About my library Books I own (some of them are my husband's--mostly the military ones). Books I've read. Books I'm going to read.

Here's the plan for 2008: I want to catch up on the classics, so the only fiction I'll read will be the classics. Nonfiction is fair game.

*Edited 2008 plan: For every 2 contemporary fiction books, I'll read 1 classic. It's too hard sticking to only the classics! Also, I'll try to expand my horizons and read genres I don't normally read.

Lisa,

I just noticed the kind note you left on my page, and I appreciate it. I really dig this website, wish I had more time to comb through it. If you get a chance to read DEEP IN THE MOUNTAINS, I would love to know what you think. I was at ALA in 2007 signing books, trying to get out as many copies as I could to librarians. In any case, hope 2008 is off to a good start for you.

Best,
T.Cheng
Hi, Lisa!

Thanks for the reply. I will try Colm Toibin; I will read anything suggested by a Trevor fan! I agree- Trevor's works are haunting and tense. That is what I love about them, too. That, and they make you really think about things, like dissent, ethnocentrism, and basic human equity.

It's so good to be meeting friendly fellow book-lovers on Library Thing. What an oasis of intelligent discussion. Thanks!

Hi. I am new to Library Thing. I saw in my "shared favorites" that you like William Trevor as well. Can you tell me if you have read Beyond the Pale & Other Stories, by him? If so, what did you think of it? I read it years ago in college, and the memory haunts me ever since. I found it riveting. I relate it to today, and the way some people would rather pretend "nothing is happening," than to deal with the serious issues of inequity, dissent, and revolution that face us, daily.

What other Trevor have you read? Anything to suggest?

I am happy to have at least one of his books in my possession now!

I like David Sedaris, too. I loved Dress Your Family in Corduroy & Denim.

Thanks,
"Sweet Dissident"
