What's been up with you? Did your third ER book come?

posted by DieFledermaus at 9:37 pm (EST) on Jun 3, 2008

Finished Udolpho, that was pretty addictive! Have you had more time to read lately?

posted by DieFledermaus at 7:53 pm (EST) on May 27, 2008

That's pretty sweet! Definitely an appropriate book. Did The Gaming Life ever come? Right now I'm reading The Mysteries of Udolpho, what about you?

posted by DieFledermaus at 9:52 pm (EST) on May 22, 2008

Nice! Has the first one come yet?

posted by DieFledermaus at 3:56 am (EST) on Apr 11, 2008

Still reading the Left Hand of Darkness, also Scenes of Clerical Life by Eliot and Senilita by Italo Svevo. What's HPB?

posted by DieFledermaus at 8:01 pm (EST) on Apr 9, 2008

Sounds good. I'm reading Left Hand of Darkness right now, finished the Devil Wears Prada. We'll have to meet up sometime so I can give it back to you. What else are you reading right now?

I'm going to try to get up there this weekend, but not sure about my work schedule yet. I'll give you a call tomorrow.

That's pretty exciting about the book!! Maybe Marshall will want to read it? I'll have to go look at the summary on the ER page. I'm still reading The Way We Live Now - long book. Also reading your The Devil Wears Prada and the Calvino you gave me, t zero. Did you get the new Fruits Basket?

Reading anything good?

posted by DieFledermaus at 10:09 pm (EST) on Mar 19, 2008

Hey - did you get a book this month? Zilch for me, but I signed up for one of the bonus batch.

posted by DieFledermaus at 7:14 pm (EST) on Mar 18, 2008

Right now I'm reading the book of poems you loaned me, Seize the Day by Saul Bellow and still working on Trollope's The Way We Live Now. Apparently one of his longest books. I'm pretty sure I can come and have cupcakes also.

posted by DieFledermaus at 8:57 pm (EST) on Mar 8, 2008

Yeah, I haven't been signing up the past couple months because been too crazed recently, but the quarter's almost over so trying to read more. Last month was a bad month for finishing things. Are you reading another Trollope now?

posted by DieFledermaus at 7:50 pm (EST) on Mar 8, 2008

Hey - signed up for some of the March Early Reviewer books, there were a ton of them. Did you sign up for any of the cooking one?

posted by DieFledermaus at 7:25 pm (EST) on Mar 8, 2008

Hey - reading The Hand of Ethelberta by Hardy, Gogol short stories and The Way We Live Now by Trollope right now. Haven't had as much time lately as usual to read what with TAing and 2 grants for the lab. Crazy. I hadn't seen the status box, I might have to add books I'm in the middle of reading.

posted by DieFledermaus at 3:43 am (EST) on Feb 27, 2008

Sounds good. Can't wait to read it. What are you reading right now?

posted by DieFledermaus at 4:43 pm (EST) on Feb 24, 2008

Hey - how's the novel editing going?

posted by DieFledermaus at 5:21 am (EST) on Feb 24, 2008

Ok, I can give you the rest of the Barsetshire series next time I'm at home. Glad someone else likes Trollope!

posted by DieFledermaus at 7:06 pm (EST) on Jan 26, 2008

Did you get a book for this month?

posted by DieFledermaus at 8:28 pm (EST) on Jan 22, 2008

Yeah, I think The Eyre Affair was one of our early ones.

posted by DieFledermaus at 5:16 am (EST) on Jan 20, 2008

Hey - I hope you get one of the Early Reviewer books this month. Glad you liked The Warden, though I'll have to warn you - later books ballooned in size and have a lot more plot meandering. Finished the Thirteenth Tale, it was a quick read. I'm trying to think of suggestions for the next book, but have been busy with TAing lately. Will have to get on that.

posted by DieFledermaus at 4:39 am (EST) on Jan 14, 2008

No, not this month. There were a lot that looked good but nothing that really jumped out. Trying to concentrate on the giant pile. Which ones did you pick? Have you started The Thirteenth Tale yet?

posted by DieFledermaus at 2:22 am (EST) on Jan 11, 2008

Did you sign up for a book this month?

posted by DieFledermaus at 7:08 pm (EST) on Jan 10, 2008

Hey - are you available to do stuff tomorrow? I'll be up north and I think Leann will be coming up.

posted by DieFledermaus at 10:15 pm (EST) on Jan 4, 2008

Finished and reviewed my November Early Reviewer book, The Story of Forgetting. Did you want to borrow it? I posted my review, and there are a lot of other ones already up.

posted by DieFledermaus at 7:15 am (EST) on Dec 31, 2007

I'm so glad you liked the SantaThing book I picked for you. It was one of my favorite books last year & I hope you like it! Thanks for adding me! :-)

posted by bostonbibliophile at 9:56 am (EST) on Dec 29, 2007

Hey - my Early Reviewer book came today. I'll try to finish it as fast as possible and write a review if you want to borrow it. Don't know if it'll be before the 19th though. We should both def read Foundation and The Left Hand of Darkness, but I don't think it would work for book club - I know Jamie's read Darkness, and Jenelle just isn't really into sci fi.

posted by DieFledermaus at 7:23 pm (EST) on Dec 14, 2007

Yeah, definitely. I was sorry you weren't able to come yesterday, hope you're feeling better. Hopefully I'll be home next weekend, maybe we could do coffee or something then.

posted by DieFledermaus at 7:14 pm (EST) on Dec 8, 2007

I have your Devil Wears Prada - still meaning to get around to it. Finished The Namesake and Sherlock Holmes II though.

posted by DieFledermaus at 1:51 pm (EST) on Dec 7, 2007

I think it also helps to have a lot of modern fiction books, from what I've heard in the Early Reviewer group. You could prob add more, I know you've read a ton more than what's listed in your library.

posted by DieFledermaus at 12:09 am (EST) on Dec 5, 2007

Got one of the books I requested from the bonus batch - The Story of Forgetting, but Stefan Merrill Block. You can borrow it if you're interested after I read/review it. I think the description's on the ER page.

posted by DieFledermaus at 8:10 pm (EST) on Dec 4, 2007

That's pretty exciting, I guess December can be the novel-editing month?

posted by DieFledermaus at 5:48 am (EST) on Dec 4, 2007

Did you finish your novel?

posted by DieFledermaus at 9:30 pm (EST) on Dec 3, 2007

Sad that you couldn't come down yesterday! But I'll see you soon. Finished The Namesake, it was good.

posted by DieFledermaus at 3:57 pm (EST) on Dec 2, 2007

Hey. My reading's going a bit slow too right now cause I have finals/project coming up and we're about to send this grant off. I think I'll have to meet with my group sometime this weekend, but would probably be able to get together for coffee/lunch/dinner. I'll know what my schedule will be tomorrow.

Hey - did you get a November Early Reviewer book?

posted by DieFledermaus at 1:38 pm (EST) on Nov 28, 2007

What are you reading now? I have multiple books going right now, but it's just making me crazy

posted by DieFledermaus at 1:43 am (EST) on Nov 27, 2007

Hey - we ended up seeing Love in the Time of Cholera yesterday (there's a whole story about it, will tell you later) - and not good! not good! I felt like they kept the storyline but took out everything that made the book good

posted by DieFledermaus at 6:12 pm (EST) on Nov 17, 2007

What are you reading right now? Looks like you already finished Making It Up, I'm reading that one currently

posted by DieFledermaus at 7:49 pm (EST) on Nov 15, 2007

Hey - they have some more books on the early reviewer page, I signed up for a couple. Guess it's a special thing from one of the publishers

posted by DieFledermaus at 1:44 am (EST) on Nov 14, 2007

How's the novel going? I'm helping to write a 27 page paper....but it's just a grant for the lab. Not as exciting.

posted by DieFledermaus at 5:50 am (EST) on Nov 13, 2007

Hey - saw your review for Gulliver's Travels. Not good - I've been planning to read that one for a while, now it's going further down the list. I can bring Master of the Sea next time I see you - maybe for Jenelle's bday?

posted by DieFledermaus at 8:12 pm (EST) on Nov 11, 2007

Hey. Finished Master of the Sea, but I didn't really like it. Already posted part of my review, still working on more. Think I took too many English/comp lit classes and now must spend too much time comparing everything. I have Garcia Marquez's General in his Labyrinth but haven't read it yet.

posted by DieFledermaus at 3:55 am (EST) on Nov 10, 2007

It is pretty nice that you can read it in Spanish. Have you read any of his books that aren't in your catalog?

posted by DieFledermaus at 12:58 pm (EST) on Nov 8, 2007

Yeah, Leann told me it was being made into a movie. We should go see it when it's released. But I know Jenelle already read it and didn't like it. Maybe we could do another Garcia Marquez novel for the book club.

posted by DieFledermaus at 8:38 pm (EST) on Nov 7, 2007

Just signed up for the one I wanted most - don't think I'll get one since I got one last month

posted by DieFledermaus at 5:16 am (EST) on Nov 6, 2007

Did you sign up for some Early Reviewer books already?

posted by DieFledermaus at 11:42 pm (EST) on Nov 5, 2007

Sounds like next month's Early Reviewer books will be posted on Nov 1st. You might want to put up a review or two, that's supposed to help increase the odds.

posted by DieFledermaus at 8:31 pm (EST) on Oct 29, 2007

Ok, I'll have to borrow it. Let me know if you want to borrow anything from mine, though I don't own all the ones that I've cataloged.

posted by DieFledermaus at 6:27 pm (EST) on Oct 28, 2007

Didn't know you read Kokoro, how was it?

posted by DieFledermaus at 3:30 am (EST) on Oct 28, 2007

You're one of the top members with the same books as me!
