About my library Now that I have all my books entered, I'm working on cleaning up my tags... which are a big mess right now.

I'm buying books at a faster rate than I'm reading. When I finish one book, I have some anxiety over what to read next, since there are so many sitting sadly on my shelves, waiting for love.

My library is currently split between two homes: my parents' house, where the majority of my books live, and my apartment, which holds mostly "to be read" and favorites.

Like you I really enjoyed the Dark Tower series by Stephen King. I started reading them one summer many years ago and thought that King would never complete the series. What did you think of the ending? At first I was slightly dissapointed (after so much anticipation), but then I realized that it was fitting for Roland.

ps. I was so glad King released the last 3 fairly quickly instead of drawing it out.

Well, what´s cooking? Nice yuletide with good food, or will it be on the 6th of january?
Rune
Wish you a tasty weekend.
Rune
"Long" time. Busy days? I have put in some more cookboks lately. I only have 4 boxes with boks to catalogue. I think it will be done before 2007 is over.
I found a recipee of halva that I tried years ago. Maybe I should try again.
I don't know the weather at your place, but can be cold.
I will send you something that tastes very good.
Rune
Well, I had to buy it to see, and it remained on my shelf too. I started several times. The history is best.
Rune
Which of Donna Tartts books did you prefer? I liked "The secret history". The settings were so vivid. Their greek lecturer.
Rune N
I have gone to your foodblog and sent mail there.
Rune
I will. Certainly. I just have to find some in english
Rune
Hello doppelganger! Thanks for the nice comment. I have NOT read anything by Mark Danielewski, but because of your suggestion, I went and sought out his titles. They sound like they would be perfect for one of my book groups. Any suggestions on a particular one? I am thinking "House of Leaves." Many thanks!
Would you like som norwegian food? Thanks for adding me to friends

Rune
I saw you working with the cheese. Uvezian is good. A compilation of armenian food not just from Armenia also from the middle east. I have hardly put in the cookbooks. My wife Gayane have also brought a armenian cookbook that I have not used too much to be honest, I would use more time to read/translate than cook.
Rune
Maybe I should get hold of your book? I found it on Amazon today. It seems like early morning in Boston? I always "work" on Librarything. It is to fill in the timegap and it feels useful. I look around who migh have some of the odd books that I got hold of, especially armenian ones. Today I got a book in the mail. It is written by a norwegian young man. I heard him on radio on Friday and 1 hour later I had ordered his book. I am looking forward to it. It is short stories. Usually I don't buy much norwegian fiction. I think this will be good.

Rune
Barev. tagging takes some time. I still have some 300 books to catalogue, but they will come. I still have a lot of frontpages to to look for and find time to read.

50 Year Sword is coming out in October 2008. He actually said at the beginning of the talk that he was not going to discuss it. Apparently you can order it through link on the house of leaves website. The blog there has directions on how to navigate the Dutch shipping system.
FYI since you also favorited [[Mark Danielewski]] and live in Boston, he's going to be at Porter Square book tonite, 10/2/2007 at 7 pm. Its the plaza across from the Porter square T stop.
Ha! You're quite welcome :) That was a fun place to work...

Abby
No, I haven't read Rant as of yet. I'll request it at the library and let you know what I think. I don't know if I'll change my mind, but you and I will at least have something to debate, won't we? =P
Hello, Pam. =)

Have you read any Douglas Copeland? His Generation X is similar to Fight Club, but better. Hehe. ^_^V

Neil Gaiman is great, too, and somewhat similar to Mark Danielewski. There are elements of the absurd and the fantastic in both authors' work, although it may not seem that way at first. I'm in the processing of rereading Gaiman (and reading more of his stuff that's new to me, as I was late coming in to his sect). Also try Thomas Pynchon's The Crying of Lot 49.

Let me know what you think. =)
Hey, I just noticed that you have the Allyson Beatrice book, Will The Vampire People Please Leave the Lobby! I just wanted to say that she's a friend of mine and the only reason that I wasn't in the Nilly chapter is that I was asleep when it went down that one night.

Had I only known you had it at the LT gathering I'd have talked your ear off. :-)
thanks for the info on tagging! wow - an endless amount of possibilities. i'll have to take a chunck of time on saturday to tag stuff.
What is "tagging"? and why is it useful?
