Random books from lesezeichen's library

About me Hi everybody, I have come here via the bookcrossing forums and this seems to be a real addictive site, too... I am from Germany, and working in the export business, reading is *only* a hobby...

About my library I am really into British classics and I also like mysteries, too. But I'm ready to give nearly anything a try... As a former student of French and Spanish literature, you will also find a few books in these languages...

Bonjour, Non je ne connaissais pas le site de Jane Austen. Merci de me l'avoir indiqué ! Cela élargit mon horizon...

Contente que [Un garçon convenable] vous ai plu. Et si en plus vous aimez Barbara Kingsolver...:) Je vous conseille aussi [The Poisonwood Bible] de cette auteur.

Vous allez me faire découvrir d'autres bonheurs canadiens. Je ne connaissais pas Marie Gagnier, mais je vais certes l'ajouter à ma liste de lectures. Merci!

Ah, Ah ! Une spécialiste de Trollope... Peut-être va-t-elle pouvoir me conseiller sur le meilleur Trollope à lire pour commencer ? Est-ce Barchester Towers ?

Alors là, une telle aisance! Tu es forcément française! J'ai été fureter dans ta bibliothèque, et c'est très sympa, éclectique, ouvert, international ; cet après-midi, j'ai acheté un A. Trollope que je vais donc découvrir, et noté plusieurs livres dont tes commentaires m'ont mise en appétit...

Hallo Lesezeichen,
Schön das sie hier durchgehen. Ich habe ihre Empfehlungen gern gelesen, willkommen! Tut mir Leid das mein Deutsch eingerostet ist.

lesezeichen - thanks much for the invitation to the Trollope group! (But I'm not going to attempt to revive my very rusty German.) I became hooked on Trollope last fall after reading the excellent biography by N. John Hall and then plunging into the Barset series. Had an exchange a month ago on the relative merits of Dickens and Trollope. I said that if Dickens were alive today he'd be writing network sitcoms.

haha! Thanks for the invite to the Trollope group. I thought I was going to get slammed for feeding the troll. I have had a hankering to re-read Barchester Towers recently, and finish up the whole cycle (I've only read the first two). This is good incentive.

lesezeichen;
I've already created more than I can keep up with.

Why don't we just post to each other, and not make them private. The members of this can join in, and if there is a lot of interest, we can start one.

To begin, what is your favorite trollope novel and why?
I can't decide between one of the Irish novels, one of the Barsetshire novels, and one of the Palliser novels. I guess the [kellys and the o'kellys], the [last chronicle of barset] and [phineas finn]. (and before all that, a must read is [[maria edgeworth]]'s [castle rackrent]. The edgeworth caused me to spring for a complete set of her novels, but there weren't any more funny ones in the bunch. The rest were in the [[Fanny Burney]] [[samuel richardson]] mold.

Try to catalog my books since last week...but some of my books have never been translated. E.g. Unkenrufe by Grass or Das Wüten der ganzen Welt by Maarten t' Hart. I didn't know that before - thought this books were international.
Regards,
Sabine

Hallo Lesezeichen,

ja klar, man muss mal anfangen aber es macht auch so schon Spaß. Dein Bücherregal ist ziemlich international - alle Achtung!

Viele Grüße aus Hamburg,

Hi Sabine,

Yes, I joined the Trollope list just last week! I haven't read much by him but he was recommended on another list. I now have all the Barchester series and 4 of the Palliser novels. I also have a short story collection, "The Spotted Dog and Other Stories". I see you have some PD James in your library. She is one of my favorites!
