I'm interested to know that some libraries can reserve new books. I suppose this must sound "ultra-stupid" but someone said above that they use Amazon to search for covers etc. and then they go reserve the book at the library. The library in my town only has religious titles and westerns...

Glad to have you here at the forum! Cheers Elyse

Welcome to the forum David I can relate to your collection being ruined. I was living in a rental house this summer and unbeknownst to me, the basement has a natural spring running underneath it. I didn't have room for all my books in the house because it resembles a dolls house, so I thought...

First, let me start by saying that I am a huge fan of Harry Potter and have been since I was in 6th grade when it first came out. However, I was disappointed with this book! That pains me to say... really. But, I was sad that there wasn't much talk of Hogwarts. Like someone said above, many of...

I really love all of Poe's works, but I absolutely LOVE Anabell Lee. It's so beautiful and many times I find myself quoting it, or sometimes just reciting it to myself. Cheers e.

I know. I think it's just fascinating to see that some of my favorites are other people's least favorites and when talking to people I find out that my least favorites are other people's favorites. I liked Hearts in Atlantis and The Girl who Loved Tom Gordon (as a lunchtime read), I didn't like...

Wow it sounds great. Its down on my list as "books to buy." So, next pay day, I'll pay a visit to Amazon. Thanks Jay... I'd have never known about it! And kudos to the author. Writing a book is always a great accomplishment! Cheers

Salutations dear, I think you'll love it. Have found lots of wonderful people. Cheers Elyse

Yes, quite a good point. I do love a good biography. I absolutely love Audrey Hepburn's biography. Honestly have not ever read an autobiography. You're right. I often find myself wondering which parts are true and which are made up. Many times, I think it's wrong to add to people's lives who...

I totally agree with the person who said Jamie Fraser! I was only in 8th grade when I read the Outlander series. I think I learned more than I was supposed to about love and life, but he has always stuck with me, and still remains a standard by which I judge the men in my life. He certainly was...

Hello ladies and gents, I was just going to ask what other peope's opinions were of biographical fiction. It seems that I am always picking up books at the book shoppe that are bio. fiction and I wonder why I'm drawn to it. I can't really get a grasp on whether I think it is great, or if...

Just wanted to say "Hi." I'm a Junior at the University of Georgia in Athens Ga. Hoping to find an ecletic group to have some good discussions. Cheers Elyse ;)
