About my libraryI have paperbacks so old the price was 0.25 (although I grabbed those from used bookstores).

I got hooked on westerns while in the Navy in Japan, where the base library was fairly small. I bought Time-Life and Newsweek series while on Kwajalein, where entertainment options were limited. If I like an author, I get compulsive about owning all of his/her work.

Came across your library. I am always looking for interesting library's for my threads. You may be interested in joining one or more.

Looking forward to seeing you in one of my threads.
Hi Linkmeister:

Thanks for the probability about the "zero favorites.
I also suspected the same as you about them. I was just wondering if it was some technical difficulty.
Hi Linkmeister:

Glad to see Aiea is listed as your favorite library. I used to go there fairly often, but itʻs a little hard for a pedestrian like me to reach.

My older son lives in Aiea, myself in Waiʻanae. My favorite libraries are Waiʻanae, Kaimuki, and the Main Library. Some use also of Aiea, Pearl City, Waikiki, Waipahu, Hamilton Library, and McCully. The local libraries I

I recently acquired "Ben: a Memoir..." that is on your "Most recent ac tivity" list. At a book signing, one of the few Iʻve ever gone too. Also acquired [Hawaiian Blood] by [J. Kehaunui Kaualani]. I tried to put it on my list of books. I donʻt know what I did differently from the 3 books I have so far listed, but "Hawaiian Blood" didnʻt make it onto the list.

I donʻt really know how to enter anything into "Your Books" (or into Favorites, either, but the same to be the case with many others. Or are there really that many people who have "zero" favorites?)

Well, we miss you, but I understand completely.
Just drop in once in a while...
:o)
Where have you been?
By the way, how is the minor league baseball in Hawaii? Think Blue, Floyd
Hello Steve, this is Floyd of Burbank. I am glad to see someone who has both Roger Angell and Joseph Mitchell in their library. They are among the best magazine journalists America has ever had- maybe the best. Angell is the Shakespeare of baseball literature. Think Blue, Floyd
Aloha Steve,
Thanks for the friendship. I look forward to checking out your books and hope you enjoy mine.
All the best,
Lisa
Thanks! Both for another way to get Mirror Dance and also for the compilation advice for Winterfair Gifts. She's such a good author in that each book can be read standalone or out of order without me feeling like I've hugely missed out. (It wasn't ideal but was the way I was stuck with).
But I'd still like to find and read those stories. Cheers and good luck with you finding your copies too, ryn
I saw your post about discovering Lois McMaster Bujold and buying everything. It was the same for me (I've tagged all her books as LT-inspired as I only learnt about her through LT in the first place.)
Can I ask how you tracked down Mirror Dance? I can't find it for sale for love or money. (Am in Australia)

Cheers, ryn
I saw your posts to the blogging group. Dodger thoughts must be the blog you mentioned to me your last email. Got me looking it over. Thanks. We do have quite a few Mariners blogs up here -- one of the best is run by a Tacoma newspaper. Can't wait for the season to start, although we don't hold out too much hope again this year. We had 116 wins six years ago and struggle to get 70 these days.
Many, many thanks for adding the Vin Scully audio clip to my blog. It sounded wonderful to hear all those names and a FULL inning from 42 years ago. (On a documentary I'd expect to hear only a "highlight" clip of the last pitch. An entire inning of Sandy Koufax was great!) I see all the comments to old blogs eventually, but it was nice to get your note and know who to thank.

Are you a baseball fan? What team?

I see we share 90 titles, including Shackleton (my favorite survivor book) and several Asimov, Tolkien, Rowling, and David McCullough titles. I recently posted a blog on '1776' after inexplicably leaving it on my read stack for two years. Hope to hear from you again.
I notice we share Frank Rich and Michael Isikoff's books on The Administration. I read Rich's first, and am reading Isikoff's now (both unabridged audio). The former lets you know how bad things are; the latter that, actually, they're even worse!
Thanks for the welcome!
Thank-you. Yes, Maui. Maui was quite the talker when we drove home with him. Then he became a high-pitched squeaker after he was given his name. And now he is as large as an island.
Hello Steve

There is an additional way to search the blog now, see here.

It doesn't seem to find what's written in the comments to the blog entries, though.

Best wishes :-) sunny
My highest rated western is Honor Thy Father by Robert A. Roripaugh. This is a sleeper.
THANKS!!! You saved me from utter frustration. . . I really don't know how to type (and making corrections in small space was hard), but I DID review McKay's Bees by Thomas McMahon, and hope to do others that deserve attention. Esta1923
Thanks for the Linkage help. Checked your LT out. I'm so jealous!! I want to shop at Shakespeare & Co! And I'm too cheap to buy The Highly Selective Thesaurus, and it's been on my wish list FOREVER! So..is the thesaurus good? Is it worth it? Or is it just a cleverly titled plain old thesaurus? Saw in the Bas Bleu catalog and not the store, so I can't tell.
You're right -
LT was Particle'd last September over on ML, and it was discussed on Open Thread 49. (Where we both appear in comments....)

Now that you remind me, I did check out LT at the time, but I scoffed at the "Catalog 200 books for free" limit. And then I forgot all about it until the WSJ article about a month ago. NOW LT strikes me as a "so this is why they invented the Internet" sort of application.
Hello, Linkmeister! It's a small internet, isn't it - I recognize your name from Making Light, where I post under my real name (DD-972). I just discovered LT this month, and it's interesting how many names one recognizes from around the blogs.
HI - I havent tagged all my westerns yet - but I think you have a slightly larger collection than mine. I do appear to have you beat on the Overholsers though - unless I missed a page, I see a serious lack of Overholsers in your library. ;-)
Ordeal By Hunger - not so astonishing - it's a classic for a reason. I think it's a terrific book.
Steve,

Fascinating!

As it turns out, I actually own a copy of the Barings-Gould book. I had forgotten this information was in there.

It's somewhat embarassing to discover that other people know my library better than I do ;-)

I hope you'll enjoy them, if you do! They were quite a hit with my family and friends - as clearly (from the reappearances) they were with Wolfe's brood. :)

I've really enjoyed looking at Merely a Genius, and have been meaning to get a comment to you, to that effect! Love the reading list...!
Grins. My omelet skills leave a little to be desired. I looked at the fritters recipe, and that doesn't look too tricky. We get good fresh corn out here; maybe I'll give it a shot.
(laughs)

I'll look forward to seeing them posted, then!

I've never tried the omelet - nor read the bio. - though I was certainly intrigued by the former. Are they good?
I've tried the hedgehog omelet, with mixed results.

Believe me, I've got Wolfe books coming out my ears, but they're in the back rows of two double-stacked shelves. They're coming.
As to the ancient paperbacks - I've got 'em, too. Though more at $0.30 and $0.35! I was curious about who else had The Nero Wolfe Cookbook, and was surprised to find it in a library which is, so far, sans any actual Wolfe mysteries!

I saw The List of Adrian Messenger among your books, though. - I never read it, but used to love the film (1963?) with Kirk Douglas. So odd.

Have you made any of Fritz and Wolfe's recipes? The corn fritters are marvellous, if you're deft enough at frying.
