* * * * *
Tietoja kirjastostani"Your Books" lists only books read (or attempted). Those still sitting on a shelf awaiting time, and those I want to "get to some day" are stuck into other collections.
It's a work in progress. The books still in the house are pretty much entered except for any I happen to find tucked here and there. Books I read from the library, or have thrown out, will get entered when something tickles my memory to say, "Ah, I read that."
Anything with 'Date Read' filled in has been read or re-read since I started LT.
Ratings refer to my experience reading the book in regard to its type, not to any judgment about literary merit.
= I can't believe anyone liked this.

Congratulations for your HOT REVIEW of "Women of Algiers in Their Apartment". I really liked your review and I want to read this book. It sounds intriguing.
Well done!~!

I appreciate that. Very thoughtful of you.
I snuck a peek at a couple of the posts below because "The Hard Case Crime" books are addictive verbiage caught my eye. Then I caught "Grifter's Game" and so I wanted to ask you if you have read any of Iain Bank's books. I just finished a book of his called "The Player of Games". I read it for a challenge on the "I'll Read Yours if You Read Mine" group. Never having read a sci-fi or gaming book before, I will admit that I struggled through it, attempting to make sense of certain parts, and some I just had to allow to flow over and around me, but I quite enjoyed the read. I found it exciting and rather fascinating. Do you like that type of book? I could say I am just curious, but nosy is probably a more apropos word.
Thanx for popping over.
I will catch you on the threads Tad.

The Hard Case Crime books are addictive--easy to read in a day or two, plots just complicated enough to be entertaining, mostly driven by character and maybe a coincidence or two--sounds a lot like Harlequin romances, doesn't it? I can't get over how much I am reading this year, but I think it's mostly due to the fact that it's basically my only "entertainment" these days. I don't have cable or satellite television, movie prices are other worldly, and being reliant on public transportation to some extent limits my travels. So? I read more these days than I have since the second grade which I spent in a bed recuperating. Plus the main county library is across the street from my office, so...convenience.
In any event, I usually am reading two to four books at any given time, depending on my mood and the time available. These HCC are great for the commute to and from work!
Enjoy!

I haven't quite caught up in my thread yet with my reading, but Grifter's Game was quite entertaining: A grifter/gigilo who follows the game to its logical conclusion--and maybe twists the end. Block tells the story in basic noir style, then tweaks the ending, which is why I bumped the rating above a lot of other reviewers on the book.
I am reading all the Hard Case Crime mysteries I can find because generally they are quick, very satisfying reads--amazingly just as advertised. Right now, I'm in the middle of a Roger Zelazny (yes, that Zelazny) which is very, very good. According to his son's note at the end, it's a manuscript found by the publisher amongst Zelazny's papers, and, wow! It would be nice if there were more of these around.
So--I recommend this one by Block (I believe there's another in the HCC library, but I haven't found it yet), especially for fans of his writing.

Mark and I have been discussing the possibility of another group read in November and want your input. We have narrowed it down to two books at this point. "The People of the Book" by Geraldine Brooks and "The Thirteenth Tale" by Diane Setterfield. So chat it up with friends or us and let us know if you are up for it and what you think. Probably the same plan as with "Pillars of the Earth" which seemed to work out perfectly for almost all of us.
Think it over and give one of us a shout.
hugs and looking forward to hearing from you,

I posted a response to you on 75 Book Challenge, but given the turnover there, I thought I'd repost here.
We were talking about Cherryh and you were puzzled as to why none of her books appeared at "ThePam" library.
This is because I've/we've got two accounts -- one paid, one unpaid. PamFamilyLibrary is is where most of our books go. ThePam is just for recent History reading.
In any case, couldn't agree with you more about The Fortress series. I actually picked up the last book in the series at the library and couldn't even get up enough interest to get more than 30 pages.
Btw, I think I've got more books in common with you than anyone else at LT (most of them scifi).
Pam
ps-- I saw you read Atwood's "The Penelopiad". Did you like it?
And whether you did or didn't may I highly recommend her new book which will be coming out in September (I think). "Year of the Flood" is one of the best speculative fiction books I've read in some time. It's not so much flight of fancy as straight line extrapolation of current trends. Brilliant really.

He says that we will not discard this book, but that we will keep it on his shelves, as I was going to discard it. He says my problem with it is that I haven't spent enough time in British pubs discussing things after several beers and other alcoholic beverages.
I'm reading the books we bought on a recent narrowboating holiday. (Hired boat in Britian, none of this crossing the Channel stuff for me, thank you.) I just finished 'Boy off the cut' a fictional account of working the canals during WWII, written with younger readers in mind, but very good. Not easy to find the sequels to order, though.

"I didn't do much reading in London...I was doing the tourist thing so much that I just fell into bed, exhausted, each night."
You're kidding me! Here I was picturing you cozily ensconced in your hotel room with all that lovely time to read! :-D
I hope you had a great time. I got some reading done--but at a leisurely pace. I managed to be exhausted without sightseeing all over London. :-) I'll be starting chapter 20 today. Let me know where you are so I know how fast I have to pace myself to keep up. Right now I''m wondering how the North ever won the war, but I'm starting to gain more respect for Grant (he's not in charge yet) than I remember having when we zipped through the CW in my history classes--HS and college. McPherson seems to have respect for him.
I'm way behind on the LT threads and plan to spend some time this week catching up. Since you were out of circulation I ignored yours completely--I guess I'd better plan to catch up on that one today! I'll kick myself if you left a lot of posts about your trip! But I never saw your name--or I would have checked in. I do want to know what you saw and how you liked it. I love London!

However, my previous comment was about your statement that it appeared to be Mill's assumption that no concept of shared values has a place in society. Mill's shared value is just the concern for the well-being of others in the society. And it occurs to me there are others, for example, free equal and full comparison of opinions, etc.
I would posit, following Dewey and Whitman, that a commitment to democracy would be another shared value. I happily agree with you that Mill should be taught to every high school kid; Mill should be the received tradition, the accepted common sense of democracy.
Best Wishes,
Stuart
