Rebecca Rosenblum Rebecca Rosenblum said: "I flipped through this book, picking up poems magpie-style. I never intended to read the whole ridiculous 500-page tome (why do they publish these things?)

There is some useful information in this book, but it could've been much much shorter. Aside from laying out the standard order of toasts and speeches at a wedding reception and some very very basic advice for those who have never spoken publicly bef...more

It's not very surprising that *Mad Hope* is as good as it is--Birrell's first collection of short stories, *I Know You Are but What Am I?* was similarly stellar, and the first story in this collection won the Journey Prize. Plus Coachhouse Books does...more

Rebecca Rosenblum Thanks for the suggestion! That title is really familiar, and yet I don't know the book! I will put it on my list but you are right, it's long so I won't take the chance of borrowing it and then driving you crazy.

Friday night was awesome--you guys really know how to party!

Maureen hey: i was just thinking about you, and books, and i'm wondering if you've read the elegance of the hedgehog by muriel barbery? it was one of the books i've read in the last year that i really liked, for the characters, mostly; sometimes the author philosophizes a bit much, though she's a professor, so i tend to excuse her. if you haven't read it, i think it's worth putting on your list to-read list. i can lend it to you if you like, but i keep finding myself to dipping back into it, so every time i lend it out, i get very "have you read that yet?" no doubt you already have a long to-read list, but hey, i'd love to hear what you think of it, if you ever get a chance. :)

it was nice to see you! mo/xo
