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 Paris Trout, and thought you might like my novel since it's also southern and a bit dark (in the same vein as Paris Trout). 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:

Thanks,

Herodotus is on hold; finishing Joyce's "A Portrait..." in prep for Ulysses beginning March 1st (leading a group here in LT up the summit, we're nuts!) Will definitely make a point of dropping by regularly.
What a wonderful blog you have. Most blogs are a dime a dozen; not yours.
I love your blog.
Yes! It's me...

Cheers from down south.

Who this?
Hullo again ~ yup, i post over at RV, too. That's a fantastic picture by the way! Great, subtle colors and light.
Hello Susan, i love your short story blog, and was pleased to be sent to LibraryThing by the my library link. i wish you ranked your books. ~ nr
Hi Susan, I wanted to thank you for having my library as interesting library site! I know I am a little slow but still thank you. It is a great reading day here in Portland, raining and cold. So that how Ive been spending my day, reading. I work as a volunteer at a local middle school, one class I am working with, is a writing class. There reading A Separte Peace by John Knowles, the story is about a group of boys is private boarding school in New England in 1942. The students are then going to write a paper about one of the characters. I've reading this book today and it actually stired memories in me about my senior year in high school. While my school was a public school, it was in 1966, the major unling theme was the draft and the Vietnam war. For the boys in the school in the novel, it is the draft and WW 2. Another theme is the shift of relationships from students to being adults. Of course I had the addition of learning how to relate to women, I am still learning about that! I look forward to hearing the students impressions this coming week. Anyway I hope you have hours of enjoyable reading.

Hi Susan, thanks for friending me! :)
Oh dear, you checked the blog? And I just posted those weird collages (blush). Thank you for going to the trouble of checking it out and actually reading through the entries. I love THE SUN. I worked with Sy Safransky and other Sunnies two summers ago in CA and will return in Sept. to teach workshops with them. They are fine people.
Hello, I just noticed you joined Art is Life. Welcome! Feel free to start a new topic if none appeals to you there. We're just getting started, so you haven't missed much. Hope to see you soon.
I just discovered your blog (Pages Turned) and also the group blog of "the slaves" *smile* You and I share quite a few books (31) and looks like we have similar tastes in reading. I've added your blogs to my bloglines :)

Hi Susan,
thank you for joining Virago Modern Classics!

Paola :-))
I never took one of her classes, but I met her several times. She's pretty eccentric and very friendly. Just by talking with her, you can tell she's a brilliant writer. I was always disappointed it didn't work out for me to take her fiction writing class before I graduated.
Have you read Strange Angels already? What did you think? Jonis Agee is a professor at my (former) university.
RE: "At the rate I'm going, I'm never going to finish cataloging."

I am a retired librian/Web editor. Believe me, no cataloging of any libray is ever finished. You are doing a fine job. Keep it up and don't ever get discouraged. The purpose of cataloging is to bring order out of chaos and make information accessable. Every little bit helps, so even if you never finish you are making progress.
What a beautiful picture! Is it you? Was it taken by Vermeer Van Delft?
I was thinking of Steinbeck.

I am in awe of your library and no less of you for having read it. I must confess I busted out laughing at the end of the Pearl though.

We share 57 books, dear SFP. I am much too cheap to upgrade... at least just year. $25 is, after all, another book or two. But you inspired me to create a library of 200, anyway.
