Hi MrAndrew.
Thanks for getting in touch with me. Your list is very interesting. I can see some books that I would definitely like to read. On the subject of "Dracula" -- I think it is one of the best books I have read. Have you read any of the Horatio Hornblower books by the way?
I think I will read A Private Cosmos next.
Cheers -- Charles

Hi Andrew!

I was just thinking about you and Donna yesterday! I watched Australia last night and thought it was a magnificent film. I HAVE to go to Oz land one day!

I miss you too! No one makes me laugh like you do, Andrew. NO ONE!

I died laughing with the "Ms. Balthasar Short" line ... Thank you for enlivening LT with your belletristic wit!

Hey MrA!!!

Just wanted to thank you lots and lots and lots for the candles. The packaging was wonderful, you should be very proud of yourself :-)

If I can send anything to you guys, just let me know. (WITHIN REASON!! I know you...)

Thank you :)

However, I have only points for one book now. I will mooch it, but you can delay the sending. For the other 3 books, I need to get two mooches. One of those I know for certain, as I'm going to send out a book in the beginning of September to the US. I will try to get people to mooch from me sooner though, so I can mooch the other books as soon as possible :)

The Dutch Tarzan books I have are from 1971-1973 (except #1), so I don't mind that they're a bit older. I'm still interested :) I did not expect to find new editions anyway.

MrA, I hate to tell you this, but you're wrong about the bear hat. It's actually black silk masks that are incredibly comfortable, and about to catch on, as Wesley told the giant.

Hi MrA! I read on the what are you reading thread that you are reading [The House of The Spirits] and I just wanted to say I really really liked that book. How are you liking it so far? and when you finish it let me know so we can comment about it...I would love to know the reaction of someone reading it in English or if there is too much lost in translation.

Have a great one! and say hello to MsD from me.

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 The Wasp Factory, 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:

Sweet! There's a movie and a comic book based on the YouTube video?

I admit, I grew up with comic books and action figures. I never read Watchmen though. I did wait forever for Professor Xavier to invite my to come to his school and make me an X-Man, similar to how many people we know wait for their invitation to Hogwarts.

And gee whiz, MrA, how deprived were you that you didn't read comic books? I'm so sorry.

Hey MrA,
In my quest for regal attire, I found MsDonna's object.

http://www.englishmonarchs.co.uk/crown_j...

The Orb, a golden globe topped by a diamond encrusted cross dates to 1661 for the coronation of Charles II and is symbolic of the world ruled by Christianity, it is held in the monarch's left hand during the coronation ceremony. The jeweled cross which surmounts the orb reflects the monarch's title of Defender of the Faith.

That is so stuck in my head now!

And the Lord spake, saying, 'First shalt thou take out the Holy Pin. Then, shalt thou count to three. No more. No less. Three shalt be the number thou shalt count, and the number of the counting shall be three. Four shalt thou not count, nor either count thou two, excepting that thou then proceed to three. Five is right out. Once the number three, being the third number, be reached, then, lobbest thou thy Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch towards thy foe, who, being naughty in My sight, shall snuff it.'

Thanks for the interesting libraries add! You also have great books. A lot of Ursula K Le Guin -- I'm just about to crack open my copy of "The Wizard of Earthsea", a book that's been recommended to me pretty much since elementary school but I never got around to reading. I'm also intrigued by the eclectic title of "Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat." My eyebrows shot up to skyscraper heights when I saw it. I often mistake people for moving targets, sudden obstacles, and pillows, but rarely headwear.
