Thanks for the Book of Mormon review. I sense some hurting there. Is that true? I live close to Nauvoo, so see plenty of people coming here on a pilgrimage from afar. I can see no sense to the revelations. You stated everything so well. We share 130 books. I LIKE your library.

Hello, Thanks for the Book of Mormon review. I may give that one a miss then, not having perused of it before. Have you read 'Wild Bill Hickman'and the Mormon Frontier? I like your Library by the way.

My bosom burns--yea it must be true! I myself have read the self-same book and verily was appalled. Who would follow such a ridiculous prophet and his special glasses?

Many thanks.

After re-reading your review (out loud to my ex-Mormon wife) I felt a burning in my bosom as to the truth of what I must now do, that is, add you to my interesting libraries. May you populate your own planet someday.

Fabulous review of the Book of Mormon. I needed that laugh, thank you so much!

Loved your review of the Book of Mormon! I only read part of the Book of Mormon once, but it seemed to me as if someone who wasn't a very good writer tried to write the Bible. Very, very, very, very inferior to the Bible, and simply not credible by any standard. Martha Huntley
p.s. I notice we share 29 books or something like that, including a bunch of Robert B. Parker mysteries, and Under the Banner of Heaven.

Your review of The BOM is the best parody review I've ever read. The Wittenberg Door is a quarterly magazine that would publish it, I'm almost positive, were you to submit it. Splendid satire! If there were a way to nominate it for an award here in lt.com, I would. Brilliant. You're lucky it's only the ultra nice Mormons you're spoofing. I dare you to spoof, say, The Koran. Go for it! I was one of Salman Rushdie's bodyguards way back when (see profile page logo), so I would make promise to protect you to if you like.

Isn't there an extra "a" in your name? Isn't it supposed to be T.A.N.S.T.A.F.L. (T.A. Never Sticks To Anything For Long?) Or have I got the wrong person? If so, it would be a WILD coincidence. That's not a very common acronym.

You should join the Easton Press Collectors group. there are only 5 of us now but we do have some good images of the covers. Also, most of our books are identified as easton press editions becuase they have been entered manually. Hope to see you there!

Lähettänyt: aschiavi 2:44 pm (EST) Sep 8, 2006

You have easton press books. Are you going to tag them as such or id them in any other way? I have a bunch of them and am not sure how to enter them because the have no ISBN.

I just joined the site today. I've only entered 60 books so far into my database, and we already have 21 books in common. So far we have 1/3 of my collection in common. I'll see where we're at when I loaded in a few hundred more.

I don't remember seeing used Overholsers at the Tucson bookstore I was buying from when I was in my Western accumulation stage. I never spent much money on Zane Grey books, but the Navy library in Japan had almost all of them, and I read them over and over (it was a large library space-wise, but its collection was hit-or-miss).

Hi dude,
We have 5 books in common, which makes you number one tied on my list... but that's pathetic compared to the number one on YOUR list has 544 or sth in common!!!! Well I'm in China so I couldn't remember all the ones I have in my original collection. Most of what we share are classics, which I read because I'm in China and not too many modern ones are available... just enough. My Dad read the whole of his local library when he was in Samoa, shelf by shelf.
