A lot of international people are dropping out of BM (especially Canadians) and I can't say I'm surprised. It's the logical result of decisions made by a single person who read one magazine article. I've reduced my involvement and am having friends and relatives haul along books for me whenever they visit from Germany. Anyway, LT is the more valuable resource.
I'm sorry you didn't like Dreaming in Chinese. I'm planning to read it as soon as I run down a copy.

Thanks for adding my library to your list of interesting ones. I believe we've made some Book Mooches in the past.

Grappig dat we allebei ook op librarything zitten! Ik zie dat we zelfs 80 boeken hetzelfde hebben, terwijl ik er pas 400 en nog wat heb ingevoerd. Met je mening over De Tuinen van Niemandsland ben ik het wel eens. Ik vond het qua verbeelding en thema's erg mooi, maar de uitwerking en stijl liet voor mij te wensen over. Toch heb ik er ook geen spijt van het te hebben gelezen. Tot later misschien, op bookmooch of librarything!
