I guess it's out Tuesday, so hopefully I'll manage to read it over the long weekend.<br /><br />And a thumbs up for The Map of Time, too. We must be sympatico in out reading. I'm a little more than halfway through that doorstop, and I'm enjoying it, but not sure I'll be raving about it just yet. The idea to read The Time Machine in conjunction with it was not my own. The galley I recieved came with an adorable little matching mini galley of The Time Machine. So cute! How could I not read it?Susan Tunishttp://inoneeyeouttheother.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3354429728039534096.post-66917072303856349482011-06-29T17:48:17.141-07:002011-06-29T17:48:17.141-07:00Oh, my gosh!

Dominance was EXCELLENT .. really ... <br /><br />I WISH I had thought of reading The Time Machine either right before or after The Map of Time (also an excellent read, BTW) ... they tie together so well!<br /><br />Enjoy your reading week!Julie https://www.blogger.com/profile/01670155947411449802noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3354429728039534096.post-4446642474554342292011-06-29T12:39:18.324-07:002011-06-29T12:39:18.324-07:00Jaede,

God, can you imagine coming home to that every day?<br /><br />April,<br /><br />Yeah, it's not quite as bad as it seems. For instance, of the 12 books listed above:<br /><br />1 was a gift to me, and I'm happily keeping it.<br />4 are audiobooks that take up no space outside my iPod.<br />3 are electronic galleys that take up no space outside my Kindle.<br />1 has been earmarked as a future giveaway.<br />1 has already been gifted to a friend.<br /><br />That leaves a max of two physical books that I MIGHT keep for myself. There's a good chance that one will wind up with the face-to-face book group.<br /><br />I give away A LOT of books. Here, to the f2f book group, to friends and family, to Children's Hospital or other literacy groups. I "release them into the wild" through bookcrossing.com. (I just noticed the other day I've got 999 books registered! What to do for the 1000th??)Occasionally I even take bags of books around to San Francisco's homeless citizens. They REALLY appreciate it! <br /><br />So, are there too many books in my small apartment? Oh yeah! But I really try hard to share the wealth. Sharing books is the best feeling in the world. :-)Susan Tunishttp://inoneeyeouttheother.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3354429728039534096.post-1331182646753025582011-06-29T11:33:52.852-07:002011-06-29T11:33:52.852-07:00What do you do with all of these books?!
I'm ...What do you do with all of these books?!<br /><br />I'm reading the book that I won a few weeks ago -- Bone Yard by Jefferson Bass. It's not bad, but I don't think I'll be rushing out to be the rest of the author duo's books.A. N.

I keep being drawn back to the picture.

Makes me wonder what the one you lost was like.<br /><br />So, yes, I'm having a full-on nervous breakdown over the Nancy situation. I'm looking at having to take federal family and medical leave. NOT good. Silver lining: I would try to make Tuesday night stitching. Say "hi" to everyone tonight, and tell them how sad I was to miss them. (I'm shocked you haven't been stitching all month!)<br /><br />Yes, had so much fun with Jimbo. We always have a good time together. We'll both be at a signing in Manhattan a week from Friday if you want to swing by...<br /><br />Guess what I listened to last night as I fell asleep? Yes.<br /><br />You and I (and millions) share the love of Gorey. I don't understand people that can't appreciate his work.<br /><br />And I had a book like your Crowley. It was John Irving's The Son of the Circus. I would read 200-300 pages and could go no further. I set it aside two or three times. Then one day the time was right, I read the whole novel, and I really loved it. I hope the time is right for you and The Translator. One day it will be.<br /><br />Meanwhile, I think I'll know in the next couple of weeks if I have to return to the east coast to be a substitute mommy for a few weeks/months. Can you IMAGINE?Susan Tunishttp://inoneeyeouttheother.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3354429728039534096.post-47704755967026118812011-06-28T04:01:53.801-07:002011-06-28T04:01:53.801-07:00Gah!

I hate it when that happens.<br /><br />First, I'm sorry to hear that your sister's having trouble recovering from the c-section.<br /><br />Now for the bookish stuff.<br /><br />What fun you must have had with Jimbo this weekend. I just finished "Skeleton Key" (still reading the "Devil Colony" excerpt included with it). Since it looks like he won't be coming to the DC area, I'll probably get the iBook version of it. I would have purchased the "real" book at the signing. Sigh.<br /><br />You absolutely must listen to "Go the F**k to Sleep"! Samuel L. Jackson does an excellent job on the reading. It perfectly captures the way every parent feels at some time or other with a recalcitrant, stubborn baby or small child who just won't give in and go to sleep. Loved it!<br /><br />When I was purging my book collection in preparation for moving, I retained my copies of "The Epileptic Bicycle" and "Amphigorey." A long time ago, when my sister Elaine's girls were still tiny, I gave her and her husband a copy of Bicycle for Christmas, which puzzled them a bit. It looked like a children's book, but it definitely wasn't a children's book. Hahahaha. I finally got my own copy a few years ago. I think I've had "Amphigorey" since the '70s. Yikes!<br /><br />What am I reading now? "The Translator" by John Crowley. I've had it for a number of years, but just couldn't get into it. I'm giving it another try in anticipation of the years-in-the-making 25th (?) anniversary edition of "Little, Big," my all-time favorite book that I've read several times and will read again in this beautifully illustrated special edition. I got one of the numbered edition (only 300 copies!). It was originally slated for pubication in 2007. Hahahahaha.<br /><br />And tonight, I'm going to stitch, the first time since the week you were here, I think. So I never have delivered the books you left with me. Rosie took a couple, so there are fewer; but the rest go with me tonight!Sara Leighhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18257302421725766079noreply@blogger.com
