About meI have two children, a girl and a boy, and love reading and buying books. I also love walking my dog and I have a passion for shoes. I live in Surrey and I work from home as a book-keeper. The picture is of my dog (my baby) Billy.
About my libraryI have varied tastes and will read more or less everything. I'm not too keen on romance or chick lit and I dislike mis lit. I love to read children's books as well. My librarything consists of books I/my daughter owns and books from the library.

Lovely to 'meet' you! I think I have a way to go before I get as many books in my library as you do. Unfortunately the years and several house moves have lead to a 'cull' some time ago but I am now working my way back up!
I did notice your library before and added it as an 'interesting' one. I noticed our similar taste, especially the variety in sci-fi, classics and the Coelho books which I have enjoyed.
I haven't got around to reading the JG Ballard books yet though.
Lovely dog by the way!

As you've chosen one of your favourites, I'll do the same. Not only one of my all-time favourite authors, but what I regard as possibly his best book:
A Month In The Country, by J.L.Carr
If you like it even half as much as did, you will love it. Hope so!

I had so much trouble deciding on a book for you - there are so many that I think you will like; however, I eventually decided on 'Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistlestop Cafe' by Fannie Flagg, who is one of your listed favourite authors and a book I very much enjoyed at the time.

For the 2009 Librarything challenge I would like you to read Fup by Jim Dodge. I read this a couple of years ago and would love to re-read it. Don't forget to give me a shout.

Thanks for my challenge - The Beach by Alex Garland. I'm looking forward to reading it!
My challenge to you is for you to read The House of the Spirits by Isabel Allende. It's one I haven't read either, so am looking forward to comparing notes!

I would like to choose The Wild Palms by William Faulkner for your challenge. It is a book my brother recommended I try, and I will aim to read it as well.

I saw that you are reading The Almost Moon. I'd be very interested to know what you think after you've finished. I reviewed the book earlier this year (don't read if you don't want to be influenced in your continued reading). Anyway, I also have two kids - a boy and a girl. No pets as of yet, but soon! I'm definitely going to peruse your library, as it seems we have common tastes.

I have finished "The Gargoyle" and loved it. I was worried that the end might disappoint but no!
Now setting off on my top 2 nudged books - "Ella Minnow Pea, which I see you have too, is both charming and clever. Then I set off on your nudge "We Have Always Lived In The Castle."
And I see you have added "Little Boy Lost", which I thought was lovely, if a touch sentimental. The conclusion is unexpected but perfect. Did you know, I wonder, that there is a Persephone group on LibraryThing ... ?
Jane
p.s. I'm looking forward to seeing your pile of books for nudging!
posted by FleurFisher at 4:13 pm (EST) on Nov 8, 2008
"We Have Always Lived In The Castle" is one of those books I never came across(the downside of living in a rural area) but I kept seeing on LibraryThing.So I ordered up a copy and now it is in my hands I am so glad I did. It looks wonderful and it's lovely to have another positive report.
Do come and join the Book Nudgers and move it up my TBR pile!
I have been admiring your pug book - my border terrier has a very cute pug friend!
Jane
p.s. Before today I never met another finance person on LibraryThing but now you are my second - I am an accountant.

Just saw on a post that you're reading Astrid and Veronika and got very excited because I read it earlier this year and found it to be very special. Hope you do, too!

It would be great if you get a chance to read The Magic Lands :) I look forward to talking to you about the story!

I challenge you to read The Almost Moon by Alice Sebold because it's one I'd like to read myself. Reading by proxy!

Great choice. I bought it quite recently and it looks good.
I'm challenging you to read The Lizard Cage by Karen Connelly. Along with The Road, this was far and away the best book I read last year. It looks like you rated The Road as much as me and so I will be interested to see what you think of this. I hope it is ok.

Not a problem, you know you could have got away with reading that one as an easy read!
Alternative choice The other side MArian Keyes (I know that's over 20 pages cos I have it!)
