hello. is the book circle request list the ones available? or ones people are looking for?

srnity:

The Glass Castle by Jeannetee Walls perhaps
It's in our library here at the Books Fellowship

Check above to the requesty lists
If this is the book you want I have it here at home and can send it to you

Did you read the Dark Tower Series? by SK

someone recommended to me not long ago, can't remember the author or title, but it is definately newer, I believe it's about abuse of some sort or another, the author is definately a woman, and it has an odd sort of title....Ring a bell with anyone? I'm stumped...

Also, just so you know, Stephen King and comedic author Dave Barry are very good friends, Dave talks about King all throughout his non-fiction books and they are in a band together (I'm racking my brain trying to remember the name of the group, it'll come to me and I'll get back)

ajtgirl: Yes, yes, yes...blew me away...I've always told my elder son he should read "The Stand" someday when he found the time (he doesn't have much) & when he bought it home from the library last month, to my surprize it was different! The first edition published in 1978 was edited by Stephen King due to the publishers insistence that it was too long, so it was cut some 500 pages (he had the choice to do it himself or let the publisher do it, so he did, thank goodness)...The "complete and uncut edition" was done in 1991 & even tho I'm only a quarter of the way into it, it's different, really different, much more indepth, the way King intended it to be from the get-go, I guess.....I'm in my glory right now, if I could not go to work I'd read it from start to finish.....I also LOVE Stephen King, a very, very talented writer

srnity:

I have read everything Stephen King has ever written
Not that I can quote from them or remember every single story
But I love his writings
First time I read The Stand I had just moved to NYC and the scene in the tunnel under the river was frightfully real to me.
I could really visualize it having been in those places. 
Every book he writes is special to me...He is one person I would love to sit down and have a talk with
Are you telling me that the first edition of  The Stand was edited and I did not read the real thing?

Hi - believe it or not, my first time stopping by, even tho I'm an avid reader. For those of you who read the original Stephen King novel "The Stand" way back when...Have any of you read the "uncut" version done in the 1990's? I'm in the midst of it now and loving the story all over again

The Narrow Path to the Depth (Oku no Hosomichi, 奥の細道) by Matsuo Bashou?

Dolittle: Thanks very much!

Mousetrap:Try this site, they sell new or used books.
http://www.alibris.com

amandalove: They are called car boot sales here and are held in designated places userally a field or a car park. Garage sales at home are not allowed here.
It depends where it is from on e-bay. I bought a book publised in the USA cheaper in spite of pp and delivered within a week. Here they wanted 4 to 6 weeks delivery time and their cut for ordering.
I enjoy the library sales, there is one tomorrow uptown and I,ll be there lol!
I think Amazon is expensive. There is a site called Play.com which sells nearly everything including books and pp is free here I donno if it would be free in the USA.

Mousetrap: ohhhhhhhhh now i understand. do you have "garage sales" in your country? that is were people sell their belongings from there home. anyway that is usually a good place to find books, and our librarys here will have 'book' sales. on ebay and amazon you still have to pay for shipping.

amandalove: Noooo lol! 50p is our money like 50c is yours.
I bought a book for 50p off e-bay and was looking for more is what I meant.

Mousetrap: what do you mean.."trying to get 50p ? try Amazon.com

I have finished 4 books in a series by Alexander McCall Smith...about a lady detective agency in Africa. Have also finished Cane River by Lalita Tademy if anyone is interested.

Anyone recommend any good non fiction books they have read? I am hooked on trying to get stuff for 50p on e-bay at the moment lol!

Bwild:I think Baddessi still has Songs in Ordinary Times and One Thousand White Women. If you will contact her, I am sure she will send them to you!

ajtgirl: My paws won,t reach that far to put it on the shelf but if you mean for the circle you would be lucky if you ever got it from here unless I paid the highest postage which is the resgistered one it would be far cheaper to just buy it or go to the library there lol!

baddessi: LOL! Well they both look good! I never heard of that intergration happening in the USA before and the Songs book reminds me of Catherine Cookson.

Mousetrap: ok, thanks : )

Someone will want them..maybe I'll just mail them to someone and surprise them

baddessi: Thanks! Nice of you to offer but I think One Thousand White Women might be a bit too expensive to keep and I can,t even sing at all never mind Songs in Ordinary time.

I have finished 2 books
One Thousand White Woman
and
Songs in Ordinary Time

both very good reads...anyone want me to send them their way????

Mousetrap: I like new and different things. I'm glad you talk abuot them. If you didn't, I wouldn't know about them.

baddessi: Another good one written in an humourous way is The Sex Lives of The Popes by Nigel Cawthorne, he wrote a series of them not sure I can repeat them on here though lol!
Actually he is very good. I know I know I read some strange books!

Mousetrap: I didn't know about that book either..thanks for telling us about it

ajtgirl: Its by Michael L. Brown and is about the church and the persecution of the Jewish people.
The book is Our Hands Are Stained With Blood.

Mousetrap:Haven't read that one but it does sound interesting.

I have just finish Our Hands are Stained with Blood, it was very interesting. Anyone read that?

ScarletRose: I already edited the list to show that you have Swan. Hope you enjoy it!
It is exciting to see more people interested in reading!

Got the book Swan the other day Atjgirl.. forgot to tell you then.. been reading it.. :) Thanks!

瀬人様: Being a mouse I don,t really like to talk about this err subject but if I must, my favourite cat story is The Cat that Walked by Himself, the further away the better imo but its from the Jungle book.

瀬人様:

Wonderful
Is it translated into English?

Mousetrap:

I am so delighted that you have fond memories of Charles Dickens' writings.
Being deaf, they must have been quite an education in elocution
He was one wordy fellow and with a sharp wit, indeed.

God bless you
I am still reading Hard Times

I read the first two books. Very interesting indeed. I would like to read a conversation between Garfield and the Cat from the Book... Or find Kon Ichikawa's film adaptation!!!

Mousetrap: I don't agree with that, sounds like you have a very good one!!

Dolittle: If I only had a brain!
Unfortunately I don,t!

Mousetrap: You have done so very good tho, so being able to sew is no big deal. You just keep on reading and nurturing your mind!

ajtgirl: A Cristmas Carrol was always my favourite by the way. For poetry my favourites are Poe and Longfellow and the Latin version of Virgil,s Aneid, we had to learn that by heart at secondary school. I have always believed that all the best literature was written in Latin. Latin is not taught in secondary schools any more, my class was one of the last to do it, I was lucky! But I canna sew to save me life I,m afraid!

ajtgirl: They did,nt do it at my school either lol!
My mam bought me all his books, it was to help me speak as I am deaf and it worked because I have never shut up since lol!

ajtgirl: I can sure understand that! We had a terrific English/Literature teacher that exposed us to a lot of good reading and poetry!

Dolittle:
Of course not, and I didn't mean to offend
I lived in the panhandle, strictly agricultural and livestock
The parents in our school district, who elected the school board and chose the curiculum
were making future farmers and homemakers in 1974
I learned a lot there but not about reading or the arts
But I can sew an entire wardrobe for a man or a woman!

LOL

ajtgirl:Not all of Texas was that way!

Mousetrap:

Wonderful!
I went to high school in Texas and they didn't give a darn for Charles Dickens
I have just finished Great Expectations and am ready for Hard Times next.

His imagery and vocabulary are so beautiful and I love his style of always promoting the underdog.

ajtgirl: Charles Dickens is one of my favourite authors, I read all his books when I was very young, that is how I learned to speak by reading his books out loud every night.
Edited for spelling.

Dolittle: AWESOME site Do!!!! I plan on buying all of the Harry Potter books.I borrowed all but the last one out,that one I bought.I want the entire collection and think I will get it from that site.Thank you!

Eriisa:

You may have read it in high school, but did you understand it then?

ajtgirl: LOL I read it in high school. hmmm don't remember it much anymore.

Tuesday sent me 'A Million Little Pieces' so I have 2 copies now. She also wrote a note and says she's been busy working & fixing up the house and tell everyone Hi!

(lol, she says too that she is not using a new nic on BK!) rofl
