Jagmuse,

I was about to add a book to my BookMooch wishlist (The Mirror by Marlys Millhiser) and I recognized your name on the list of others with it on their wishlist. I've held off wishlisting it for now as my feelings of delight and abundance at the number of unread books in my house is morphing into a sense of obligation to get them read.

You have a lot of interesting books in your library - I like David Mitchell enormously, but have only liked "A Walk in the Woods" by Bill Bryson - his others haven't done anything for me.

If you like Douglas Adams, have you tried Jasper Fforde?

Holy snap!!! Can you believe I forgot about it??? I'll finish it up and send it right away (I was in a move and actually managed to stall out a bookring, too). I haven't even been on this site in weeks! I am so, so sorry.

Thanks to you for bringing the ecolibris issue to my attention! I am definitely going to email John with a summary of my comments and point him to that discussion thread. Bookmooch is a very trusted "brand" now, so I think he needs to tread carefully when selecting worthy "causes" for us to contribute to. Thanks!

No problem! I figure if I read 5 pages a day, I'll be done is just over 2 weeks. Small doses are the key, here! :)

Thanks so much for my SantaThing books! The books look great and I can't wait to dive into them.

Happy Holidays,

LOL, we should each raise a Pan-Galactic Gargle Blaster and say, 'Here's to Douglas Adams!' ;)

Greetings to another person who has listed Douglas Adams as a favorite author. "Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" rocks! :)

Thanks for the 'interesting library' compliment, Jagmuse. I get a big kick out of other people's tags. Will enjoy looking at your readings.

We share many books in common, some of these my favorites: Ishiguro,Mitchell, Bulgakov, de Bernieres, Perez-Reverte, Gunn as well as the classics. Have you read Ghosh's The Shadow Lines. It is so-o much better than In An Antique Land. One of my all time favorites. I highly recommend it. Also if you like Scottish fiction, read Lewis Grassic Gibbon's A Scot's Quair: Sunset Song, Cloud Howe, and Grey Granite (a trilogy).

Here's to great books and wonderful reading,
