GruposGroup Reads - Literature, What the Dickens...?
Sobre mimRetired English teacher, voracious and eclectic reader with an interest in literature from around the world as well as US, England, Ireland, Scotland, and Europe. I'm especially interested in Indian lit and learning about Islamic world lit and Chinese lit. I am also learning Spanish (began in January), doting on my very first grandchild (born in Dec. 2008), and doing a good deal of gardening (flowers and vegetables). My project last summer was to re-read War and Peace (my third or fourth time through) and this summer, it is to read Goodwin's Team of Rivals (for first time) as well as Kaplan's Lincoln: The Biography of a Writer.
Sobre a minha bibliotecaSo far I have catalogued only my study so that I have miles to go before I sleep. June 2007: now I've done the bookcase in the hall with some of the Children's books and Shakespeare books though I've not done my husband's and my art books. Still miles to go! Now it is June 2008 and I begin to catalog my books in Maine (Blue Hill). so far I've done about 1/3 of my study and have the library and living room to go. Someday, I will get back to the books in my MA house. It's fall now (2008) and I'm beginning the task of cataloging the Maine living room books, many owned by my in-laws and need weeding out. Now in 2009, I still have art, travel and gardening books in MA to catalog. Oh, for more time...!

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:

I have been a dog/horse person for as long as I can remember. Found The Morgan Dennis Dog Book in a St. Petersburg, FL used bookstore. I have a few dog art books.
The Dennis family was gone by the time I arrived in Warrenton, but I have heard stories about them.
Good to hear from you.. sorry again for the long delay.

Personally I'm not familiar with the name "Strakov". Are you absolutely certain that the name is spelled right, could it not be "Strakhov"? Anyhow i've also done some research on internet, but unfortunately so far I didn't come across any well known person with this name or "Strakhov" for that matter.
In the event per chance i would still find any reference to these names, be assured i'll let you know.

You wrote to me a year ago and I have only just come across your note... "Have you read David Mitchell's Black Swan Green?..."
Yes, but gave up on it as it was like a poor first novel full of familiar adolescent nostalgia. A disappointing backward step. Cloud Atlas and Ghostwritten are from another universe entirely. I am Scottish and so have a read a fair few books from here and it is The Silver Darlings that sticks in my mind like a shining herring on a darkening sea. Sunset Song is a masterpiece that every literate Scot reads at some point, but I found the other novels more than I wanted on dour North East life. Try "The House with the green Shutters" instead. The greatest book from here, bearing in mind my love of Kafka, Camus, and Murakami is Alisdair Gray's truly astonishing novel, "Lanark"- 2 great books in one uneasy package, like Stevenson's Jekyll & Hyde. I apologise for patronising you if you have read all these already. If you have, what did you think?

I've just finished War and Peace (in Norwegian: Krig og fred) and some weeks ago I finished 'Middlemarch' by George Eliot (both novels were group reads in 'Group Reads - Literature' a marvellous group at LT, I see you are a member). Two voluminous and great novels. I don't participate in reading 'The Age of Innocence' with GR-L, instead I'm reading 'David Copperfield' (in English), and I imagine it a 'lighter read' than W&P and Middlemarch. I guess you've read some (or all?) Dickens as you've got novels by him on your bookshelves and are a member of "What the Dickens...?" (I am,too). Any recommendations?
I'm going to read more by Dickens later on, since I've recently received a box (Collectors Library) with some of his novels. And last week I bought four Dickens books (in Norwegian) at a second hand book shop here in Bodø. Until now I've only read 'Great Expectations' (in Norwegian: Store forventninger (title translated word by word)) and I liked that one very much.
Now and then I re-read my favorite author Knut Hamsun (Norwegian, Nobel Prize 1920). See my library.
Tusen takk for adding my library (Tusen = 1000, takk = thank you)!!
Happy reading.

I understand McCarthy is a love him/hate him sort of writer (sometimes simultaneously), but The Road was quite affecting. One was left with the feeling that this wasn't a tired exercise in a overused genre (post-apocalyptic fiction), but a harrowing and achingly sad view of a future that seems not just possible, but probable.

Thank you for your comments on my humble review of Graham Greene. Considering your own credentials, it is high praise indeed! Thank you also for adding me to your interesting libraries list. I have a garage full of boxes just itching to be catalogued, so check back sometime. I will have fun nosing through your library as well...

I use WARP all the time (I keep my copy on my "essential reference" shelf along with with the Oxford Book of Popes and the Penguin Dictionary of Saints), and I'm delighted to hear that there's a new edition coming out. In fact, I xeroxed a few pages out of WARP for two students just last week who were having trouble writing introductions. And I often find myself quoting from it without realizing it! I may have graduated 25 years ago, but I swear that Expos taught me everything I know about writing.
Soon, you'll get a chance to see how I turned out as a writer. My first book, So Great a Light, So Great a Smoke: the Beguin Heretics of Languedoc, will be coming out from Cornell University Press around Christmas. I've done my best to make it enjoyable as well as scholarly -- the stories of nine heretics who struggled against inquisitors and repression at the beginning of the fourteenth century. I'm very excited, and very glad to be finished with the text, the proofs, the indexing, the permissions...
It's lovely to see you here on LibraryThing! I'm slowly working my way through my library, but it will surely take ages before I get everything on line. It's fun, though!
Best --

In response to your question... my tags of "children's" and "young adult" are somewhat ambiguous. All of my picture books are classified as "children's". In addition, a number of books that I had read to me or that I read on my own at a young age are included, as well as a few that I *would* have been able/likely to read then, had I owned them. "Young adult" books are more generally longer ones with more complex plots, that I would estimate as good reading for ages 8-13 or thereabouts. As said, there is no definite rule distinguishing the two: only a vague recollection of when I first encountered that book.
Most of the classics like "Alice in Wonderland" or "The Secret Garden" are classified as "children's", I believe, since I originally read them in early youth. They could just as easily qualify as "young adult".
I hope that satisfies your interest. :)

Actually, I don't own The Hollow Tree and Deep Woods Book, but it is on my wishlist, along with The Hollow Tree Snowed-In Book. I do own Hollow Tree Nights and Days. The Hollow Tree stories were among my mother's childhood favorites. Though my siblings and I never owned any of the books while growing up, we used to love listening to Mom tell us all about "Mr. Coon, Mr. Crow, and Mr. Possum." Now that I have read some of the stories for myself, I understand why she loved them so much. I hope my daughter (now only three) will enjoy them someday as well.

It's lovely to hear from you. I now know more about you than ever I did on Trollope-l. I have a hunch I may have put some of your postings online on my website. After my book I did put some of the group reads we had on my website.
I am still an English teacher and no end in sight as yet.
Trollope-l is now a silent place mostly. I post pretty regularly but it's really me using the place as a blog.
