About me"Like all those possessing a library, Aurelian was aware that he was guilty of not knowing his in its entirety." Jorge Luis Borges
"Reading was my escape and my comfort, my consolation, my stimulant of choice: reading for the pure pleasure of it, for the beautiful stillness that surrounds you when you hear an author's words reverberating in your head." From "The Brooklyn Follies" by Paul Auster
Voracious reader, music lover, movie watcher, daydreamer!

Hello friend from FB whom I first met on LT! Just a wave hello and a question about
GoodReads. I see that you have most of your library on GR. Were you
able to export this library or did you enter as you go. I'm new on GR and still figuring
things out. I'm not sure if I'm up to re-entering my library though, it might
be a good inventory exercise as I've noticed that some of my volumes have gone missing!
Hope you had a great weekend!

I haven't talked with you in a while, so I thought I'd pop in and say hi. I see you changed your picture...nice monkey you got there! Is Kruger far from where you live?
Do you have any good reads to suggest? I have hit a slump of mediocre books.
Thanks. :)

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. Saw you liked Butcher Boy, and I thought you might like my novel since it's also about a disturbed adolescent and a bit dark. I could e-mail you the novel in an e-book format if you'd like. Let me know if you're interested. Here's a link to a summary in case you're interested:

I kept meaning to check the Virago Secret Santa opening thread to make sure your present eventually arrived, but only just remembered to look at it today. I'm glad you liked the book, just sorry that it took so long to get to you!

I wanted to thank you again for your thoughts on The Good Doctor. My group read and discussed it earlier this month and to rave reviews! I thoroughly enjoyed it. I even had a drop-in attendee that had read it years ago and hadn't had an opportunity to discuss it so was glad to share her thoughts. I provided some background information on the area and time that it was set which enriched the discussion. It was a very satisfying read. By all means if you come across something that would be good for a group discussion, let me know! You have way more books and do wayyyy more reading than I do!
Thanks a bunch,
Cheers,
Clamato
