob. When I walk in if I'm not impressed I won't be back. :blush: When it comes to used bookstores, what do appreciate about your favorite used bookstore? Or what are you picky about that you don't see your bookstore doing?

AquaBlue, how open are you to considering alternative health options? You know nutritional supplements and the like. The lady I work for owns several natural health based companies including the one I work for, a natural health expo. At the expo I've met and become good friends with Autumn...

Thanks! Boy howdy there are more books than I thought. :)

Don't be so sure about the screaming tween fangirls. I went to a later showing thinking I would escape that. I was wrong. What part of no talking do people not understand? Maybe it has calmed down some now that movie has been out for awhile, I don't know. I have to go see it again with a friend...

A while ago I watched the newest version of the Forsyte Saga and loved it. I then started looking for the books and I found what I thought was the complete saga in one. Then while I was at a used bookstore I picked up another book by John Galsworthy thinking oh good another one of his books. It...

I have LibraryThing for the books I own and I use a TBR tag to keep track of what I haven't read yet. I don't think I could live without it. Ok yes I could, but I don't want to. :) For the books I want to purchase I keep track of them a few different ways. I have a small spiral bound notebook...

My irritation comes in 2 forms today. I'm bored, I am at work and completely bored. My job has a busy season and a slow season. Well right now it is slower than slow and I'm fighting the urge to pull my book out of my desk and read to my hearts delight. However, I'm sure that wouldn't get me...

Thanks! It is a classic must! :D

I have a 15-year-old brother whom I've been trying to bring over to the bibliophile side for years. I'm strict when it comes to birthdays and other gift holidays that presents must be books for people and have difficulties when it comes to my little brother accomplishing this. I know a few years...

You might try Queen's Own Fool by Jane Yolen. I loved it, it's about Mary Queen of Scots. Although, it is more like the 16th Century. Also Girl in a Cage by Jane Yolen is good, 1300's. If you like Scottish Historical Fiction. :D Oh I just remembered another one. I absolutely love this book...
