Noticed you liked Girl Interrupted, and I was wondering if you'd be interested in reviewing my new novel and posting your comments here as well as a few other book-related sites. Thought you might like my book since it's also about a disturbed young girl's mental illness and also a bit dark. I could e-mail you the novel in an e-book format if you'd like (I'm out of physical copies at the moment). Let me know if you're interested. Here's a link to a summary in case you're interested:

Dear Beverly

Some time you wrote to me about your violin asking for information, and I am sure by now you are convinced that I have forgotten all about you. I can assure you that I have not. As soon as I saw this information I realised that I must contact you right away, which indeed I have, so here are my findings.

I have found a performance on YOUTUBE of violinist MarekPavelecusing a Ferdinand August Homolka made in 1830 he plays Lalo's Symphonie Espagnole.

Here are the links which I am sure you will want to follow.

If your violin sounds as well as this one you are indeed fortunate, as it is not always the value or even the name, but the sound that is most important. I have several friends who either won the Paganini Competition or were placed in the first three, who would not want to perform a concerto on Paganini's Il Cannone, own it, now that is a different matter entirely. I myself, have seen Il Connone in Genoa.

I would be interested to hear your comments of the performance and you comparsions of the two violins.

Musical regards,

Cheniston

PS please reply to violinland@talktalk.net

You will then become one of my violin contacts. You could also Skype me that would be fun.

Yes, I have read water for elephants. (I know you asked me like five months ago, but...) I"m right now in the middle of Future Pres. Obama's book and just starting Suite Fracncaise. Any suggestions would be welcome. Dont be fooled by the Obama thing, I'm acually a conservative, but I like Barack. look forward to some recomendations!

Thanks for the welcome! I am still slowly in the process of entering all my books. I think I'm probably about two-thirds done now though. I definitely need some additional bookshelves.... :)

Thanks for the invite. I've just started using LT, not really to keep up with all of my books--impossible task--but to have some place to keep a reading log with pictures of the books.

SnoopingBunny, If you are a baseball / history fan, let me highly recommend "Playing with the Enemy: A Baseball Prodigy, a World at War, and a Field of Broken Dreams," by Gary Moore (www.playingwiththeenemy.com). It is the true story about his dad, who was drafted at 15 by the Dodgers. His life thereafter has to be read to be believed. It is going to be a major motion picture, filming set nextr year. Have some kleenex handy. It is not a come-from-behind homerun in the bottom of the last inning sort of book. tps

Ooh, I can't wait to see what other ENFP's read! Seems we ENFP's are rare birds, nice to meet another, and a fellow bibliophile to boot. Interesting we don't share any books, I'm think that means I'll make some great new "gotta have" finds within your collection and maybe you in mine. Thanks for saying hello.

Lamb is an incredible book. Actually, I have yet to have read something by Christopher Moore that I haven't loved. I am in the middle of Bloodsucking Fiends right now. Recently I have been switching back and forth between Donleavy and Moore. Let me know what you think of Lamb.

Beverly, thanks for joining our book club group.

Please feel free to join us in the conversations, because regardless of whether you're in a book club or not, it's great to share thoughts with others who love books - and it's a great way to meet new friends.

Cheers,
Jen

Hello to all

I have been away from Library thing for a short time but, now I am back.

Thank you for contacting me.

Check out my Library Thing profile if you have the time.

I have two books that I wrote that I have placed into my library thing catalog. If you have the time look them over and drop me a line or two.

With respect,

My mid-east recommendations pretty much start with the dummies guides. Actually, any recommendation that starts from total ignorance starts from the dummies guides. Pretty much everything I know about the subject comes from taking a class on it a year or so back. Let me see if I can dig up some (as yet non-cataloged) textbooks for you...

How was Prep, BTW? I've been looking at it off and on for a while now...

Hi SnoopingBunny, thanks for your comment. Yes, we do share some locations! I lived in Petersburg, Virginia for a couple of years and then in Knoxville, Tennessee. You mentioned living in Columbus, Ohio for awhile - did you go to Ohio State? I like Anne Rivers Siddons, especially her older books. I have several of Dorothea Benton Frank's books but haven't read them yet. Same with Doctorow - I've only read The March. What other southern authors do you read?

I LOVE Chuck Pahlinuk's stuff. If you liked fugitives & refugees try "Stranger than Fiction" it's along the same lines, but not focused in one particular area like Portland.

I will check out the books you recommended. I loved Cold Mountain, but I thought it got off to a slow start, I didn't know if I could stick it out, but in the end I was so glad I did!

Talk to you later.

Thanks for your nice comment SnoopingBunny, you’ve some fine books yourself.

I see you have “My Antonia”, I’ve been thinking of buying this since reading “The Professor’s House”, which I loved. It’s a sad nostalgic view of a professor's last years, in his beloved home (a bit of an inapposite middle section though).

Parochial English bloke was about to ask where NC was, but from your books I assume it is North Carolina. I think I have actually flown out of Charlotte, but only when Roanoke was fogged in, if indeed these two places are vaguely coincident

Oh man. That book was amazing! And I still think about those characters too! That story really stuck with me, especially because of the ending which was so unexpected. I really, really hope Amanda Boyden is writing another book.

I love that picture, too. It gives my 6-year-old daughter the willies.
