Sobre mimI love books -- lots of kinds of books -- geology, other science, science fiction, fantasy, history, geneology, even children's literature.

Sobre a minha bibliotecaThese are books that I actually own. To see what I read, and don't necessarily own, check out my "alter ego", Harvester.

Well, that ceetainly makes it something I need to think about for the future. Maybe once I've seen how I get on with cutting down ount TBR . . .
Thanks for the invite but I don't actually bookmooch - just got a bit caught up in someone else's conversation. In fact, having just this minute signed up for the Books Off the Shelf challenge, I think it's time I did my best to aquire fewer books rather than more so I'll continue to avoid joining for a while longer. Meantime, anyone who wants to prowl my LT library is welcome.
Hi, I was just about to add 'Why is sex fun' by jared diamond and I see you have it on your wishlist. Would you like me to reserve it for you (just as soon as Bookmooch is back up for me)? Its hardback in pretty good condition.

Lorna- I now have Sizzle and Burn; This Is Your Brain on Music; and The Reality Bug that I am angeling for you and have posted them to my inventory as Angel Books #1, 2, and 3 reserved for you. I'm turtlegirl on BM.

Hi geophile! I feel badly because I only just found the welcome you gave me on my profile page. I guess I just never looked that far down. Thanks for the welcome, I am loving both Bookmooch and LT.

Angel mooch status update: Here be Dragons is in and The Reality Bug is in the mail. WooHoo. Am hoping to post for mooching by the first of December.

Lorna,
How fun! I really enjoyed Spiced- I read it not long after I read Waiter Rant and it was funny to see the differences between the stories at the front and back of the restaurant. I got Monica Ali's In the Kitchen to review, but haven't been able to get into it, I suspect because it is a fictional tale of the life of a chef which seems a little less compelling than the non-fiction one was. I suspect I'll enjoy it more after I cleanse my pallette a bit!
Thanks for the note.
Colleen
Thanks for snagging - or at least trying to snag - the Tao of Watercolor book :) Hopefully that's a newbie that'll stick around!
I heard back from her and she is planning to mail on Friday, so it's not a major delay.
Hi Geophile,

I got a message this morning from the sender of Across the Wall: A Tale of the Abhorsen and Other Stories stating that there will be a delay in sending. It was marked "in a few days". I emailed and asked how long they estimate it will be, and will let you know when I get a response.
Hi Mom,

I've decided to look for books for Tim as he now is feeling good enough to read, although still in hospital/long term care full time for the forseeable future. He is interested in learning how the world works, (in his words). I think pop science is a preferred genre, although it could be other things. He says he is not particularly interested in psychology.

I had blindly got him Bill Bryson, a Short History of Nearly Everything, which was a big hit, and within a week he is almost finished this book. So I want to help him with his reading list by getting him stuff from the library or used bookstores.

I have held at the library for his perusal:

Stephen Hawking, A briefer History of Time, and one other book of his.

Richard Dawkins, The God Delusion (not directly on topic but I am pretty sure will appeal)

2 Jay Ingram books.

Oliver Sacks, Musicophilia - I am thinking of loaning him my copy, although this might miss as he says he is not into the psychology, plus music is a sore spot as he can't play an instrument at present and has lost his perfect pitch.

Any others you think might be enjoyable for him based on this information?

Love, Karen
