Well, my collection, over at Lulu, has been available for a year, so it’s finished. And free, too!

Now as for my novel, you’re on my list to get a review copy.

Dorothy, I should send you my copy of “When We Were Orphans” when I’m finished. Have you read it yet?

Will–As soon as your book is finished, I’ll put you on the list (unless it really sucks, but “suckiness” is subjective anyway, so on the list you go)!

I’m totally sad I’m not on your current list.

Something to shoot for, though!

I agree with you about Ishiguro. I should read all of his work at some point — I’ve read quite a bit, but still some great novels await me…

Julie–Yeah, a lot of people have told me they don’t like “Winnie the Pooh.” I guess it’s just a preference thing.

Care–I think you’re going to finish Ishiguro long before I do. I’ll be lucky to get to him before Christmas! I have no clue about why I fixated on WWWO first. Happy reading!

NEVERMIND! I just received When We Were Orphans in my mail today – so I will start reading this… TODAY! (thank you.) We’ll read Remains of the Day after WWWO, ok?

I read a bio of Twain and still haven’t made it over to see his house in CT (on my list) So many more ideas here for my Chartroose Challenge! We’re going to read When We Were Orphans b4 Remains of the Day?

Wow, Mark Twain — GREAT choice! I’ve never liked Winnie the Pooh, though.

Thanks, you guys! Bybee, don’t you think Twain would be fun to hang out with? I can picture us sitting on the front porch cracking jokes and sipping lemonade. With the way the U.S. is heading, I think we need Mark Twain right now!

Verbivore–Ishiguro is an author I’d really like to meet. I respect him so much. And Jonathan Lethem writes wonderfully about loss of innocence and alienation. I haven’t read “You Don’t Love Me Yet.” This must be corrected soon!
