Tietoja minusta I am a booklover, as simple as that. It is a "disease" I caught since I learnt to read (actually even before) and I see no sign of recovery, nor do I wish to. To my great satisfaction, my book collection is constantly increasing.....one of these days, I am afraid, we will have to vacate the premises to make room for all the books! Not that the thought prevents me from buying more, of course.
Other than this, what else could I say about myself? I am an Italian transplanted in the US. My significant other is another bookworm, member of Librarything as well, and so are two of my children.

Tietoja kirjastostani Mostly literature and fiction, but also art, history and, of course, books in Italian.
I am presently working on increasing my collection of Virago Modern Classics, and I am also interested in Australian authors, particularly women.
I also have a good collection of illustrated books.

Hi Paola,

Your package just arrived with the Antonia White and the Silone. Thank you, thank you. I'm so excited.
Paola,

You've been shopping again. What fun. You've purchased some perfectly wonderful books. I hope all is well with you.

Mary
Hi, I just wanted to comment on Pilgrim's Inn by Elizabeth Goudge which I noted you recently added to your library. If you haven't read it as yet, I just wanted to let you know that it is a perfectly wonderful "comfort read". The pain felt by so many of the characters as the book opens is ultimately assuaged. The author achives a happy ending without permitting the sweetness to overpower the reality of her characters. I really like the book. It is the final volume of a trilogy (the DameRoseHay Trilogy), but I've not read the other two titles in that trilogy.

Jill
Hi Paola,

I see you've been on a Judge Dee spree lately. What fun.

Mary
Paola,

Please let me know what you think of Sacramental Magic as a cookbook.

ciao.

joyce
thanks for adding me as well. we have almost 300 books in common so i figured i would keep up with your collection!
Paola,

I'm glad you liked [Martha, Eric, and George]. I'm envious of all your first editions of Sharp. I have a few, but not as many as you do of those, two no longer have their dust jackets.
Paola,

You've been at it again. It looks like you've gone on a Rumer Godden binge. Are you sure you'll be able to keep me straight when I come to New York? You know, I'll have a difficult time being a bag lady with all my books, So many grocery carts to push around. I'll have to tie them together in one long caravan :-))
Dear Paola - so sorry. My name is Julie Mintern. The name my parents gave me was Juliette Melinda but everyone calls me Julie! Thank you so much dear friend!
ciao! grazie per avermi contattato.Ho visto che abbiamo tre libri in comune nelle nostre biblioteche.e per me sono libri bellissimi!sono il cacciatore diaquiloni,possessione e suite francese.dai messaggi che hai lasciato in giro mi sembri molto simpatica e disponibile. ho scopertoquesto sito da poco e ne sono entusiasta in quanto amo molto leggere e mi piacerebbe condividere con altri questa passione.per pigrizia ho imparato da poco a usare il computer e sono ancora molto imbranata!ciao e a presto. paola 2601.
Thank you very much for your kind comments.
Thank you for entering me on your interesting libraries list.

Cheers
Valerie
Just to let you know that your Virago anniversary booklet left Yorkshire this morning on it's way to New York. Via Airmail so hopefully it won't take too long!

Dee
Good afternoon Paola.

Would you care to join me tonight for dinner and a book?

Eric
Paola, 313 Viragos now! Wow! Only 276 behind you.
Tiffin
Yes, my book buying compulsion has gotten worse since I came here to LT--I have access to so many more recommendations from readers I admire! Thanks for stopping by my profile.
Oh - It's Karen by the way - thanks for the help. : )
Thanks for getting back to me. I am mostly interested in history or literature. Something that would give me an "insiders view" of Italy. I like to read travel memoirs but I don't think that they will necessarily give me an accurate picture of what the culture is really like or how people who live there think. I will be traveling to Florence, Venice and Positano.
aluvalibri,
Someone on the "What are you reading" thread suggested I leave you a message. I will be visiting Italy, hopefully this fall, and would like to so some reading first in order to learn more about it, learn some culture etc. Can you give me some good suggestions? Thanks --- I appreciate it.
Paola,

I may in New York in November. I have relatives from Sweden who are coming to run in the NYC Marathon. Those Swedes, they're too physically fit for their own good.
Hi Paola,

Yes, I am in the US, albeit reluctantly. I'd rather be in Sweden or Finland, or Iceland. But alas, every time I make a break for it, I find myself herded back to Tennessee or North Carolina by family obligations or remunerative work. One of these days, though, I am going to go on walk-about, leaving family, friends, colleagues, and everyone else to wonder just where in the world I am. In the meantime, like Plato, I've appointed myself gadfly of the small southern town in which I live. I looked through about half of your entire library. I’m envious. But I put several books on my wish list. Since, you are an Italian transplant, I thought you might be able to provide me a list of the best Italian authors. I have a few. And I’ve read more than actually show up in my library. My favorite 20th-century Italian author is Dacia Maraini. Her book [The Silent Duchess] is a masterpiece – a nicely layered psychological analysis, an exploration of women and silence, and women’s construction of self.

Mary
Most of my books are in Norwegian, but I've got some in English, too (Shakespeare, George Orwell, Jane Austen etc.)
Thanks for adding my library to your "interesting libraries".

kik.
Hello Paola,

I was on a Barbara Pym rampage last year and read her books. The wonderful thing is she is the sort of author to read and re-read. Her autobiography is fabulous "A Very Private Eye ...", see my library.

Jayne
Hello again, Paola! I see that you recently acquired Murder of Medici Princess. Have you read it yet? I'd love to know what you think of it, as we have similar tastes in biographies, to help me decide whether to buy it. You might also enjoy Karen Essex's historical novel about the d'Este sisters, Leonardo's Swans, which I recently finished.
Hi Paola,

Thanks for the note - maybe we'll see you there. :)

cheers,
Dawn
Hi Paola,

My name is Dawn Connolly and I am a LibraryThing member and a librarian at Toronto Public Library. I see that you have included “The Outlander” in your library. I run an online book club called Book Buzz and this month we are just getting into a discussion of the book. It’s a friendly group, very relaxed, and we’d love to hear from you, too.

Our website is: http://bookbuzz.torontopubliclibrary.ca

We are also very lucky to be hosting a live online chat with the author, Gil Adamson, on Thursday, March 27, 12 noon- 1 pm (local time). Please feel free to join in.

Thanks,
Dawn
