À mon sujetI teach 16th and 17th British literature, particularly drama. I read a lot of fiction--historical novels set in many places and time periods, contemporary British fiction, classics, and more. Fiction keeps me sane in the midst of reading stacks of freshman essays!

I have started to write a historical novel, something I've wanted to do for a long, long time.

Hello friend!

I rec'd. the book. Many thanks!!!!!

écrit par Whisper1 à 5:12 pm (EST) le Jun 17, 2013

Hi Deborah,

Thanks for your comments re: my review of No Fond Return of Love. Thanks to the Barbara Pym Centenary in the Virago group, I have become a big fan. So I am reading one per month and although I probably should be holding some back I don't think I can stop. Apparently I've become addicted haha. I can't say which is my favorite yet because I've liked them all (Less than Angels a little less than the others).

Cheers,
Bonnie

Hi Deborah,

Have you read her other novels, Life Class and Toby's Room? I was searching her name in Amazon and pulled up these other 2 books. They both sound really interesting and I plan on reading them after I finish the Regeneration trilogy.

I did read somewhere that she'd won the Booker Prize for The Ghost Door. That's actually what made me pick this trilogy to read this year, because I had planned to read 4 Booker prize winning titles as part of a challenge this year. I'm so glad I picked WWI and Booker Prize winners as a couple of my challenges this year because I'm not sure I would have gotten to Pat Barker quite so soon.

Oops, I meant 'The Ghost Door' being the 3rd in the Regeneration Trilogy. ;-)

écrit par cameling à 12:05 pm (EST) le Jun 9, 2013

Hi Deborah, Thank you for the thumbs up. I did not know that Pat Barker is a woman. Thanks for that nugget.

I loved 'Regeneration' and can't wait to get to 'The Eye in the Door' and 'The Glass Door' to finish the trilogy. If they're as good as the first, this would definitely make it to my top 5 list of trilogies. It has everything. Well researched historical facts brought to life and given color with believable conversations and additional characters. I'm sure your class is going to enjoy this.

Thanks -- I'll write those down in my reading notebook. You remind me that I saw the film version of Othello that came out 10 or so years ago.

Hi, Deborah! So I finally finished Macbeth and loved it. So glad I read it with Nina and helped her study a bit (and in a few years, I'll read it again with Charlotte). So I've done a goodly smattering of sonnets, Macbeth, Hamlet, King Lear, 12th Night, the Tempest, Measure for Measure, & the Winter's Tale, and I've seen Romeo & Juliet, A Midsummers Night's Dream, & the Merry Wives of Windsor. Am I missing anything really wonderful or important? I realize I've completely missed the historical plays, but I don't even know where to begin with them. I'm not really looking for a reading assignment, but I'm wondering if there are any important gaps in my knowledge.

écrit par Nickelini à 12:26 am (EST) le May 30, 2013

Good morning Deborah. I am on the hunt for the Sarah Churchill bio but have forgotten which author you and CurrerBell thought would be best for me. Could you help me out here?
Hope you are having a great day. My Football allstar has said he would be happy for me to miss his playoff game in order to be able to attend the Joplin meet-up so am saving my nickels and dimes. Any chance you may be there?

I'm very excited about meeting you in Philadelphia in a few days!

I've been very busy at work and haven't had time to check the thread regarding what is planned. I was able to obtain tickets for Friday night at the Barnes anniversary party.

Looking forward,

Linda

Thanks fr the compliment on the Hero's Walk reivew - I consider that very high praise. I am sorry to hear you didn't think as much of the other Badami books. I'm on the lookout for some now to see what I think.

Deborah -- The Optimist's Daughter arrived yesterday. Again thank-you. I look forward to reading it as soon as the semester's over. -- Jane

Thanks or the Hitchens review. I keep picking that up but not buying it.

écrit par blackdogbooks à 3:34 pm (EST) le Feb 2, 2013

Great reviews the Li book. I love these kinds of books/stories. I'm looking out for that title and author now. Made e think of The Woman from Shanghai, a non-fiction that was published as fiction. Very hard to read but rewarding because of the author.

écrit par blackdogbooks à 5:24 pm (EST) le Jan 11, 2013

Cariola, I've been following you for the last five years or so, mostly through the 75'er threads. But this year, I am trying to be more economical with my internet time, and I'm really more interested in the reviews and books than the more social elements of the 75'er groups. I found I spent much to much time reading all of the comments on endless threads. I hope to write a lot more this year and spend less time doing other things that seem to suck my time away. But you are a thoughtful reader and reviewer, even if I don't always agree with you - though, that is the point, I think. You, along with a few others and a couple of good lists, have greatly expanded my reading life, and, hopefully, my writing life.

écrit par blackdogbooks à 10:39 am (EST) le Dec 31, 2012

There is. Do this:

1. Click on the tab "your books".

See where it says "edit styles" (on one of the top bars)?
2. Click on the cog wheel (edit view styles/after A, B, C, D, E).
3. Make one of your options (from the drop down menu) "rating"
4. Click "save changes".

Go back to the tab "your books".
5. Click on "rating" once or twice. Use the option that brings the five star ratings to the top.

Hope that helps! :)

Hi Deborah, Thanks for your comments about Gillespie and I. Actually, when I went to look at your review I remembered that I had read it in Belletrista some time ago. Your review was excellent and you managed to do what I couldn't figure out how to do which was to review the book w/o giving away too much. I hope all the people who tell me that I convinced them to read the book aren't disappointed.

I see some of my favorites among your favorites above, especially Gail Jones, Helen Humphreys and a few others including Cutting for Stone. The Cellist of Sarajevo, and In Other Rooms, Other Wonders. I hope you like Wolf Hall as much as I did.

Cheers,
Bonnie

Deborah, if the touchstones are not working, just use a regular HTML link. That will always work (and it's easy). The only thing is that you won't have the books listed in the right-hand column.

When the touchstones don't work, I don't use any link for the book, but I do link the author if I can. From the author is a quick jump to the book. I can't stand to fool with touchstones too much. As Tim might say, it's fiddly. :)

Refusing to ship internationally obviously touches a raw nerve for some moochers. I thought some of the comments following your post were extremely smug and self-righteous. You have an amazing record on Bookmooch; I was feeling a little smug at having 180 points (most of them earned from sending internationally!) but you beat me hollow.

I don't often post anything that might be seen as contentious as I hate the arguments that sometimes develop in online discussion groups, partly, I think, because the nuances of speech aren't always apparent in the written word - my written opinions and explanations often don't come out the way I want - but I was incensed by the way all the comments seized upon what I saw as a minor (and reasonable) point in your post.

Hello Cariola
Have you looked into Phillip Burton's: YOU,MY BROTHER? A novel based on the lives of Edmund & William Shakespeare. P.B. was an early mentor to Richard Jenkins who went on to have a pretty fair career as an actor, etc.

We have some wonderful historical novels in common, and I enjoy Jude Morgan's books as well. (He's written many other historicals as T.R. Wilson, if you're not familiar with his earlier work.)
If you decide to take a look at my historical fiction guide, I hope you enjoy it!
