Salley Vickers (isn't that just the most English name?) has written a book called "The Other Side of You," a mystical story of 2 characters who find a love together through the art of Caravaggio (sp?). It reminds me that I want to read more of her.Riverlarkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03406533305728808100noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4307989857819252647.post-36533104580445054242007-07-13T19:48:00.000-04:002007-07-13T19:48:00.000-04:00E, I look forward to seeing your responses.

My favorite book of all time---read when I was a teenager and 10,000 books later, it can't be beat---is well known: "Housekeeping" by Marilynne Robinson. <BR/><BR/>E.Eerohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05472143513366315584noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4307989857819252647.post-88549951510699643352007-07-13T12:16:00.000-04:002007-07-13T12:16:00.000-04:00This was so fun.

When I discovered that I could search for, order and be notified via the internet about books (and DVDs!), I was thrilled. Like I'd just discovered something that has been around since Ben Franklin!Riverlarkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03406533305728808100noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4307989857819252647.post-25630766189196996812007-07-13T09:31:00.000-04:002007-07-13T09:31:00.000-04:00You're right, RL, I've never heard of Fugitive Pie...You're right, RL, I've never heard of Fugitive Pieces, but I'll be on the lookout for it.<BR/><BR/>One of the reasons I'm using my library much more now (other than lack of funds ;-) ) is that I can check online to see if a book is available and then put it on hold electronically. They send me an email when it's ready for pick-up.<BR/><BR/>As for "dipping," there are books I've been "dipping" into for years!Clarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04838656854709586779noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4307989857819252647.post-68307935500507372542007-07-13T09:19:00.000-04:002007-07-13T09:19:00.000-04:00BG, I was just talking with friends about books we...BG, I was just talking with friends about books we love, books we reread and whether we can read more than one book at a time. I used the word "dipping" to describe the way I often read non-fiction books...and thought I'd just made it up! Then I find you use it here. Weird.<BR/>My favorite book that no one knows: Fugitive Pieces by Anne Michaels (though my Amazon check shows a movie picture on the front cover...news to me). It was so real to me that I searched for the main character's books when I was done!<BR/>I've been buying way too much lately. Time to go back to the library!Riverlarkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03406533305728808100noreply@blogger.com
