I forgot I replied.

I actually just came here to leave the exact same comment. Weird.

This looks like a great group! Thanks for the invite.

ty my gud sir.

How are you? how is your life? read any interesting books lately? (recommendations?) eat any good meals? Gravity's Rainbow treating you with respect, and/or vicie versie? the companion really helping? (I wonder how much I missed...unlike what's to be mentioned in paragraph #2 [or 3 if you count the 'thank you'], I felt on track throughout the entire experience, hardly ever zoning out or feeling lost in the words like I did for Pynchon's other novels read a year or more before. Again, hmm.) By far, that was the funnest I ever had with a book, even counting those fun break books I take between meals like GR. Got to write a paper on Byron the Bulb freshman year in relation to myths like Leda and Zeus-swan and that was like, crazy fun to study. I get all geeky when GR comes up.

I read Ulysses at 16 or 17 trying hard to impress fellow high school students as well as teachers and hardly understood a word until I looked it all up later. I still don't really understand it, but respect it like a mother, and know when I re-read it years in the future, if I actually do, as I plan, and hope, and cetera, blah blah, I'll love it. Like seriously love it, not pretend to in order to flaunt about it to people who have no idea what I'm talking about. I mention all this because of your photo.

Boy, what a fun chat! Peace be with you, brooooooooo!

Thanks for inviting me to join, though my reading is mostly restricted to textile arts and some classic mystery stories. I love living in San Diego County and I love the Carlsbad Library, where I get most of my current reading matter.
Good luck with the group,
quiltartist.

I think we'll hit 50 by July! I search for "San Diego" a few times a week to check for new locals.

I just returned from out of town and noticed that you had added me as one of your interesting libraries. I'm honored, and curious as to what it is makes my library interesting to you.

I haven't read any of his work, but I feel like the genre has that problem in general. Do you have any recommendations of his work I should read? Sometimes it gets to me and sometimes it doesn't depending on how blatant it is. I mean, Hemingway is terribly misogynistic and he's one of my favorite writers.

Yep, that's my cat Mel, she tries to either head-butt the book out of my hand or cover it up by sitting on it, lol! Thanks for the welcome! : )

Thanks for starting the SD Bibliophiles and inviting me to join! Great way to see new libraries.

Thanks for the invitation to join San Diego Bibliophiles, but I just moved out of the area.

Thanks for inviting me.

Cool! I've only been to Bay Books once (being deathly afraid of that bridge). My LibraryThing evangelizing has come to nothing, I'm afraid - even with bookstore and library employees. I'm tempted to print out LT bookmarks to stick them in new books.

I thought about forming a local group a year ago but decided there weren't enough people then to keep it afloat. I hope you get a good turn-out!

Thanks for recommending Nina's Books to me. I managed to stop by there today since I was in the area anyway (and couldn't leave without a few books, of course).

Lähettänyt: chanale 6:44 pm (EST) Mar 27, 2008

Likewise! I see you enjoy the local indie bookstores. It has been years since I've been able to browse bookstore shelves (a consequence of having a small child in tow). At least with the library, I can reserve any book online and have it waiting for me up front. :)

I hope you like it!

Hi. You have an impressive library. We share 40 titles. I have to ask which novel you found more difficult: Gravity's Rainbow or Ulysses? I have read only the former and would like to have some idea as to the challenge presented by Ulysses (effort/reading time). Cheers.

Lähettänyt: appeartodisappear 12:19 pm (EST) Jul 17, 2007

Excuse my hebetude in realizing we are the only 2 to share this book. I'm sorry if this made my reply costive (1st meaning not the 2nd!) Thanks for giving me a chance to take out the book and use it! Kathy

Hello! The names in your author cloud suggest to me that you might be interested in the Book, Game & Media Swap coming up on March 6, put on by the San Diego Sci-Fi/Fantasy Meetup.
