"I made Reed City Boy my bedtime book ... I started reading and just kept reading ... After the first couple nights I started bringing it into the kitchen during the day so I could read while I was having lunch, and also at dinner ... [Flows] with an easy grace, a fine ear for the rhythm of the language ... It was the voice of a friend sitting across the table, telling his story to me, laughing at himself from time to time ... The easy intimacy between friends. That's the writing voice here. And it's perfect for this book. Perfect ... I now have [Bazzett's] Soldier Boy on my bedside table."
Molly Gloss
award-winning author of the bestselling novel, Hearts of Horses,
and the perennial favorite, The Jump-Off Creek
Hope you'll take a look at my website, RatholeBooks.com. In meantime keep reading. - Tim

Thanks for adding me to your 'interesting libraries.' I see from perusing your collection that we share an affinity for excellent books on history, religious diversity, and classic literature. Additionally, if you either have any recommendations of excellent books you have read, or see a book or two in my collection you would like to borrow, please let me know.
I am glad to loan a book or two to fellow book lovers who will handle the books with care and return them to me in original condition in about a month.
Thanks and best wishes,

Thanks for adding me as an interesting library. You have a remarkably wide range of books -- I'm impressed. We only share 51 books now, but I'm sure as I continue to get them entered (I think I have somewhere in the range of 7,000) we'll share more. Would love to read your reviews.

So very wonderful of you to add me to your "interesting libraries list". What did strike you as interesting enough to do so? I'm always curious to find out what other memories find delighful about my meager stacks. *grin*
As for Your Library, I find the awesome list of your authors most impressive- what a well-rounded collection! It's also a big plus that we share 140 fascinating tomes as well! What are your most admired of them? Personally, I am a hugely well-known fan of anything jotted down by Neil Gaiman, Tolkien, Lewis Carroll, Nabokov, T.H. White, Umberto Eco, Jasper FForde, Kafka, Madeleine L'Engle.... I LOVE that you have "A Passion for Books" by Harold Rabinowitz!!! What an enchantingly engrossing book! I simply couldn't put it down! There are several in your list I've just read this year, so I'd like to get your take on them as well:
What did you think of: The Historian, Good Omens, Japanese Art, Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell, Inkheart, Lost In A Good Book, The Name of the Rose, Prep, Ethan Frome, The Golden Compass & Smilla's Sense of Snow? I read them all this year and am always interested on other user's takes on them. LOL. Sorry to make such a long list, you just seem like a very knowledgable reader. *grin*
OK enough rambling markings on your page! I am off to delve headfirst down the rabbithole of my cataloguing project.
Much bliss,

I have added your name to my interesting file. I am new at LT so I am still exploring. You popped up as having several authors and books in common with my list. Nice collection.
