About my libraryI live in Papua New Guinea with very limited and expensive Internet access so, my library is on hold until I return to a land where this is not so.

Hi John,
Thanks for your message on my LT page but you did already solve the problem for me, remember>?!

Hi Arukiyomi,
I am very happy with the spreadsheet but I can't, for example, sort by author. I need a password to do that. Can you help me out? I did pay for the spreadsheet by PayPal.
I hope to hear from you!

I would be more than happy to send it to you. I trust you understand that genres are subjective to some degree. Also, you may want to know that I have not done the genres for the 230 or so books that I have already read. I have this information on an excel spreadsheet. Would you like for me to send it to your email address listed above?

Thanks!! I went out and bought the 2006 issue today so I'll compare them

Hello, I just bought a book from the Book Depository that you might find interesting: The White Mary, by Kira Salak. It's not often that I come across a book set in Papua New Guinea, so when I do, I always snap them up. I probably won't read it for a while so I can't comment on its quality, but I thought I'd point it out to you in case you want to add it to your wishlist.

I didn't realize that you had created the spreadsheet! I bought the mid-range one today, and donated five pounds. Great work!

Thanks! It's very similar to the spreadsheet I keep myself. Are the non-lite versions worth buying?

I just read your review of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" which I purchased today and it's making me antsy to read it. It's making me no longer question my purchase! :)

Hey, I liked your review of Bel Ami, especially this part:

I wondered if he was asking, so what if you’re immoral, there’s no judgement anyway. Let’s assume there isn’t, does that justify immorality anyway?

I picked up that book on a whim at some sale or another and haven't read it yet. You've piqued my interest, so thanks for that!

Hey, there! I doubt my blog draws the kind of crowd you're looking for, but I'd be willing to review your v. 4 spreadsheet. I'll still give a small donation since my blog is also..small...I just like getting things early :)

I enjoyed reading the posts on the Wind-Up Bird Chronicle thread. You're right, it's not a book for cat (or skin) lovers.

I was hoping you might drop by the Le Salon thread “Alex Austin: Underappreciated Author” The thread has been up about three weeks and I think the accumulated inteview should be intriguing to anyone interested in books and the writing process. I also make a few comments on Murakami. The URL is http://www.librarything.com/topic/82398
