About meI've always been somewhat obsessive about cataloging my books. Thanks, LT, thanks.
New ways to be obsessive about my addictions equals awesome.

Europe's Tragedy by Peter Wilson

I just finished Suicide by Edouard Leve. I thought the novel to be very powerful and mysterious. It seems to be there are two basic questions that are unanswerabel, existance and death. This novel explore both these issues. I was wondering what you thought

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 Butcher Boy, and I thought you might like my novel since it's also about a disturbed adolescent and a bit dark. 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:

OK. It's very different from his earlier novels. We'll probably discuss it over on Club Read once it's been on sale for a while.

I see you're among the few of us who list "The City & The City". Have you read it yet? I just did, posted a review - would love to have people to discuss it with. Avaland is reading it now.

starcat, what does your tag "the quest" mean? I have deep and sincere envy of your library, by the way.

Do you know you are the only person who rated Phenomenology of Spirit? This book is getting a bad rap on Library Thing. I read it for school, and then on break -- again. And then during the summer...lol. Surely there are some other users who would give this book a 3 ana half, or above???
