Livros aleatórios da biblioteca de keywestnan

Sobre mimI'm a recovering journalist, novice librarian (or library worker if you're picky about the MLS thing) and lifelong reading addict. I prefer my fiction on the realist side of the equation although I have lately fallen into a serious habit of reading historical fiction. I like narrative nonfiction, think we're in a golden age of great natural history writing for laypeople and sometimes enjoy diving into a massive historical tome or biography. I live in Key West and I'm on the board of the Key West Literary Seminar.

Sobre a minha bibliotecaThis is a mix of books I own and have read, own and haven't read or have read but don't own. My rating system: * = I hated it. ** = Not worth the time. *** = Worth the time but not really worth going out of your way for. *** 1/2 = Perfectly enjoyable read. **** = Great read. ***** = I intend to own this book for the rest of my life and would try to save my copy if my house were on fire.

And food sounds like a great topic for a literary seminar! Will you have Ruth Reichl?

When a novel is as good as Pope Joan, it doesn't take very long to read (even as long as it is) - though it may mean staying up into the wee hours when you ought to be sleeping!

Yes, Alan Gurganus was the first week, so I didn't get to hear him, which means I'm eager to play the podcast. Ironically, my computer doesn't have sound (I know, I know - long story), so I'm waiting for my husband to update his computer when the new program to replace Vista comes out. I loved, loved, loved Last Confederate Widow Tells All - it was riveting. And after reading it, you'll never say a man can't write effectively in a woman's voice again.

Hi, Nan. Thanks for mentioning the KWLS podcasts in the Historical Fiction group. I've commented about them on my blog at www.HistoricalNovels.info today. Coincidentally, I just recently heard from Miles that there are still copies of the seminar booklet available, which is full of interesting stuff.
