Mark and I have been discussing the possibility of another group read in November and want your input. We have narrowed it down to two books at this point. "The People of the Book" by Geraldine Brooks and "The Thirteenth Tale" by Diane Setterfield. So chat it up with friends or us and let us know if you are up for it and what you think. Probably the same plan as with "Pillars of the Earth" which seemed to work out perfectly for almost all of us.
Think it over and give one of us a shout.
hugs and looking forward to hearing from you,

We haven't talked in a while. I have been reading about the rise in cases of swine flu in the UK, so I thought I would check to see how you are. I hope you are safe. Here, all is as well as can be expected. Robbie had prostate cancer surgery on July 6. Fortunately the margins were clear, no lymph node involvement, and no cancer outside the prostate capsule. However, Robbie is depressed, so life here has not been quite as idyllic as it might be. Anyway, I hope you are well.

Just wanted to let you know the latest with my trip to your part of the world. We arrive in London on June 28 (Sunday) and will spend a couple of days there. Then we'll head somewhere west. I was thinking perhaps Bath--close to Stonehedge, Salisbury and the Cotswolds, and also the Roman and Jane Austen sites of Bath itself. We have a reservation at a hotel near Heathrow for Saturday, July 4th so we can take an early flight to Italy on the 5th. I think it could work to swing through your area somewhere in there, don't you? If, of course, that schedule works for you. We plan to rent a car once we leave London. As for interests, I'm into almost anything to do with history and literature, and Nina is into the Harry Potter film sites, and my husband and other daughter will follow along. What do you think?

I have never hesitated to recommend this book to people interested in such things. I lent it to my cousin who thought it sounded good. I have never been more shocked by an opinion of a book than when she returned it to me saying that she didn't like it, it was really boring!

Prof Urania stalked off, saying she is giving up on Cather's Lark. Mine just came in, and you were the other person who expressed some interest, but then I saw somewhere you saying you were in France. Are you now back? Are you going to read Lark, so we can discuss it and convince her to discuss it with us?

I see that you have a Room of One's Own photo on your bio page. Recently, I changed one of my 999 categories to "long-time members of my TBR pile," which is basically unread books I've owned for quite sometime. Anyway, yesterday, I was rummaging around in the basement for the really longstanding TBR books and came across A Room of One's Own and will likely be reading that one shortly.
I will have to look through your library and, of course, through your 999 thread.

I wish you and your family a happy new year from the windswept Cornish coast!
My current picture is Kynance cove, which is a little way up the coast from us and particularly pretty.
I'm glad to know you have tracked down a copy of "A Fine of Two Thousand Francs". I have been wanting to read it since I read Giles Mackinnon's biography of Elsa Triolet last year. I was entranced by "The Lives of Elsa Triolet", though I should say that there is very little about her wartime experiences.
On the subject of was have you come across the War Through The Generations Reading Challenge blog http://warthroughthegenerations.wordpres... ? This years theme is WW2 and, while it isn't specifically women and war, my 6 books do fit that category - 2 VMCs and 4 Persephones !

However, I do remember making a Guy Fawkes guy in the garden, having a pet tortoise, and the birth of my little sister Debbie, at home, as was usual back then.
I love the photo that is my avatar because it shows the curtains my mother sewed, and the dear little jacket she knitted. She made all our things, even upholstering chairs.

It is a huge regret of mine that I did not pay attention during my 4 years of French. I did spend many teen years fantasising about being a World War 2 Resistance heroine however - specifically the gorgeous girl on the bike in The Longest Day. Does that count? I LOVE Paris, I love France. I went many times while I lived in Europe. I am stuck in America about which I am deeply ambivalent, but at least I live close to Manhattan, which is almost as good as Paris.
Ah me... I am just leaving the house to go have brunch with someone. Off school for the week. Sometimes I feel really overwhelmed with the books on my beside table, especially because I am not one of those people who just drop them off the side of the bed and move on to the next. I get very involved in plots and places and the one time I was in the South of France I insisted on looking for the hotel from A Wreath for the Enemy. I had my poor husband drive up and down that section of the Corniche while I tried to find a facsimile. That hotel is where I would like to live out my old age, you see...
I joined the group after contacting Christiguc about her Virago list. I am currently about halfway through The Women in the Wall which she recommended to me. Good job she didn't explain the title to me, or I would never have opened it. This is not a spoiler as it is explained on page one. I gulped and put the book aside for a few minutes...
Thank you for contacting me. Did you see that Surviving with Wolves has just been discredited...?

I also had a good time looking at all the titles of books published in 1929. Too bad I don't have a 1929 category in my 999 challenge! However, I saw a lot of mysteries with several that I haven't read yet. I'm going to put some of those in my mysteries category. And seeing The Sound and the Fury on the list may give me the nudge to finally tackle that one! I'll see how I survive some of real "chunksters" in the classics category, first.
Meanwhile--I'm taking quite a bit of "fluff" with me for my week and a half up north since i can't start 999 until January first. If I stay awake until midnight I might start my first book then! And this year I think I'll make it to midnight--thank heaven I have managed to avoid all illnesses this year! Last year I caught absolute every "bug" my students so graciously brought into the studio for me!
We are packed and ready to go--as soon as Hubby can tear himself away from work and come pick me up!

Love the Mug. Where (on what thread?) in the group read for A Room of One's Own going to be? I'd like to check in on it since I just read the book.
I'm taking a packing break because we are leaving for Christmas tomorrow -- when I get my computer set up at the other house I will come back and explore your library.

Julie, it's my birthday and I want to celebrate. I've already got an impromptu dance party going on at the Moss-Freestate maison right now. But why stop there? Let's get the world dancing, dancing for peace, for justice, for gentleness, for love and human kindness. So here's the deal. At exactly 3:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time, I'm going to put on my current favorite dance song "Life in Technicolor" from the Vida la Vida cd by Coldplay. If you have a copy of this song, at exactly 3:00 p.m. est (whatever time that is by your clock), hit the play button and dance away. If you don't have this song, turn on your favorite dance song and dance. Even if you can't stand, dance. Dance in chair, in your bed, if all you can do is wiggle your fingers, dance with them. The song is 2:29 minutes so it won't take much time. At the end, shout YAY for everything that's good in the world. Pass the message on to friends if you like. They don't have to know me; I'd just like to think of millions of people all over the world dancing at the same time for all that is good. It would be the best birthday present ever!!!

No need to fear. I simply had a case of insomnia and a galloping brain. I've had the condition since childhood. My mother gave up on required bedtimes as soon as I learned to read. Occasionally, the insomnia does get really troublesome and prolonged, at which point I have to resort to medication (yuck). I've tried meditation and relaxation exercises. Neither works for me.

I have just skimmed the book thus far. From what I can gather several films have been made about this naughty seventeenth-century nun. I don't have the book with me at the moment. I'm sitting in a coffee shop on Amsterdam St., stuffed with baklava and coffee. When I get a chance, I will send you a list of all the movies made on the topic. I did break down and spent an ungodly amount of money on the book sybille mentioned: The Feminine Middlebrow Novel 1920s to 1950s. It is an interesting book although I think the phenomena Humble describes can be traced back much earlier- at least 300 years. Further, some of the omissions in her bibliography of secondary sources are curious. More later. I must away.

My husband and I have been delinquent in our trip planning but we are now planning on going straight to Oxford from Heathrow and then heading from there the next day to Snowdonia for some hiking. This would put us in Oxford on September 9th. I don't know if you are around then but if so it would be lovely to see you. We may be poor jet-lagged company but it would still be nice to see a friendly face.

Librivox is available world wide. I'm not very computer literate but have worked out my own way of burning CDs and putting audio onto my ipod from Librivox. I'm happy to help if you need it. I've listened to the first three chapters of Age of Innocence and the reader is excellent unlike some I've listened to. Another plus is that it's the same reader for the whole book. I think Edith Wharton lacks Tolstoy and Eliot's wit and humour which made Middlemarch and War & Peace such wonderful books. But I shouldn't judge on just three chapters.

I find your posts very thoughtful and intelligent and
so therefore, after a brief browse through your lovely
library, it was confirmed. Smart lady, small books. Your
life and family are very interesting, too!!
I'll be starting a new job at the local Barnes & Noble
in their Children's section. I see that you have The Higher
Power of Lucky. She's been on my list, among a zillion
others in the YA department.
We also share a love for A. S. Byatt. I've read her Frederica
series twice through. I had the good fortune of meeting on her
Possession tour when I lived in San Francisco.
It's been great fun in the VMC group with wonderful new members
arriving almost daily. It is more than inspiring on many levels!
Hope you're weekend is sunny!!

Maybe I felt that way because of having lived in the middle east. I am always trying to make sense out of why there cannot be more moderate Muslims - or even why moderate Muslims are heard less. Perhaps because they don't make exciting evening news items.
The theme of secularism versus fanatacism in religion pervades most religions. I think that is why Snow particularly appealed to me. I felt that it had a universal theme which struck my concern about the world as a whole. I very much worry about extremism and its implications for mankind. :(

I stayed up very late one night to finish it even though it was a long book. I thought the "snow" part of it was beautiful. I read it as a satire (although there is nothing funny, especially these days) about the struggle between the secular forces and religious forces who are trying to control the Turkish government.
I have this book circulating as a BookCrossing bookray. The book is even in UK now (Leicester, to be exact)! If you want in on it, I'll slip in quickly (before the book leaves the UK). Just let me know.

I am still avoiding W&P, but don't mind a bit of irony, wouldn't want to drop it on my foot though! so I'll be very good next time I post at 1001!
Your reading list for this year is very impressive. I have only read Schlink's The Reader and followed it up later with Homecoming. Both make you think.
It's Homecoming's fault that I'm in the classics. It uses the Odyssey as one of it's structural themes and my previous book the Australian Landscape of Farewell references the Iliad, which encouraged me to pick it up again, but I've diverted myself with The Golden Ass instead.
Good reading!

Sometimes I just think it's better to keep that type of chat smaller and personal. Case in point, one thread I was on went totally out of control on the subject of kids/no kids. I think some folks who started on that thread got a little disgusted and left us.
Just my opinion. Again nice to meet you.
