Sobre mim11/10/07~~I'm a 67-year-old woman who loves to read. Besides reading, I enjoy figure skating shows, crossword puzzles, on-line jigsaw puzzles, collecting sea shells, and music--not necessarily in that order. My favorite singer is Dan Fogelberg, followed closely by Andrea Bocelli and Waylon Jennings. I am a big Jerry Lewis fan. I have 3 grown offspring, 10 grandchildren and even great grandchildren -- 9 at last count.
05/09/09~~The beautiful young woman and the gorgeous baby in my profile pic are my older daughter Deanie's older child and only grandchild.
08/13/09~~I was pretty much blue today, as it would have been Dan Fogelberg's fifty-eighth birthday. May he rest in peace.
10/20/09~~Now I am 69 years old.
Sobre a minha biblioteca11/10/07~~"Salmagundi" is the only way to describe my library. My daughter, DeanieG, is also using LibraryThing, which we laughingly refer to as "LiberryThang," and we have many books in common. My favorite book is The Fantasy Worlds of Peter Beagle, followed closely by A Confederacy of Dunces.
11/16/08~~I finally got around to going through my library and tagging those I've read. I may have missed some. Also, I didn't tag mathematics, computer programming or sociology books, along with most other nonfiction. I wish I had all the books I've read but have given some away, some belonged to others, some were borrowed and never returned, etc. I have enough unread books to keep me busy for a while, yet I keep buying more.
05/08/09~~I feel compelled to say that, though I have books marked as "Oprah's Book Club," that is not the reason I bought them. I don't watch Oprah and have, in fact, almost not bought a book because of that. Silly, I know, but I cannot help it. ‹(^¿^)›
07/19/09~~I surely do like the Collections feature. As you can guess, at my age I've read hundreds of books that I either once or never owned. Some books I've remembered on my own, and others have been called to mind by my looking through OP's libraries -- an excellent memory jogger. :-)
09/14/09~~Equally as silly as not liking people to think that the only reason I bought a book was because of Oprah: when I order a book, not even knowing that it was made into a movie, and receive said book with a cover indicating a movie tie-in, instead of the one that was shown. I suppose the text is still the same. lol
10/20/09~~I just received three more books from my daughter, DeanieG. Yay! I've lost track of how many books she's given me over the years, but she's the only one who does that. Thank you.
12/09/09~~This has nothing to do with my library, but in the TPBM thread, I said I would post a recipe for muffins that would be okay for diabetics. It is the basic recipe on the Malt-O-Meal package, with a couple of modifications. You don't have to like Malt-O-Meal to like these muffins.
3/4 cup Malt-O-Meal
1-1/4 cups flour
1/2 cup honey substitute (sugar-free) ~ substituted for sugar
3/4 cup milk ~ I used 2% but think 1% or skim would work.
2 TBS vegetable oil ~ instead of 1/4 cup
1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce ~ to replace part of oil
1 egg
1 TBS baking powder ~ see below
1/2 tsp salt ~ I used self-rising flour, instead of baking power and salt.
1 tsp vanilla
1 tsp ground cinnamon ~ Not in original recipe but if you like cinnamon, this is a nice addition.
Grease 12-cup muffin pan or use baking cups (easier clean-up) and fill each cup 3/4 full.
400 F oven, 18-20 minutes
NOTE: Whole wheat flour would be even better for diabetics, but I don't have any. The usual is to substitute half of the white flour for whole wheat, but I think straight whole wheat flour would work here, as it works okay for oatmeal cookies. Not sure if it comes in self-rising, so you might need the baking power and salt.

Yes, I do get sick of political correctness. I, however, buy into some of it, self-protectively or as courtesy.

Coincidentally, maybe, my birthday is October 20. I am, however, 65.

I'm using IE on a Windows XP Pro OS.
This line should have the strike-through in it.
If it doesn't, then it's been disabled for messages, but not in the Talk threads.

You just show up and be yourself, that's the only requirement.

in re: symbolism, i feel sure i miss most of it. *sigh* i need to read a book on how to read books. i know there is one. i'm just not sure how i'd do with that on audio.
i just started a penelope lively book--adore penelope lively--and know that just in the first chapter i'm missing vast heaps of significant thises and thats and am trying very hard to listen closely to what she's doing. uh, the book is [heat wave]. i haven't read a review. i just sort of stumbled on it and snapped it up because it's lively. er, Lively.
i'm a great fan of mary renault and there's an opening scene in one of her books that has always just grabbed me visually. it wasn't until years after i'd first read it and after i'd read it probably 20 times that i read wossname's biography and he talks about her infatuation with theatre and specifically, the opening of that book and her use of staging, lighting and other devices to set a scene. i'd always visualized it so clearly and it never occurred to me, dunce that i am, that it was being literally set up as one might a theatrical scene. almost more a movie scene, really, than stage theatre with the movement of the narrator's, and reader's attention into the setting and, ultimately, into our introduction to the main character in her world, which was as a probationer in the hospital in england circa 1938-38. based on renault's work as a nurse in oxford's infirmary.
just finished connie willis' [doomsday book], a time-travel novel [hugo and nebula award winner] set in oxford in 2050 and oxford in the 1300's. i usually don't like time travel novels as i get caught up in the potential flaws but i was quite riveted by the end and felt she ended it well, which i was afraid, for a while, she wouldn't.
i recommend it if you like well-researched books on that period. the major flaw for me was that one never got a feeling, as one does from, say, austen, of the degree to which women either labored constantly or did nothing on a daily basis.
but i meander. off and away.

I would absolutely be honored if you would join Le Salon Litteraire. Every salon, in my humble opinion, needs a Boobalack. You are a crackup my dear! (And I hope I'm not being too forward by calling you "my dear").
Very very best!

there's a large, diverse selection so i'm guessing that's what it is. if i see one posted, i'll ask the owner. :)

uh, the only example i can think of is the book 'p. s. your cat is dead' in which it means, well, "p.s." as in 'post script' or 'by the way.' are there other examples?

and i'm delighted to see that you're a fan of peter beagle. the battle with the tent in 'i see by my outfit' made me laugh till i was nearly sick the first time i read it when i was, i suppose, in my 20's.
you don't seem to read fantasy at all but you might at least consider something by terry pratchett. i don't read fantasy anymore but i read pratchett. also neil gaiman's [graveyard book] is one i read somewhere around the time of [all quiet] which had smashed me quite flat. i listened to the tape as i can't really read books anymore and he narrates it himself. one of those rare authors who make good narrators. it's a very good book. in my opinion. it has changed the way i feel around graveyards. i've always liked graveyards anyway, though i feel no inclination to grace one with my presence. after reading 'graveyard book', though, i'm even more respectful of all that history beneath and around me than i was before.
i'm 65 last january 8. :)

also a query: notice you recently added a book called 'the kindly ones.' isn't that how the fates, or was it the furies, were referred to by the ancient Greeks in order not to irk them? furies, i think.
was it terribly grim? I'm interested in WWII as my dad was a medic during the battle of the bulge.
thanks.

i envisioned someone taking on the responsibility of a baby, that is, a child, after taking a correspondence course in astrology wherein she is directed by the stars and planets to give birth or adopt or some such thing.
it struck me as terribly droll. i had an entire scenario in my mind. apparently, other people's minds don't work as mine do. i expect folks will have trouble with my last response too, and the last of mrs. rochester, as it's probably my mind working strangely again.
actually, that's one of the things i love about this game--seeing how people's minds work and trying to move my thinking outside the box.
anyway, delighted you asked. :)
and i highly recommend _the bachelor brothers' b & b_ if you like humor, irreverence, book talk, crazy characters and don't require action. it's short and it's a riot.
cheers!
