I've had...Wow, quite a bumper crop of reading!<br /><br />I've had my eye on the Murakami book so glad to hear that one is worth the read. And that expat book sounds really good, too - I can live vicariously through her. Even though technically I am an expat, a Canadian living in the States doesn't have the same kind of exotic quotient as one living in France or Dubai or practically anywhere else on the planet. :-)Lesleyhttp://www.alifeinbooks.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6604938.post-11635075299900562162009-10-09T13:55:27.376-07:002009-10-09T13:55:27.376-07:00Write more.

Her short stories are highly regarded. That Civil War novel was praised by both readers and critics but it was too much in the shadow of GWTW.Bybeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10061186489010154661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6604938.post-14431006171684058712009-10-07T00:48:23.267-07:002009-10-07T00:48:23.267-07:00Bookfool,

The university library has several titles by her--mainly short stories, I think. I intend to wander down to compact shelving tomorrow and pick out one or two of hers to come live with me for awhile. Did the bio indicate whether Strange Children would be a good place to start?SFPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17439972994357205049noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6604938.post-35056157881893095142009-10-05T12:57:57.165-07:002009-10-05T12:57:57.165-07:00You're a cinch for triple digets again in 2009...You're a cinch for triple digets again in 2009...hope I don't jinx you by saying it's a certainty. <br />:-)Sam https://www.blogger.com/profile/17448913705757509608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6604938.post-90834251693332799452009-10-04T16:03:13.823-07:002009-10-04T16:03:13.823-07:00I definitely won't make it to the triple digit...I definitely won't make it to the triple digits this year, but it is rare when I do, so I'm okay with that. :-) <br /><br />I haven't yet read a Murkami book yet, but I do hope to. I have a couple of his fiction books among my TBR collection.<br /><br />Burnt Shadows is one I hope to get to soon. As is White Tiger.<br /><br />I'm sorry you were underwhelmed with The Cellist of Sarajevo. It was one that really spoke to me at the time I read it. We can't all be drawn to the same books though, can we? :-)<br /><br />I hope you have a great week!Literary Felinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13079276242303738719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6604938.post-52171769124465359942009-10-04T11:42:21.388-07:002009-10-04T11:42:21.388-07:00I need to see if I've added that Murakami to m...I need to see if I've added that Murakami to my wishlist. I'm pretty sure I haven't, but now that you've recommended it so highly I want to read it even more. Expat's going on the wishlist, too. Sooooo, it was a mistake passing up The White Tiger when it became available via Paperback Swap? Sigh. I was trying to be discerning and not overdo the requests. Okay. You're killing me, here, but another one back on the wishlist.Bookfoolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08247136634069540446noreply@blogger.com
