A human being is like a television set with millions of channels. If we turn on sorrow, we are sorrow. If we turn on a smile, we are the smile. We cannot let one channel dominate us. We have the seed of everything in us and we have to seize the situation at hand, to recover our power. We need to change the channel once in a while!

Hi
I am currently reading Sweetness at the Bottom of the Pie and read your review.

As one who loves the artistry of the Pre Raphaelites, I'm smiling at your name. Lizzy Siddal was quite an interesting person!
I have never finished a book by Rushdie - started, yes, but all abandoned. Good luck with the book group
Alone in Berlin is quite a substantial read and is taking me a long time - I started it on Tuesday and am still only about a third of the way through it. What will happen to my reviews?!? I'll have to post an interim message tomorrow on www.acommonreader.org.uk
You've added Alone in Berlin? Amazing - I've just acquired it too.
With some effort- I found [Dr. Glas] at my local library. I really appreciate the recommedation.

LizzySiddal-
thank you for your recommendation!

Hello LizzySiddal-
I'm interested in many books in your library.
Among other things, I am a Mankell reader.
I'm so particular about what kinds of mysteries I read- I have a low tolerance for bad writing- and Mankell writes well.
Do you have some other suggestions?
I don't know anything about Maj Sowall, but now will look for books, after seeing them on your site.
Hi Lizzie

Thanks so much for leading me to your 'themoorethemerrier' site. I love it ! I keep trying to drag myself away from his books and then capitulating and devouring 'just one more'. He hooked me with 'The Magician's Wife' and now I've literally just finished 'I am Mary Dunne' and your review was spot on. Now I'm dying to see your review of 'The Great Victorian Collection'...

Hi, Lizzy. Nice to find another BGO type here!
Welcome to Books Compared. You write great reviews, and I hope you'll favor us with a comparison review soon. Theodor Storm's Der Schimmelreiter helped me improve my reading skills in German, not least because it's such a wonderful story I couldn't bear to stop struggling my way through the unfamiliar vocabulary. By mid-story, my reading skills were much improved. I've been meaning to read more Storm, and have put Immensee on my to-be-read list.
Hi 'Lizzy' - I guess you are also a fan of the Pre-Raphaelites - haven't checked if you have the recent biog of LS. Anyway, I've just plugged in 99 books and find you have 28 in common, and you are a fellow Folio collector - I'm a lapsed member at the moment but wavering. I've been a member on and off for almost 25 years. Nice to see fellow bookaholics around.
Kind regards
