Noticed you liked Ellen Foster, 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 a southern story about a disturbed young girl (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). Here's a link to a summary (and a sample chapter) in case you'd like to read more before you commit:

Thanks,

I saw your entry about your legal name in The Green Dragon, and thought I would mention President Truman. His legal, proper name is Harry S Truman, because the S does not stand for a name, but it is frequently published as Harry S. Truman, a mistake, but not a major one. Maybe you already knew all that, though.

Is this your Dane? He's just beautiful. I have a blue Dane also. She's three, named Macy and is my pride and joy! I hope to put a picture of her on my Profile soon.

I love your Dane. He looks a lot like my brother's. His is named Peanut. The Dane not my brother.

happy Reading

Thank you so much for the book of Eliot poetry! I really enjoyed reading it during break. And it's such a lovely edition, too! I liked it so much I brought it back to school after break, which considering I try to leave most of my Christmas books at home rather than lug them all halfway across the country and back again, is a sign of its quality. Thanks again, and I hope you had a very pleasant holiday.

P.S. - Sorry it took so long to get this note to you. I do all my Christmas thank-yous in one sitting, which inevitably gets put off for as long as possible.

I'm so glad you like the books! I really really hope you like the Pratchett-- his Discworld series is the most famous, but I couldn't figure out a good way to get you started in the series (I was hoping for a paperback collection of the first 3 books or so but couldn't find one). I know Discworld best (where Death rides a horse named Binky), and they're hugely entertaining. I hadn't heard of the other novel, either, but it sounded good. I truly hope you enjoy them and have a great holiday / break season!

Thanks for the book advice drsol! I will let you know what I think of The Historian and Jacob I Have Loved.

Now, to just find the time! The other day I thought my appendix was hurting. I got all excited because maybe I would have to have surgery and I could lay around and read for a week or two. It turns out the pain was on the wrong side. Oh, well, back to work :)

I see we have a lot of books in common, and they are some of my favorites! The Book Thief, Lamb, and The Time Traveler's Wife to name a few.

And here I thought even those gentle pics of Peter would scare everyone. Good to know there are some who don't want girly men. : ) Steele is one of my only 'adult' crushes. Never saw them live, but own a bunch of CDs and listen regularly. Cool that you have a signed one. They're on tour in the northeast US in October. Halloween is so their time.

You mentioned Hugh Laurie: Have you seen BBC's
"A Bit of Fry and Laurie"? (Alas, not on our tv any more but can find some on YouTube, or buy) Esta1923

Your dog is lovely! :o) My dog's best non-human playmate is a Great Dane named Honey. They can romp for hours. Whenever Honey gets loose she runs right over here and I only realize it when I see her loooooooong face, which is practically eye level with mine, looking in my back door.

I had to wear a name tag tonight, but it didn't have the "Hello, my name is" and in fact was supposed to be a life saving fund raising event, so I didn't have the nerve to write that. :)

I love it!

I have been interested in rescuing a Great Dane but someone told me they drool. Do they? I love large dogs and dearly miss my dearly departed overly large golden retriever. I can take just about anything in a dog but drooling.

Yes, I was enjoying it, until I had to put it aside to catch up on the books I need to read for the book clubs I belong to. It is very funny indeed, but it is also much more poignant than I was expecting it to be. The only other Christopher Moore book I've read is The Stupidest Angel, and it's not really like that at all.
