Hi,

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:

Hi, I just joined this site. I noticed that you're a poetry fan. Have you read Unexpected Light? Here's a link: http://www.cechaffin.com

Is your copy of Enter Laughing the play (by Joseph Stein) or the novel (by Carl Reiner)?

Some people have the play listed as Reiner and I'm trying to fix the listings.

Are the Amy Hempel and Lost plots books still available? If so I would love them - k00kaburra on Bookmooch.

Hi to katbook from KatsBooks! Similar names, but we only share 127 books.

My goodness, we share 32 books. But since you have more than 6,000 in your LibraryThing library, I guess that's not so many. I was intrigued that of the ones we share half would be expected but half are fairly off beat ones. Are you a librarian, teacher, or writer? Martha Huntley

I was adding Sphinx to my library, when I noticed you were the only other person on this site to have it as well. And The Time of Our Singing! How did you like that book? I picked it up a few weeks ago.

Thanks for talking about Charlie Wilson's War over in the Spies group. It looks really good.

I just love that you have the Grandiloquent Dictionary.

That's all. :)

Hello, Kathy. Just wanted to register that I am jealous of your Stephen Graham title: Tramping With a Poet in the Rockies, " - Graham's account of hanging out with fellow author/Englishman, Wilfrid Ewart, shortly before the latter's death in Mexico. Did you come to the title through Javier Marias's Dark Back of Time? If not, then you are in for a treat! Grab the book.

oh, how I envy you for the possibility to buy books for such great prices- I'm currently living in a German speaking country, and it's just not the same- most of the book stores in my area hold a very limited supply of English books, and it's usually for crazy prices. And about the unread-books- I always buy more books than I can read, and then I feel bad about mixing them on the bookshelf with the other ones- I feel like i'm cheating...but I just can't seem to stop!

Hi there,I hope this isn't too much of a "beginners" question, but i'm curios about your tags- what does R and UR stand for?

Hi! We share Days of Fun. Is this your book from school? I learned to read with my mother using this book. It belonged to one of my older sisters, and my mother and I read from it before I started kindergarten in California. I remember being really impressed that she knew which words I had trouble with, even though she wasn't near me while I read--it was only later that I realized that anyone could have guessed which word(s) came next in the sentence!

I'm intrigued by the fact that we share "Black Lamb/Grey Falcon", "The Color of Water" and "The River Why".

Hey there Kathy, glad you joined the Spies group. There are more books by [[Arnaldur Indriðason]] coming out, or already out, according to Amazon. The next title, I think, is [Silence of the Grave]. I'll probablypick it up, too. -- Bill
