Too bad you didn't like the first one the randomizer picked for you! I hope the rest are a lot more enjoyable!

[Gail]

The wonderful thing about the Randomized list is that you read books you have never even heard of. I am sure the next one will be great. Thank you Valerie

You can only edit your own posts. Since the account "1001shelf" created the thread and wrote the initial post with the list, it can only be edited by someone logged into that account.

[Gail]

Got it! Thank you Liz

Perhaps it is not hate, perhaps it is "tough love". At least the other three on the list are easy to find. Let the search for Halftime begin.
Thank you

Well, I spoke too soon. My search does indicate there has been exactly one English edition of the book with a very small run. I have found no copies for sale and there are only six libraries in the world that have copies: 2 in Canada, 1 in Australia, 1 in Turkey, 1 in the UK, and 1 in the the US in Knoxville Tennessee which is very very far away from where I live. I guess I will be reading the other books on the list.
