19 Pictures of an asshole by Ilie Terate

no, alas. I assume you found the threads for the salon group read?

BTW I notice that you have Mr Terate's magnum opus in your library. Well done!

I've been catching up on the IJ threads.
Your scholarship and attention to detail is awesome!

Wow, the halation info is mind-blowing. Makes me want to go re-read IJ right now.

Well done!
I think you got the nail on the head on why DFW is so important.
Thank you.

Wow. Life imitating art, er, fiction. Very cool. Thanks (sincerely) for keeping me posted on all this DFW related stuff. I had no idea....

Hi pyrocow,

Thanks for adding my library to your list. I'm adding yours to my list, as well.

Cheers,

Darryl (kidzdoc)

I noticed you have a copy of "Dune" by Frank Herbert. I just posted a video review of the book. You can find it here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BKc4A7cPVQc

I'd like to hear your opinion on the book, perhaps in the form of a video response or a private message on either LibraryThing or YouTube. A comment on the video would be just as cool, too.

Noticed you liked Clockwork Orange, and I 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. Thought you might like my book since it's also about a group of violent kids (and also a bit dark). I could e-mail you the novel in an e-book format if you'd like (I'm out of physical copies at the moment). Let me know if you're interested. Here's a link to a summary (and a sample chapter) in case you'd like to read more about the book before you commit:
