O mnieI'm a fairly random person, often with reddish streaks in my hair, and I'm addicted to writing, teaching, and working tech for theaters (still looking out for one in Pittsburgh). In the in between, I help organize poetry events, try to have a social existence with my amazing fiance and beyond, and find new ways to procrastinate what I Should be doing....like this. In the picture, you see my lovely cat RJ trying to help me wrap for Christmas--she's also often seen on my lap with a book leaning on her. I've just started work in a PhD program in a Pittsburgh, and am waiting impatiently for a company to hire my fiance, who's still working down south until something opens up here.

On a side note, I do keep a myspace page and a blog there, but I only mention books when they're absolutely outstanding, in which case they get a mention/note/review on facebook too. Most recently, those were The Translator by Daoud Hari, Emergency Sex, and The Sound of Building Coffins.

O mojej biblioteceProbably about as random as you get. I read mostly contemporary work Lately since that's what I've been teaching, and my nonfiction tastes tend to run toward environmental or biography, though lately I've been reading about the diamond trade and Darfur, but that's about as much as you can pin me down...and I'm sure my library will find ways to contradict this description no matter what I write. Most of my books are entered here, I think, though there are still some boxes in storage at my family's house. In general, if it's been reviewed, I've read it, and if it hasn't, I haven't (or don't own it), though there are many anthologies which I've read various parts of and haven't reviewed. When it comes to what's here though, the obvious point of interest is simply that I'm addicted to books.

In my "To Read" collection, there are many many anthologies which I've read significant portions of, but they're listed in "To Read" until done. Also there are many many books which I have read, but so long ago that they need to be reread before I can think of reviewing them or remember more than that "I really liked that a long time ago..." (which is why I now review everything I read, to refresh my memory as much as for the system). This is the case with most of the Elfquest books, quite a few of the older suspense novels, and some of the classics as well.

I enjoyed browsing your library. Like you I've read so many more books than I have in my collection. Others I see the title and wonder if I read that or not. Those I'll revisit.

Hi;
Mark and I have been discussing the possibility of another group read in November and want your input. We have narrowed it down to two books at this point. "The People of the Book" by Geraldine Brooks and "The Thirteenth Tale" by Diane Setterfield. So chat it up with friends or us and let us know if you are up for it and what you think. Probably the same plan as with "Pillars of the Earth" which seemed to work out perfectly for almost all of us.
Think it over and give one of us a shout.
hugs and looking forward to hearing from you,

Thank you for the compliment of adding my library to your interesting libraries list. I look forward to reading your comments and reviews on LT. Pretty cat in your photo!

Applause and big thumbs up for your review of Time Traveler's Wife. I can't think of another book that has left me feeling so empty. Thanks for a thoughtful and articulate review.

wysłany przez nobooksnolife o 10:43 am (EST) dnia Aug 16, 2009

I just read your review of The Time Traveller's Wife, and you expressed exactly the problem I had with the love story. The characters never fall in love - so why am I supposed to be invested in their trials and their waiting? Anyway, thanks for putting it so much more eloquently than I did. I really enjoyed your review!

thanks for the note!! i did not know what the book was about before reading. i had just heard such rave reviews about it and was disappointed. mabye it was my mood at the time. or maybe if i had finished the book i would feel differently. who knows?

Hey Jennifer,

Thanks for the 'interesting library' nod. I'm curious, we share so few books (relatively speaking) what drew your interest to mine?

BTW, I enjoyed your review of The Sound of Building Coffins. I thought it captured the essence of the book very well.

wysłany przez timdt o 8:35 pm (EST) dnia Jun 18, 2009

Thanks for the compliment! I have learned to put very little stock in the back cover or the critics' raves of a book; I choose my books by reading a page, recommendations from other LTers or friends, or pure "huh, that looks cool". When I finally picked up People of the Book from the library, I couldn't remember anything about it or even why I had wanted to read it, so I really dove in completely clueless. I didn't think I was going to like it after the first ten or so pages, but once it started going back in time, I was hooked.

Re: Henry Adams'Education-

message 74: DeadFred

Good review. Your one of the few people that I have heard enjoyed those last three chapters . This includes most of the people he sent the first private printing to ( 18 copies I think) in 1907. They just didn't get it .

According to a couple of Henry Adam scholars ( Samulson/Chalfant) and even Adams himself , this work was not intended as an Autobiography but was written the third person. I agree to a point but I remember something Gertrude Stein said about a rose?..

Oddly, He left out of the *Education" his wife Clovers suicide in 1885. This sent him rocking off into the unknown and he never recovered fully .

Again, Nice review.. you might discover after a couple readings that this book is really worth the 1918 Pulitzer it received . Ive read it three times and I STILL can't get passed those last three charters.

Jennifer: Thanks for your nice comment about "Irish", our little Pom. He was in bad shape when we adopted him—badly abused, scared to death, shaved almost to the bone—but a year later he's the star of our show.

You know, you sound very young to me and I know I am very old to you (61 years of age), but I was just reading your little bio above and saw "Emergency Sex" and wondered: what the *ell is that and then I remembered: Oh yeah, that's like after I got out of the hospital and was bedridden for 2 months and needed something to take my mind off what was going on with my body. That's what it means!~! I am sure that is not the same as your interpretation but it worked for me at the time.
Whew! Glad those days are over!~! Cuz at 61 it could be flat dangerous!~!
Happy reading and blessings on your day whitewavedarling.
By the way; beautiful cat. If I could figure how to do the picture thing myself I could show you 6 of my 7 (one is feral).

A High Wind in Jamaica is pure fiction... it caught me by surprise. I highly recommend finding it.

I'm so jealous of you. I want to teach a class on lit. so bad at that level. (Oh wait, do you teach at a high school or college level?) There are so many things you could do with it, also you don't have to worry too much about cross-curriculm. Do you have anything picked out for this school year yet? I imagine a contemporary lit. or classical lit. would be easier to teach, but probably not as much fun.

So you like non-fiction? I just can't seem to get into it that much. It's probably because I'm still taking classes and that's all I get to read for them, so in my 'spare reading time' I enjoy getting away. The types of books I like, well I've completed all of SK works and I'm kind of jumping around right now between other horror/suspense books and children's literature. My library is getting huge for my classroom! I want to make sure once I'm teaching that I can give good quality reccomendations to my students and to relate with them once they are reading that book.

So off to Pittsburgh? Well good luck and be safe. I know moving can be stressful (I've never left my home town, but have moved around in it, so I imagine cross-country is even more stressful), but try to enjoy it as much as you can, afterall it is to better yourself right?

I was going to get my BA in english, but switching my major turned out to be more hassle then what it was worth. So you love teaching, what is it you teach? (If I'm prying too much please let me know) I'm hoping to teach grades 3-6, I wanted to do HS, but like I said the whole degree thing was going to be too much.

I'll check out that book you reccomended. I'm in the middle of a couple of reads right now, and my TBR list is extensive, just like everyone else on LT. So is it fiction or non-fiction?

What kind of books do you favor?

wysłany przez beckylynn o 4:12 pm (EST) dnia Jul 10, 2008

Oh, that's so heartbreaking when you can't find a home for animals you can't keep yourself. I find myself having to say no to an animal at least once a week because so many people know how much I love animals. If I said yes to everyone that's been offered I would be considered a 'hoarder'...

I want a cat so bad, we live out in the country so it could enjoy chasing mice during the day, but as of right now my boyfriend is saying no....I just need a little more time to butter him up :)

So your working on your PhD? That's so interesting! What's your bachelors in? I'm working torwards my Bachelors right now, Elementary Education.

Thanks so much! I love my babies, RJ looks like quite the character. We don't have any 'cat sisters' at the moment but we're trying to work on that...

It is funny the way that works out :-) I've had a few kind of odd coincidences happen lately. Nothing earth shattering, just odd. Thanks for nominating "The Calling" for me, I'm looking forward to reading it!

Hey whitewavedarling...

Thanks for the words of welcome and the tip. I started reading a book last night that was publicly recommended by Christopher Moore from his website. He has a page called Chris's Picks where he recommends books and/or authors that he finds funny. The one I started reading last night is called [Pest Control] by [[Bill Fitzhugh]]. BTW, I don't know if the touchstone trick will work in this context. Still learning, I guess!

See you out there...

Thanks for the Bentley Little suggestions. I picked up "The Store" because it's on Stephen King's shortlist. I figured since I like Stephen King, then I might like what he likes. I'm only a few pages into it, haven't had much of a chance to sit and read and I read 2 Junie B.'s to my 9 year old last night, but it's already GOT ME. I'm really new to contemporary fiction. I've always read the classics and Stephen King. A friend of mine hooked me with Harlan Coben and I picked up "Just One Look" today.

BTW: Love your profile pic! He's a cute li'l kitty! looks ornery, too ;-) !

Been in you library. Lovely! I’ve just finished writing a review of “Uncle Tom’s Cabin”. Now I find you have already written up exactly what I wanted to say, even to the mention of Huck Finn. Your’s is perfect! I’ve printed it and placed it inside the cover of my copy. Stay nice!

Hi Jennifer, I just read your comment on [The Alchemist] on Teelgee's thread. I have talked to several people who either loved it or hated it. With that being said, I think it depends on the point you are at in your life. Your comments were interesting and I would be interested to hear him speak. I will reread this in a few years and may have a whole different perspective! Take care!

I took a 100 level poetry writing course with Lieberman. He was actually pretty subdued in class; he might have loosened up more in higher level classes. He did me the great favor of letting me know that the poetry I wrote in high school was complete and utter crap. From that point I started on the process of learning how to write something, unless I am deluding myself... again.

Maybe I will write and let him know that at least ome student heard something he said.

i know what you mean about vanityfair. the new pride film is quite good though darcy is a bit stiff but keira knightly as lizzie rocks. and the film gives a much more accurate and believable portrayal of the times than the tv show (BBC) although the mr.darcy in the tv show was hot!! believe me read the english patient, its worth the wait. i haven't read anymore alex garland but i'm glad your doing it in school so much better than some other choices on offer (see an inspector calls) i was lucky too i did lord of the flies which rocked!! i bet the kids like all the blood in the beach! any books (or films) you'd recommend?
