Choose a book you've not yet read -- III

I think we're about ready for a new thread.

I chose Northanger Abbey by Jane Austen from PishPosh's library.

from AMQS my choice falls on West With The Night by Beryl Markham

From masgar's library, I choose "Portrait in Sepia: A Novel" by Isabel Allende. I read & enjoyed her "Daughter of Fortune" so will try another by this author.

From Catgwinn, I selected The Ring of Truth: An Inquiry into How We Know What We Know.

From Sandydog1's library I choose Right Ho, Jeeves.

From lkernagh's library, I choose The Black Tower. I love mysteries!

From PishPosh's library, I choose The Thief Lord. I keep hearing good things about it and just haven't managed to get it to the top of the TBR pile yet.

Iker, I just finished Right Ho, Jeeves and laughed my flabby parts off (ok, I already forgot the prep school jargon for the Bertie's parts, that are in contact with a bicycle). I've so much to read, that I may not get to any more Wodehouse, but LT and other sources say that this is one of his best. I'm so glad I've experienced him.

From the library of our favorite physicist drneutron, I've chosen The Buried Book: The Loss and Rediscovery of the Great Epic of Gilgamesh. It would be fun to read about our world's very first story.

Intrigued by Longitude the True Story of a Lone Genius Who Solved the Greatest... by Dava Sobel from Sandudog1's library

From masgar's library, I choose Judgment on Deltchev by Eric Ambler. It looks really good.

Loved your library, janoorani24. I'll choose Bed-Knob and Broomstick by Mary Norton. Our local children's librarian recommended it, as we loved The Borrowers but weren't sure about the sequels.

From the library of AMQS, I've chosen West with the Night. It looks so good. Perhaps I've even chosen it before, during this very long, very entertaining game.

Sandydog1 - you've got some great books! Eight Little Piggies: Reflections in Natural History by Stephen Jay Gould looks interesting.

Aw, when I see an infrequent, 3,000-volume library, I just HAVE to jump back in! From the library of karenmarie, I'll go for something light: 92 Stories, by Thurber.

I hope it's ok if anyone jumps into the game.

I choose A Gentle Madness from Sandydog1's library. I love books about books, and gentle madness really does describe my addiction to book collecting and reading!

Yes! All are welcome, and the more, the merrier. We're glad you're here. From your library, DeltaQueen50, I choose Here be Dragons by Sharon Kay Penman. I keep seeing it "around" -- in LTers libraries, in the real library, in book stores. I take that as a sign. Plus, I love reading about Wales.

eta: Sandydog1, I agree that the game is entertaining. It's so fun to look through other members' libraries, and I love seeing what people would choose from my own, and why. It's like a small study of what makes readers tick.

From the library of AMQS, I pick Life of Pi by Yann Martel. I had never heard of it, but it sounds interesting.

From mybookcloset's library, I choose The Polar Express. Believe it or not, I have never read it. :O

From PishPosh's library, I chose The Memory Book: A Novel. It looks like something I would enjoy.

Yes, welcome aboard DeltaQueen; we need more players!

From alcottacre's extensive collection I found yet another book about books. It's called simply, Great Books.

I am new to the group. This is really interesting.

From Sandydog1's library - A natural history of New York City sounds really interesting.

Welcome, janepriceestrada! I loved visiting your library. It looks like you've read a lot of classics. I'll choose Lysistrata by Aristophanes.

From AMQS I would love to read The Chilli Queen by Sandra Dallas. It's on my wishlist.
Can't seem to get the touchstones to work.

From DeltaQueen50's fantastic library I choose Forty Words For Sorrow by Giles Blunt. A new Canadian author for me in one of my favorite genres, mystery.

For lkernagh's library, I choose Memoirs of a Geisha. I've owned the book for awhile and I love the movie, so I think it's time to finally sit down and read it!

The Dispossessed from RebeccaAnn's library would be my choice. I am trying to read more in the science fiction/fantasy genre's this year.

In Search of History: A Personal Adventure by Theodore H. White
from alcottacre 's library

From Masgar's library I would love to read The Green Hills of Africa since I am really into books set in Africa right now, also this is an Ernest Hemingway that I haven't read.

From the massive library of karenmarie, I chose Lucy, the Beginnings of Humankind.

From my second browse thru Sandydog1's library, I choose A Walk In The Woods. I've seen this mentioned on LT alot and it sounds interesting.

From karenmarie's library I choose Blindspot by Jane Kamensky, which is on my TBR pile.

lkernagh has a great library which is thoughtfully annotated with great comments... which made it hard to choose a book! I think I'll try The Flying Troutmans by Miriam Toews.

Dream of the Walled City is the book I would choose from AMQS' library.

It's been too long since I browsed through alcottacre's incredible library. I choose Stilwell and the American experience in China, 1911-45 because it's one of the only Tuchman books I haven't read, yet.

From janoorani24's library I choose "The Book of Lost Books: An Incomplete History of All the Great Books You'll Never Read" by Stuart Kelly

From Catgwinn's library, I choose Until Proven Guilty because I've never read anything by J. A. Jance and Catgwinn gave it 5 stars.

From LisaMorr's library, I will choose The Time Traveler's Wife based on the great review. It is something I have wanted to read for some time because I see little mentions of it all over the place.

I would choose The Best of Gourmet, Featuring the Flavors of Rome from Janepriceestrada's library. There's nothing like a great cookbook!

I was JUST going to select A House for Mr. Biswas from jane's library. Instead, from the library of DeltaQuee, I choose The Flame Trees of Thika: Memories of an African Childhood.

I'm feeling a bit academic today. From alcottacre's library, I choose The Oxford Companion to Archaeology. It looks like something that would be fun to leaf through.

A detailed stroll through your library, Sandydog1 shows me lots and lots of books about birds! We love the birds where we live although I don't keep official track and don't recognize too many by sight. My goal is to see a painted bunting, though.

Anyway, I thought I'd like to dip into A Photographic Guide to North American Raptors by Brian K. Wheeler to help me identify the hawks that I see out in our neck of the woods.

From karenmarie's library I choose Mrs. Mike by Benedict Freedman.

84, Charing Cross Road by Helene Hanff from AMQS's Library

From Catgwinn's library I just have to choose Some Damned Fool's Signed the Rubens Again by Norman Thelwell... now off to find a copy!

As a Canadian, I want to choose, The Flying Troutman's by Miriam Toews from Ikernagh's library as I don't read enough Canadian authors. By the way, I am going to be in Victoria next week visiting my Mother - can you please order up some nice spring weather!

>65 DeltaQueen50::

From alcottacre's library I choose The Cellist of Sarajevo by Steven Galloway. I have been meaning to read that book for quite some time now!

From lkernagh's library, I pick The Meaning of Night by Michael Cox as it sounds really interesting.

From Rach's library, I've chosen Cider House Rules. The movie seemed to be a real snoozer, but I am curious about the novel.

From Sandydog1's great library I choose John Locke on Politics and Education. I will admit that that one jumped out at me from the random books window on the right hand side of the screen, but how did LT know I had a minor in Political Science and would be intrigued by that one?....... Hummmmm...Spookey! :)

I choose "The Red Thread: A Love Story" by Nicholas Jose from lkernaugh's library.

From Catgwinn's library I choose Fool's Puzzle by Earlene Fowler. I love mysteries and this looks like a good series!

228: You know what else I find spooky Ikernagh? 'The Recommendations feature of LT. Uncanny!

From DeltaQueen, I've chosen The Hunger Games. Great reviews.

From Sandydog1's library I choose A Gentle Madness by Nicholas Basbanes. Love the title, love the subject!

From AMQS's library, I choose Ben & Jerry's Homemade Ice Cream & Dessert Book. Yum!!

From PishPosh's library I choose "East of Eden" by John Steinbeck, a classic I've not yet read.

From Catgwinn's library, I choose The Kite Runner because I am the last person on the face of the planet who has not yet read it.

Uhm, second to last. You'll probably get to The Kite Runner before me.

Before that, I've got to read the Tao Te Ching, from jillmwo's library.

From Sandydog1's library I choose "The Room of Lost Things" by Stella Duffy...interesting title.

From Catgwinn's library I have to choose Call Me Anna: The Autobiography of Patty Duke sounds like one I would like. I always liked Patty Duke.

From the library of callmejacx, I choose Stories from the Vinyl Cafe. I could use a chuckle.

From the library of Sandydog1, I choose The Way We Live Now. I've only watched the DVD, haven't read the book and I do like Trollope as a rule.

From jillmwo's library, I choose Trick of the Mind by Cassandra Chan.

From PishPosh's library, I choose The Memory Book as the synopsis sounds intriguing.

From Rach974923's library, I can't resist The Irresistible Inheritance of Wilberforce by Paul Torday.

One of those titles one wonders at having missed, I choose A Pirate of Exquisite Mind from karenmarie's library. What an extraordinary character!

From jillmwo's library I've chosen An infinity of little hours. Hard core stuff.

After an enjoyable morning browse through Sandydog1's library I choose Confederates in the Attic by Tony Horwitz. I have seen a lot of postings on LT for this book and curious to check it out for myself.

From lkernagh's library I'll choose Coventry: A Novel by Helen Humphreys. It sounds like a book I would love.

Confederates in the Attic is a total hoot, especially for those who are, or know of, fanatic hobbyists. I think of it whenever I see a movie or a documentary that shows a Civil War reenactment. Inevitably, the majority of the soldiers on the field will be real portly dudes.

This is totally un-sat for the hard-core Civil War buff. These guys starve themselves in order to appear more realistic. As one who is no stranger to food, I am amazed at the lifestyle of the hard core re-enactors.

From the library of AMQS, I've chosen Enslaved by Ducks.

From Sandydog1's history collection, I choose "1066 and All That" A Memorable History of England" by W.C. Sellar. Sounds like a fun addition to my "serious" English histories.

From Catgwinn's library I choose Rebecca by Daphne Du Maurier. This is another book I haven't read that is getting a lot posting activity on LT....

I choose The Discovery of Dawn from lkernagh's library.

PishPosh, you've got some terrific children's literature in your library. I'm going to choose The Count of Monte Cristo by Alexandre Dumas.

I choose The Enchantress of Florence by Salman Rushdie from AMQS's library. I've never read any Rusdie and this sounds like a good place to start.

From jennieg's library I'll select "In Praise of the Needlewoman: Embroiderrs, Knitters, Lacemakers and..." by Gail Carolyn Sirna.

Well I've been reading a lot of fluff lately, and I need to find something sublime, sophisticated and on a bit higher plane than the usual literary fare. I was roaming the stacks in Cat's library and found the perfect selection: One Frog Too Many

Mercer Mayer is the bomb.

He's my uncle! Sort of... he's my father's step-brother. We have all his books. From Sandydog1's library I'll choose The Edge of the Sea by Rachel Carson.

Wow, that must be cool, maybe you can get some sketches!

It's been a long game, and perhaps I've chosen this before. But, from your (AMQS's) library I picked The Shadow of the Sun.

Well... it's tricky. My father and MM are not close. My grandmother bequeathed to me all the first editions of his books, all of which are signed, and have fun drawings and personal messages added, and those I treasure. There's even a book dedicated to me (Anne)... I think it's Little Monster's Counting Book but I'm not positive.

From AMQS recent additions I choose "Montana 1948: A Novel" by Larry Watson

'Sandydog'...."AH-CHOO" is another fun Mercer Mayer.

>258 AMQS:
AMQS, It looks like I owe you a book from my library!

I'll have to check out Ah-Choo, of course after I finish my my current endeavor, Ulysses.

From Catgwinn, I choose HELEN AND TEACHER: THE STORY OF HELEN KELLER AND ANNE SULLIVAN MACY.

I choose I & Dog by the Monks of New Skete from Sandydog1's library. I've read their title, In the Spirit of Happiness so I'd be interested in learning more about their training program for dogs.

I pick The Great Influenza: the Epidemic of the Greatest Plague... by John Barry.
I have this listed in my library, but have not read it.

There are so, so many books I would pick from dara85/s library, but for now I will pick The Perfect Husband by Lisa Gardner. I enjoy Lisa's books and I am dying to find out if there is such a thing as the perfect husband.

Mothers and Sons: Stories by Colm Toibin is the book I would chose from callmejacx' library.

I am really in the mood for a good historical romance, so I picked The Pretender by Celeste Bradley from Alcottacre's library, I see she rated it highly!

I shall pick The Unknown Soldier by Gerald Seymour from DeltaQueen's Library. LT says I will like it. I just might

One Small Garden is one I'll try to find at the library next week--love the illustrator and the subject matter. I noticed it on the list of additions to your LT library, visited its page on Amazon. Callmejacx, I nearly chose The Thirteenth Tale and was enchanted by the excerpt (LT says I will not like it!) but have a very difficult job to get through right now without 400-page distractions.

I absolutely adore the movie Harold and Maude and didn't even realize there was a book! So I choose Harold and Maude from your library, Marchpane.

Now I just have to go find it..... I'll try BookMooch first.

Right on the first page of karnmarie's library I shall pick 100 Ghastly Ghost Stories by Stefar Dziemianwicz. It's always a good time for a ghost story.

>261 jillmwo: Jillmwo,

Make sure you have plenty of time to read that Monks of Skete title. It'll take you, oh a good 15 minutes! It's like a tiny coffee table book. I loved it, in spite of its brevity.

From Callmejacx's library, I've selected The Complete James Herriot Vet Tales. I've never read any of Herriot.

Sandydog1 - we both want to read this one from your library! Maps of Time: An Introduction to Big History by David Christian. It's on my official wishlist.

From Karenmarie's library, I'm choosing Book by Whoopi Goldberg as I think she's great.

From Rach974923's library I have chosen Cranford by Elizabeth Gaskell. I have heard many good things about both this author and in particular this book.

I've chosen The Black Flower by Howard Bahrfrom DeltaQueen's library because I don't know anything about it or the author.

Welcome jennieg! From your library, I've chosen Crucible of War.

Thanks! And from yours, I've chosen I & Dog, which doesn't want to load.

There is no doubt about it. I have to pick Jeeves And The Tie That Binds by P.G. Wodehouse. It has been awhile since I have read Jeeves.

From callmejacx collection I choose "Welcome Home: Travels in Small Town Canada" by Stuart McLean

a good pick

I would like to pick Thousand Pieces of Gold by Ruthanne Lum McCunn from Catgwinn's library. Sounds interesting.

From DeltaQueen50's library, I shall pick, In the Woods by Tana French. I don't think I have ever come across an Irish Crime Fiction. Seeing that she gave it 4 stars I think it might be worth a try.

OOOooooh, callmejacx has The Lost City of Z in her library and I've wanted to read that since I first saw a review in the NYTimes. Explorer, lost city, South America -- what's not to love?

From jillmw's library, I've picked How to Read Literature Like a Professor. I can never get enough books about books.

From Sandydog1's library I'll choose A Mouthful of Air: Language, Languages... Especially English by Anthony Burgess this time.

I choose Collapse: How Societies Choose to Fail by Jared Diamond from AMQS' library. I've been meaning to get around to it for some time.

Ooh! I want to read Mistress of the Art of Death by Ariana Franklin from jennieg's library. I've been trying to mooch it, unsuccessfully, so far.

Time for a new thread, don't you agree?

Here it is...http://www.librarything.com/topic/67150&newpost=1#lastmsg
