I meant to say "good" not god, sorry :)

[janine]

welcome to TC, shakira.

[Kira]

What is Netgalley?

[Stacia (the 2010 club)]

It's a place for galley arcs (since the book isn't out yet) in ebook form.

Did you get a hardcover arc then?

[Kira]

No I'm waiting (im)patiently for it to come out so I can read it. And thanks janine, I'm glad to be a part of it.

[Stacia (the 2010 club)]

Ahhh gotcha.

[Kira]

So, why do they call you the bad influence?

[Félix]

Because she is.

[Stacia (the 2010 club)]

They don't in this group, although I'm sure I've been called other things (usually nice though - I think?). I tend to have random inside jokes with different GR people, this one has to do with a pre teen girl who started reading some of the more adult books that I was recommending, but I didn't realize it until after the fact or I would have told her to stay away.

Sorry I sullied your character Larry.

[Félix]

Ha!

[[deleted user]]

Is it posible to sully a monkeys character?

[Stacia (the 2010 club)]

Not a real one. Larry's only a soft figment of our imagination though.

[[deleted user]]

True! A very entertaining figment!

[Félix]

As Ficus is also a fig-ment.

Pre-teen girls have never been permanently damaged by reading adult books.

What works are you trying to track down? Apartment in Athens and The Pilgrim Hawk are in print, published by NYRB.

They might be if they go to have sex for the first time and are bummed (view spoiler)[when they don't have multiple orgasms on top of multiple orgasms. (hide spoiler)]

I CAN'T SPOILER IT NOW!

[Michele]

I am re reading "Seducing the Highlander" by Janet Chapman. I needed to read a love story because they always make me feel more hopeful and I have been somewhat depressed lately (the migraines are back).

[Stacia (the 2010 club)]

It's okay. I like me some Highlanders too.

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

The Arcanum: The Extraordinary True Story

[Jammies]

Hey, it's boring, but at least it's short, right?

[janine]

looking good while driving is very important.

[Félix]

It's better to look good than to feel good.

[Pam]

Just opened up "Parrot & Olivier in America"

[Brittomart]

I'm getting kinda bored with Adam Carolla, and I don't have the time to finish it, I think. This book was made for Clark though.

i liked that one, but what maisie knew confused me.

[Sally, la reina]

I'm still reading the Jewel in the Crown. When I start really liking it I can't help but feel LG is controlling my brain.

I also just started reading a pretty fluffy book that made me laugh out loud and weep all in one naptime reading session. The Atlas of Love

The Professor and The Madman: A Tale of Murder Insanity and the Making of the Oxford Dictionary
I love these kind of books!

[Jammies]

ms.petra, I enjoyed that book even though some of it was gross.

[Sally, la reina]

I bought that for my FIL Petra, in the hopes I can someday borrow. Is it great?

That's a good one, Petra. Takes a turn into serious weirdness halfway through, but a fascinating story.

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

I l o a t h e Simon Winchester but I know I'm the only one.

[Aynge]

The Professor and the Madman was great. I think I'll read his book about Krakatoa next.

It was GREAT! I listened to the audio version and there is a bonus CD that is a conversation between the author, Simon Winchester, and John Simpson, the editor of the OED. Fascinating! That was almost better than the story.

I'm about to start those. Got to finish a couple of others first, but I see them out of the corner of my eye and I know they're coming.
