Julie - my wife took the photo on the beach at Deal. I like the feel of it and the colours. Coming from New Zealand, I find the little ports and seaside towns here in the Uk full of interest (well apart from the more downmarket ones).

Hi,

The URL for my review of Knowledge of Angels is http://bactra.org/reviews/knowledge-of-a... --- which workd when I checked it a moment ago, and is what I have entered here on LT. But the link is being cut-off after the "a" in "angels", for no apparent reason.

Julie, I love your mug!

Hi - I see you have recently read a book based on the Mass Observation project. Just looked at your review of the book and it seems really interesting. I keep intending to find out more about Mass Observation, and this book seems like a good starting place.

Hi, Julie

I had to come over and check out your Virginia Woolf mug. I covet that! I also covet your Age of Innocence edition. I haven't seen that cover before. Lovely.

Lähettänyt: Nickelini 1:11 am (EST) Jun 18, 2008

Hi Julie

Librivox is available world wide. I'm not very computer literate but have worked out my own way of burning CDs and putting audio onto my ipod from Librivox. I'm happy to help if you need it. I've listened to the first three chapters of Age of Innocence and the reader is excellent unlike some I've listened to. Another plus is that it's the same reader for the whole book. I think Edith Wharton lacks Tolstoy and Eliot's wit and humour which made Middlemarch and War & Peace such wonderful books. But I shouldn't judge on just three chapters.

Hi, Julie! Thanks for your message. What a cool library display! I hope you enjoy The Blood of Flowers as much as I did.

Tomorrow is the last day of school for the boys and then they'll be off for a couple of months for the summer break. They are very excited! I am excited to not have to worry about homework for awhile, but I can't believe that I will be the mother of a third- and first-grader!

Sending love to you and yours!
Jill

Thanks again for your warm welcome, Julie. I do not have the 30th anniversary booklet you mention but will look for it.

Dear Juliette,

I find your posts very thoughtful and intelligent and
so therefore, after a brief browse through your lovely
library, it was confirmed. Smart lady, small books. Your
life and family are very interesting, too!!

I'll be starting a new job at the local Barnes & Noble
in their Children's section. I see that you have The Higher
Power of Lucky. She's been on my list, among a zillion
others in the YA department.

We also share a love for A. S. Byatt. I've read her Frederica
series twice through. I had the good fortune of meeting on her
Possession tour when I lived in San Francisco.

It's been great fun in the VMC group with wonderful new members
arriving almost daily. It is more than inspiring on many levels!

Hope you're weekend is sunny!!

Warm regards,
Cate

Julie, I will be happy to see if No Signposts in the Sea is still in the shop the next time I go back--probably in a week or two--and will send it on if it is there.

Thank you for recommending Reading Globally, I have just joined and made a map from the countries I am definately sure I have read through. Now I need to do a big check of my library for any I have missed.
It's looking like being a lot of fun.

I very much liked your review. For me, though, I really, really got into Orhan Pamuk's Snow. There was no question that I found the whole book, story, and writing superb.

Maybe I felt that way because of having lived in the middle east. I am always trying to make sense out of why there cannot be more moderate Muslims - or even why moderate Muslims are heard less. Perhaps because they don't make exciting evening news items.

The theme of secularism versus fanatacism in religion pervades most religions. I think that is why Snow particularly appealed to me. I felt that it had a universal theme which struck my concern about the world as a whole. I very much worry about extremism and its implications for mankind. :(

Lähettänyt: SqueakyChu 3:06 pm (EST) Mar 29, 2008

I *loved* Orhan Pamuk's book Snow. Other people have told me they couldn't get into it.

I stayed up very late one night to finish it even though it was a long book. I thought the "snow" part of it was beautiful. I read it as a satire (although there is nothing funny, especially these days) about the struggle between the secular forces and religious forces who are trying to control the Turkish government.

I have this book circulating as a BookCrossing bookray. The book is even in UK now (Leicester, to be exact)! If you want in on it, I'll slip in quickly (before the book leaves the UK). Just let me know.

Oh you are most welcome Juliette. The Viragos groups is full of lovely people. I hope you enjoy Elizabeth and her German Garden. What a lovely book. Cheers! Maren

Hi Juliette

I am still avoiding W&P, but don't mind a bit of irony, wouldn't want to drop it on my foot though! so I'll be very good next time I post at 1001!

Your reading list for this year is very impressive. I have only read Schlink's The Reader and followed it up later with Homecoming. Both make you think.

It's Homecoming's fault that I'm in the classics. It uses the Odyssey as one of it's structural themes and my previous book the Australian Landscape of Farewell references the Iliad, which encouraged me to pick it up again, but I've diverted myself with The Golden Ass instead.

Good reading!

Am in the process of trying to find just the right book for our religion theme coming up. The Witch of Cologne is one I just found, and it may fit the bill. Got to get through with my King Arthur read at Green Dragon first.
Thanks for the invite Friend!

Julie, Thanks for recommending A Thread of Grace. It looks like it's right up my alley!

Lähettänyt: bostonbibliophile 9:58 pm (EST) Mar 7, 2008

Julie, love the idea of women and religion for a theme read. Will support you with my two-cents on Girlybooks, if I can ever catch up on all my threads. LT is addictive, and cuts into my reading time. Nice to meet you.
By the way, nohrt4me and I have been having discussions on our profile pages about the religion theme. Feel free to drop in. Sometimes I just think it's better to keep that type of chat smaller and personal. Case in point, one thread I was on went totally out of control on the subject of kids/no kids. I think some folks who started on that thread got a little disgusted and left us.
Just my opinion. Again nice to meet you.

Julie, do you mean the bookshelf photo? That's my living room. My favorite libraries are just where I like to go in my leisure time- I work in a synagogue. :-)
