Yeh, what he said.

I had to log in just to say what an awful horror is that second Bloomsbury cover. It's shockingly garish and plain ugly. So the publishers believe children to have that little taste? I'm offended on behalf of all the literate children - and I know lots of them!:mad:

Is "mischievous" really the word for those fairies? I found that main fairy guy rather more sadistic than mischievous. A real big pill.

The Partly Cloudy Patriot by Sarah Vowell.

Thanks to those who addressed my inquiry, ABC and tartan_skirt. I'm on my way to work, but wanted to thank you personally and will attend later to the details. Thanks again. I'll probably do this in a week and a half when my work schedule eases up a bit.:rolleyes: :)

resurrected for listal question I can't seem to find an easy way to use listal. In librarything you just type in your title and a list comes up to tick one off. At listal I only seem to be able to browse through thousands of pages of entries and tick them off that way. And I can't even skip...

Oh, I'm sure you'll bear up just fine. I'm sorely tempted to join the hoopla with my daughter and her pals and dress up as Sybil Trelawney. Costumed persons get line preference. Last time, I just nipped in Target early, went home and did the "jump ball" and lost.

See you around the boards - oh, and welcome. You'll pick up all that other stuff in no time.

07 It is thus Written; That those of whom clandestine the erosion of this error by night shall esteem the latter, by which Forces unvisited shall en-ruin be ignited by dark. What the frickin' heck...? Who can be saved by that? It's indecipherable. Best intentions, I know.:confused:

I'm going to jump in and pitch Walter Mosely again. I completely love his Easy Rawlins series. It's not especially traditional, but with spot-on California locales, a little Hollywood, mostly LA suburbs from the nineteen fifties/sixties. Sweet dialects are very true to the region. Here is an...

Did you try going to your documents file, then copy and paste the url into the "enter url" box? Hope it works, since I'd love to see your library.:)

Welcome to you, Lit.:)

Happy birthday, Prairie_Girl. Have a super fun day - maybe reading? Whatever you prefer, may it be yours. :)

Finished: Capote - Gerald Clarke Daughters in Law - Henry Cecil Martian Time-Slip - Philip K. Dick A Million Little Pieces - James Frey The Messiah of Stockholm - Cynthia Ozick Started: The Memoirs of Hadrian - Marguerite Yourcenar So, after Oprah told off James Frey, how did he...

What's the buzz at the online book review sites? This can help me avoid or latch onto a title or author. Not whether anyone likes the author, but what is said in the discussions. Another thing that I haven't seen mentioned yet is author interviews which can totally sway me into a book...

What a wonderful film this is. I think Olive is the greatest thing ever. The look on her face as the contest MC sings America right over her head is priceless. I enjoyed all the characters, including the car.

My discomfort with finding errors in books pales next to my detestation of inked in "corrections" on library copies. It's so much more disruptive than the errors themselves! :mad:

Our Mutual Friend - Charles Dickens Sickened - Julie Gregory And I started Capote by Gerald Clarke, a reread after seeing the movie that focused on the In Cold Blood story. That mutual friend ate up the whole month. It was very good, but not so great as Martin Chuzzlewit which was pure...

Thanks, samg. Maybe it's another phrase more commom to the UK and that's the big reason I haven't heard it lately. I too enjoy the skwirl, skwi-rel pronunciation split.

:) And since I'm usually last in the reading line, they'd best not discuss it amongst themselves either! Especially in the case of the final - long awaited ending, I won't want to hear even ONE advance word. Maybe I'd better assert parental rights in this case to avoid potential "tragedy"...
