I haven't seen this before but someone out there is going to tell me that I haven't look hard enough.

I will add a book title/author from someone's Library that I really am intersted in reading and the owner of that library

Then someone searches my library and adds a book that is interesting to them.

The last entry is always the library that the next person searches to find a book that they would be interested in reading.

So on and so on

Got it?

From Karenmarie's library I will pick...(hold on I am looking). Guess I just took too long to pick a book.

Let the game begin....

I've never read Chariots of Fire, in fact, never thought of reading it. I've seen the movie, though, does that count? So, I'd choose Chariots of Fire from callmejacx's library.

Of course it counts. I have heard of the movie but never the book. I was surprised when it appeared on my shelf.

From the huge library of chrisiquc, I've selected Down the River.

I am choosing Emma by Jane Austen from Sandydog's library. In fact, I have this book on order at the library, so I will be reading it next week.

Clan of the Cave Bear from DeltaQueen50's library. it's been sitting on the shelf for a while. and Dawn of Empire, because DQ50 has some good books, and i'm greedy.

From the library of destinyhascheatedme, I choose The Name of the Wind by Patrick Rothfuss.

I'll pick The Queen's Slave Trader: John Hawkyns, Elizabeth I, and the Trafficking in Human Souls by Nick Hazelwood. It sounds fascinating.

Mensagem editada pelo seu autor, Jun 19, 2009, 12:49pm.

I choose Complete Sherlock Holmes from bosile4ka's library.

I think I would pick The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. I really should read more classics.

From Djay666 I pick Child 44 by Tom Rob Smith. I have seen lots of good comments on this one.

It's great to see some more "new faces"! I'm back to peruse the library of christiquc. I've selected that classic, The story of art.

From Sandydog's library I would choose Outliers by Malcolm Gladwell.

Aw, no, another 2,000+ library to look at. I just have to jump right back in! From nzurisana's library, I pick The fierce and beautiful world.

Farley Mowat

From Sandydog, I would choose One River by Wade Davis since I enjoyed his The Serpent and the Rainbow. This one looks like it would be just as fascinating.

From christiquc's library I would pick One Across, Two Down since it's been several months since I last read a mystery, and I always enjoy Ruth Rendell.

from nzurisana huge library my first pick will be Hole in the Wall by Richard Rhodes. I haven't heard of Richard Rhodes but I feel that his story would be interesting. I have placed in on my "wish list".

I'm trying to make the touchstones work, let's see if this does it Otherwise, we'll just do without.

Mensagem editada pelo seu autor, Jun 26, 2009, 3:03pm.

Mensagem editada pelo seu autor, Jul 9, 2009, 11:13am.

Alrighty then...I shall skip Roland's library and go back to PaperbackPirate's and will have to pick Don Quixote by Miguel De Cervantes. Husband says I will like the book and the this Quixote guy is a romantic like him. Hmmmmm

From callmejacx's library I have chosen The Bite of the Mango by Mariatu Kamara.

From alcottacre's library I have chosen The British Museum Is Falling Down by David Lodge because it sounds like a lot of fun.

I would love to read A Summer In the Twenties by Peter Dickinson from LizzieD's library. I love mysteries, and Peter Dickinson wrote one of my favorite books - The Kin.

From DeltaQueens Library 84, Charing Cross Road by,Helene Hanff .

I have never had the pleasure to look at susiesharp's library. I didn't get that far either. I will have to pick the first book Alone by Lisa Gardner. I have read a few of hers and haven't read one that I didn't enjoy. Susie rated it high so I will assume it is one I won't regret reading.

From callmejacx's library Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell: A Novel Susanna Clarke

From susiesharp, I'd choose Garden Spells by Sarah Addison Allen. It looks like a book I would enjoy, and it is just enough outside of my usual fare that I would be discovering something new.

I pick Sunflower by Rebecca West from christuquc's library. I don't think I've read any of her stuff.

Mensagem editada pelo seu autor, Jul 23, 2009, 9:43pm.

Baghdad without a Map and Other Misadventures in Arabia by Tony Horwitz sounds funny and informative so that's my choice from Sandydog1's library

From grelobe's library there's a book I've been meaning to read for quite some time: On the Road by Jack Kerouac.

From djay666's library I choose the mystery/thriller "Free To Trade" by Michael Ridpath

From Catgwinn's library, I choose The Woman in White by Wilkie Collins.

From Lynxie's library, I would pick The Children of Henry VIII by Aiison Weir. I read her book about the wives awhile ago, and would be great to follow more of the story.

From CNeedham's library, I choose The Ghost Map, a book I have been meaning to read for a while now.

From alcottacres library I choose The Uncommon Reader, I think I'm ready to read something light and who doesn't enjoy, from time to time, having a wee laugh at Lizzie II's expense. I'm impressed that alcottacres has read it twice :-)

Mensagem editada pelo seu autor, Jul 26, 2009, 6:13am.

From Kimb's library I'd like to read Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West.

love your library Narilka! I choose a book that I've meant to read but never have The Mists of Avalon

From kcs_hiker's library I would choose Building Background Knowledge For Academic Achievement: Research On What Works In Schools. This seems to be a follow-up to Hirsch's Cultural Literacy, a book I have admired.

From the library of nzurisana, I chose Paradise.

@#%%$$$**&#@! touchstone isn't working.

(Oops, sorry I'm acting so impatient.)

It's the book about east Africa, perhaps Zanzibar.

Here it is! Again, from the library of nzurisana, I chose this book:

Paradise

From Sandydog1's library I'd choose The Beak of the Finch: A Story of Evolution in Our Time. A Pulitzer Prize Winner. Looks like a very good examination of evolution.

I would like to choose Half A Yellow Sun by Chimamanda Ngozi from KimB's library. It's on my wishlist and have heard many good things about it.

From KimB's library I choose The Solid Mandala by Patrick White because it's already on my own Mt. Bookpile. (I didn't choose The Healthy Liver and Bowel Book.......sheesh, Kim!)

Thought I better return the favour since 140 & 141 were similtaneously posted.

Delta Queen50- I'd choose The Linnet Bird: A Novel since it's been on my Mount TBR for far too long. By the way great choice on Half a Yellow Sun great book imho.

LizzieD - Music and Silence since I've heard good things about this and it's been on my wishlist for a while. Also it has nothing to do with bowel care, despite the title :-)
PS Lizzie I hope you don't one day regret that you didn't choose The Healthy LIver and Bowel Book. LOL

Small Island by Andrea Levy caught my eye while I was perusing KimB's library. It looks wonderful.

AMQS has Death Comes for the Archbishop, and I've never read that one, but I would like to.

From cmbohn's library I choose "Losing Ground" by Catherine Aird.

From catgwinn's library The 19th Wife by,David Ebershoff

Well, I was really leaning towards My lobotomy. But instead, from Susie's library, I've picked The Bad Behavior of Belle Cantrell.

from Sandydog1's library
Jungle: a Harrowing True Story of Survival by Yossi Ghinsberg

Mensagem editada pelo seu autor, Jul 29, 2009, 10:25am.

Got lost in grelobe's library for awhile, but I think I'd choose Chess Story - even the author's personal story seems tragic.

From Tiddleyboom's library I would like to read The Thin Man by Dashiel Hammett. I love the William Powell/Myrna Loy movies and would like to read the original work.

Not read too many historical fiction novels but it's a genre I seem to be beginning to enjoy. Therefore I'll choose Bernard Cornwell's The Archer's Tale from DeltaQueen50's library.

I'm going to try Myth Conceptions by, Robert Asprin from djay 666 library.

it sounds interesting to my ear The Bloody White Baron The Extraordinary Story of the Russian Nobleman Who Became the Last Khan of Mongolia by James Palmer; from susiesharp's library

From grelobe's library, I've selected Ask the Dust.

From Sandydog's library I have chosen The Darkest Jungle: The True Story of the Darien Expedition and America's Ill-Fated Race to Connect the Seas by Todd Balf. It's a piece of history I know nothing about and the book sounds fascinating.

From nzurisana's library I've chosen THE GYPSIES: THEIR LIFE, LORE, AND LEGENDS by Konrad Bercovici because I found a Gypsy ancestor in my family tree. He was convicted of stealing a horse and was transported as a convict to Tasmania in 1835. Leaving all his family behind in England. It's made me interested in Gypsy ways.

# 156 KimB How interesting. My favorite writer on gypsy life is Jan Yoors who ran away from home at the age of 12 and lived among gypsies for the next 10 years.

Certainly an author I want to check out would be Neal Stephenson so I have no hesitation in selecting Cryptonomicon from KimB's library.

So much fun looking through a boy library! I saw a few books I'd like from djay666's collection, but the one that made me smile was V by A.C. Crispin. I loved watching that series with my dad when I was a kid!

Argghh mateys! From the library of PaperbackPirate I chose A Pirate of Exquisite Mind. In fact it may already be in me TBR list.

Little,Big by John Crowley from Sandydog1's library

From susiesharp, I'd pick Over the Edge by Jonathan Kellerman. I've never read anything by him, and this looks like a particular one I'd like.

Wow, from christiquc's exquisite library, I would like to read The Post-Office Girl by Stefan Zweig. It has been on my book mooch list for quite some time!

From saratoga99's recently added titles, I choose "Secret Keepers" by Mindy Friddle. Interesting title and cover.

Wow, almost a week has passed by! From the library of Catgwinn, I've selected The Tenant of Wildfell Hall.

I'll pick The Confessions by Jean Jacques Rousseau from Sandydog1's library. It was a hard choice. I never got past the profile page, and spotted several interesting books.

From baoyu's books I'll pick Spice: The History of a Temptation. It's been on my TBR pile for tooooo long ;-)

From KimB, I'd choose Small Island, as that's an Orange I've been wanting to read.

From callmejacx's library I've chosen Diary of a Provincial Lady by E.M. Delafield. I have a copy but have never gotten to it.

I have a feeling you are right LizzieD

From LizzieD, I choose Guns, Germs, and Steel.

From cmbohn's library, I'll choose Lament for a Lady Laird because I need another mystery series in my life. ;)

Mensagem editada pelo seu autor, Ago 12, 2009, 11:04am.

From Jennieg's library I choose The Children's Blizzardby, David Laskin..I haven't heard of this book and I should have since I'm a librarian in ND!

From susie's library, I've chosen The Bloody White Baron. It looks fascinating. Maybe we both will get around to reading it!

from Sandydog1's library my choice is Before the Dawn: Recovering the Last History of Our Ancestors by Nicholas Wade

I've never read any of Franz Kafka's books so Amerika would be my selection from grelobe's library.

Oh! No question!!! ---Wolfy has Roberto Bolano's The Savage Detectives, and that's what I want. (I really do! I'm waiting for the price to come down or to score a copy at pbs.)

From LizziD's modest library (LOL!), I stopped perusing and finally chose Night.

I'm going from Sandydog1's library, since I suspect Jenster mis-posted.

My choice looks like a must have!

Among the Gently Mad: Perspectives and strategies for the Book-Hunter

Mwahahaha
*manic, mad, evil (in a good way) laugh*

ETA some commas, tee hee

Mensagem editada pelo seu autor, Ago 14, 2009, 5:38am.

From KimB's library I would like to read all about Alaska. Having made a short visit there some years ago I think delving into its history would be fascinating.

Michener always provides a good read, he always starts a few thousand years ago. I think Alaska started with the Land bridge between the two continents. So all you need is an ice-age and you can get from Alaska to Siberia or vice versa.
From AHS-Wolfy's library I choose Nice Girls Finish Last, it's already friday here and I'm feeling light-hearted.

I'll pick Sexing the Cherry from KimB's library becuase I've never heard of the author and LT thinks I'll like it.

I'm picking Oklahoma!: The Making of an American Musical from jennieg's collection even though she gave it only one star. I'll let you know what I think.

From suitable1's library I choose Sherri Tepper's Beauty Touchstones came up with wrong book.Just finished Beastly so might as well continue with this theme!

Mensagem editada pelo seu autor, Ago 14, 2009, 11:09am.

from susiesharp's library, The Bad Behavior of Belle Cantrell, by Loraine Despres. I read The Scandalous Summer of Sissy LeBlanc and really enjoyed it.

From SDargusch library I'll pick A Confederacy of Dunces, it's on the 1001 list that I'm reading from, it won the pulitzer prize for fiction and I saw it in the bookshop yesterday and was almost tempted ;-)

for continuing my memoir list I choose My Life As a Traitor by Zarah Ghahramani from KimB ' s library

I'd like The Siege of Krishnapur by J.G. Farrell from grelobe's library (another one that's on my rl Mt. Bookpile). (I also enjoyed the quotation from it in the profile.)

From LizzieD's library I'll pick Annals of the Former World by John McPhee. Geology and natural science sound great. I was tempted by the title of another book, Mysteries of Paris : The Quest for Morton Fullerton, but I couldn't find anything out about it, except that it's a biography. Does anybody know it?

From Baoyu's libraryThe Last Witchfinder: A Novel (P.S.) by James Morrow..Sounds really interesting!

I would like to read some Brandon Sanderson so will pick Warbreaker from susiesharp's library.

I would certainly choose Neither here nor there: travels in Europe by Bill Bryson from AHS-Wolfy's library.

From Phlox' library, I'd choose Dead Man's Folly by Agatha Christie as I'm shamefully unfamiliar with many of Dame Agatha's books.

Mensagem editada pelo seu autor, Ago 18, 2009, 11:58am.

So many possibilities but I think I will select Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury from chrisitiguc's library.

Lets post this in the right talk this time LOL.Since we share 52 books was hard to decide but I've been meaning to read Witches Abroad by Terry Pratchett so thats what I picked from AHS-Wolfy

From susiesharp's library I'd like to read Good Omens by Neil Gaiman. I still cant believe I haven't read any Neil Gaiman books yet. Keep meaning too.

After an interesting snoop through Narilka's library, I decided that Cat's Letters to Santa looked like a fun read.

From sqdancer's collection, I choose
"The Last Best West: Women on the Alberta Frontier 1880-1930" by Elaine Leslau Silverman

From Catgwinn's library I chose A Grave Talent by Laurie R. King. It sounds like a good police procedural. I love mysteries and have heard Laurie King's work praised many times here on LT.

I think I'll take Half of a Yellow Sun by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie from DQ50's library because it's been on my wish list at pbs for some little time now.

I want to read more from Haruki Murakami so I will pick The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle as that is on my wishlist anyway.

#205: Autumn Bridge looks very good and would be my choice from AHS-Wolfy's library.

Cormac McCarthey's The Road keeps popping up on my Amazon recommendations page so that makes it a fairly easy pick from hojeb's library.

From AHS-Wolfy's library I would like to chose Notes From A Small Island by Bill Bryson. It sounds like something I would enjoy.

I'll choose The Endless Knot from DeltaQueen's library, because I don't have enough mystery series in my life!

Callmejaccx has a great wish list! From her library I chose Fabulous Fallacies: More Than 300 Popular Beliefs That Are Not True.

once I read an extract of Brazilian Adventure by Peter Fleming in my English grammar excercise and I liked it; but at the moment I lean toward News From Tartary : A Journey from Peking to Kasmir always by Peter Fleming

I hope no one minds me jumping right back in. I've selected The Art of Travel from grelobe's library.

By the way grelobe, you have a beautiful virtual Springer Spaniel. I just hope it doesn't chew up any of my many virtual books!

You've got a great library Sandydog1, I dont think anyone would mind choosing from it multiple times :-)
I think I'll choose The Unbearable Lightness of Being, it keeps hovering on top of my Mount TBR.

From KimB's library I pick Enchantress of Florence by Salman Rushdie - it stays on my TBR pile since a week after it got initially published and I keep leaving it behind.

From Annie's library I would pick The Dresden Files: Welcome to the Jungle by Jim Butcher as I've been thinking about getting hold of this to see how the story translates to the graphic novel.

From AHS-Wolfy's library I would bick Attack of the Unsinkable Rubber Ducks by Christopher Brookmyer. The name just sounds to good not to give it a try.

From susiesharp's library I select Alone by Lisa Gardner - sounds interesting and I am always in the search for a new mystery series anyway :)

I just had to jump back in when I saw this one from grelobe's collection!

Man Meets Dog

It's going on my TBR pile and I'm gonna keep an eye out for a copy.

Sandydog, Jump back in all you like for it gave me an opportunity to select The Master and Margarita by Mikhail Bulgakov from your library.

From AHS-Wolfy, I'm going to pick The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho. One of those "I've been meaning to get" books.

From edumke's library I would pick The Autobiography of Henry VIII: With Notes by His Fool, Will Somers by Margaret George - had been on my "To buy" list for the last year and a half at least and gets always bumped down from something else

Oh! from AnnieMod's library this looks good: Palimpsest by Catherynne Valente

From Susiesharp's library I really, really want to read The Sugar Queen by Sarah Addison Allen. I just loved her first book Garden Spells.

From grelobe's library I pick The Bloody White Baron by James Palmer. I noticed that title a while ago and it looks fascinating. (I've got to stop choosing new books before I finish the old one!)

I’d like to add Crime and Society in England, 1750-1900 from baoyu’s library.

> 227, Excellent choice; Of all the books I've ever read about machine gun-toting talking cats, Pontius Pilate, Soviet bureacracy and flying naked witches - this one's the best!

>235, It's been years since I've read Good Dirt. It was a bit sophomoric, but if 1/4 of those experiences were true, it was on helluva story!

From the library of Porua, I've got to choose Bleak House. It was recently covered by the LT "Group Reads - Literature" Group.

From Sandydog1's library I choose Candide by Voltaire.

Back again to choose The Book of Negroes by Lawrence Hill from lkernagh's library. I'm off to Amazon to see whether I can afford this one!

From grelobe's library I chose Franny and Zooey. Time for a little Salinger...

I didn't have to look very far in the sdog's library to find Encounters with the Archdruid by John McPhee.

My first choice is In Xanadu a Quest by William Dalrymple

From Grelobe's library I would like to chose Nowhere In Africa by Stefanie Zweig for two reasons. Firstly it sounds like an interesting book, and secondly, I am searching for an author whose name begins with Z for my alphabet challenge.

It is on my wishlist, and DeltaQueen50 gave it five stars: Beneath a Marble Sky by John Shors.

I did not have to look far in saratoga99's library. She recently added A Book of Days for the Literary Year by Neal T. Jones. I'd like to add it to my wishlist because I'm a sucker for trivia.

PS: Whoever chooses from my library, if you use my recommended style, the titles of the Bulgarian books will show up as a column (the Work: Title and Author column). A good number of these are actual English books :)

I went to a 25 cent book sale yesterday! It must have been a good day for cheap book sales.

From annie1378's library I choose The Time Traveler's Wife by Audrey Niffenegger... a lot of interesting discussion here in LT about it which has intrigued me.

From Ikernagh's library I want The Black Tower by Louis Bayard. It's one of my favorite genre's, historical mystery and it received five stars from Ikernagh.

from Cat(beaware of my virtual dog)gwinn's library I choose Memoires of a Geisha by Arthur Golden

from grelobe, I've been considering reading Grisham's novels, and so I'd have to go with A Time To Kill since that's his first, and I tend to read books in the order written unless there's a reason for a different sequence (like Clancy, some of his books don't take place in the order written).

From ThrillerFan, I'd choose Excavation by James Rollins as I've never read anything by him and this looks like a good one. (Also, I need to find some good thrillers as I've been ignoring that area of my library for a few months!)

In christiguc's cavernous library I found "Ella Minnow Pea: A Novel in Letters" by Mark Dunn. I'm really looking forward to reading this. =)
