Noticed you liked Clockwork Orange, 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 group of violent kids (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 (and a sample chapter) in case you'd like to read more about the book before you commit:

Have you read the Thirteenth Tale by Diane Setterfield? If you like a bit of mystery/gothic tale in your fiction, although it's contemporary, you might like this it. The entire book is really about the love of books themselves, especially fiction.

That's what I meant! Yes, he's certainly of drinking age so if he doesn't know it I'll recommend it!

I think/hope this link should take you to the right thread for instructions on how to post from flickr (you have to start off by opening an account with either flickr or photobucket) and you'll find another link on that page for if you want to use photobucket.

I don't often speak to my nephew (no dark family feuds or anything like that - just different generations) but if I do I'll ask him about The Old Toad. How big is Rochester? Is it at all likely?

Good luck with the photos, links etc. I'm very fond of the tapir but he is there mainly because there wasn't a sloth!

Following up on our 'how to' conversation - If you can find your way to the 'LTers with dogs' group, you should find a thread on there that gives full instructiins on how to post pics. I wish I could explain it to you but I can't remember myself without having the instructions in front of me. If you have trouble finding it, though, let me know and I'll cut and paste the instructions to you. Hope you're having a good time here!

(And you're right, I did know about hyperlinks, but not what they were called. I do mine by cutting and pasting the page address but lots of people link with a word or description (eg 'Link here') I don't know whether they are just doing what I do they substituting their words for the address (though surely that wouldn't work, would it?) but I'm not brave enough to try for fear of losing the rest of my (usually far too long) messages!

Hey! My nephew lives in Rochester, NY! (It's okay - I'm not going to ask you if you know him.)

I have lived there for a long time now-I love it, has some great restaurants and cafe's. ..but Alas, no bookstores! One had opened, privately owned,a few years back...lasted for 6 mos...oh well, I guess people in Astoria don't read-LOL or prefer Barnes & Noble, Borders etc.

I am in Astoria, Queens--20 mins from Manhattan. Reasonable rents {I have a Rent controlled Apt}and very close to the city. The best of both worlds.

Hey David-
Forgot to say--Add me as a friend if you'd like.

Thanks Tony. I will also try to add books I've read in the past, though I don't think my memory is good enough to go back to my childhood! Where the Wild Things Are does come to mind, though.

Thanks-I feel the same--Keep at it, and enter as much as you can. I wrote all my books down at first and then I started to remember books that I have read in the past, even my childhood-LOL-don't laugh, I recently added THE LITTLE TRAIN THAT COULD....Good luck!!
