    Where are you? (in the book you are reading) - please read 1st post

    Been there, done that ...LOL...My favorite was Dead to the World. Now I'm in 17th century China. My feet are bound (ouch!) and I'm waiting to meet the man I am betrothed to. Great thread!

    Out of print books - it's a TRAGEDY!

    How great is this....there was a book that was out of print that I really wanted to read for a couple of years now. I couldn't remember the exact title, so I went on eBay to look it up. I had previously looked on the eBay for the book, but it was too expensive for me to buy - over a $100. Well...

    November 2009: E.L. Doctorow: Homer and Langley

    I think it was their eccentric ways that captured people's imaginations. Also, the way they felt they could buck the system, i.e., live w/o the water company or electric company. I found Langley to be funny when he wasn't trying. One example I remember is when they were discussing TV and...

    November 2009: E.L. Doctorow: Homer and Langley

    SPOILERS AHEAD - DON'T READ IF YOU HAVEN'T FINISHED THE BOOK It's interesting that you say this because I was just looking up the author's name (I forgot it) and found that this is actually based on a true story! I'm from NY :D maybe that's why I'm surprised it was based on fact. There were...

    November 2009: E.L. Doctorow: Homer and Langley

    I don't use that library, but I know someone had the copy I took out of the library on hold, b/c I had to get it back in 7 days. It's probably not a bad idea to take this into consideration when choosing books for future BOM choices. I don't mind buying a paperback, but very rarely will I...

    November 2009: E.L. Doctorow: Homer and Langley

    I read it. I enjoyed it quite a bit. It was right up my alley. It was in New York and started at the turn of the last century.

    October 2009: Peter Blatty: The Exorcist

    Gee I read this book years ago. I wish I knew about the Book of the Month earlier, I would have re-read it with you all. I think I was around 14 years old when I read it. What I remember was being home alone and reading the book and being quite terrified. While I was reading the book, a...

    Hi, another newbie here

    Hi All, I just found this site, it looks like a good one for finding suggestions for books and authors. I'm always looking for new authors to try. I like detective novels and murder mysteries. I like the ones that focus on solving the mystery rather than the ones with all the gore...
