Stacia Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 I have no idea, shukriyya. I feel like I should know it, though, & will kick myself once I find out. In the meantime, I'm loving, loving The Painted Alphabet. Here are a couple of quotes I marked from it. They touched my heart in relation to the events in Sydney, as well as the recent discussions on here re: meditation/prayer/souls/spirits/etc.... “Madé Kerti straightened, and there was a glint about him as he looked at his wife. "Rajin, this is a catastrophe. You know there's only one way to behave.""I'd like to know what that is.""'Good thoughts, good speech, good actions.' At least, well, perhaps that way we won't make stupid mistakes. Let Kusuma Sari go with Siladri. This is a loving thing for us to do. It will remind him that there is also goodness in our ordinary world.†and “Your prayers can bring you grace or poison," said Mpu Dibiaja. "So pray always for grace.†Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aggieamy Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 "There was no possibility of taking a walk that day" One of the best opening lines of a novel!

Onceuponatime Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 That line was awfully familiar, but I didn't guess it. Of course it's been about twenty-five years since I read Jane Eyre. Maybe I should read it again. I'm currently reading The Accidental Universe by Alan LIghtman. It is a quick little book of essays by a theoretical physicist, written for the lay person. I'll probably finish it today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nan in Mass Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 Prairiegirl - I had to laugh at your post. I have a large, overly greedy bag of light reading from the library hiding under my sofa for almost the same reason. My library won't be closed as long, but it will be hard for me to get to it for a few weeks, so I have stocked up. (That doesn't sound right. "Have stocked" sounds like it really would rather be "have stooked up" lol.) Kareni - These will be fun to explore. Thank you! Nan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nan in Mass Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 Kareni - The King's Singer book and the Canon one look great! Thank you so much! More like Fie, nay, prithee John, or I love them mousies, mostly lol. They tend to be more musically interesting than some of the more inspiring ones, unfortunately, although some of the Latin ones are both. What I love about the famine song is that the music tells the story as well as the words. All - A few days ago, I said I was grateful for TWTM/TWEM because I was buying books and youngest could explain why I didn't want his favourites for his cousin. Oblique literary analysis lol. Yesterday, I had another reason. Middle one came home with a poem a new friend had said was a favourite and wanted to discuss with him. He thought the discussion would go better if he discussed it at home with me, first. Lorca's Sonnet of Sweet Complaint - we decided it was rather goth lol, and we prefered the Elizabethan variety of the same thing, although we liked some of the imagery. We probably spent half an hour on it! I never would have guessed that I would be analyzing poetry with my grown sons in such detail. Go TWEM!!!

Robin M Posted December 16, 2014 Author Share Posted December 16, 2014 I'm 100% convinced I am since I ordered a copy this morning! I wanted to make sure I had it (inc. international postage) in time. Alright, I'm convinced since I also have the book although HotAW was a dismal fail on my part. Hopefully will do better with HotMW "There was no possibility of taking a walk that day." One of the best opening lines of a novel! Okay, BaWers a little trivia fun...without googling which book begins with this line? My first thought had been Little Women. Loved all your clues leading up to Jane Eyre. Robin, I wonder if I would like this or not, whether it would raise my blood pressure or not. I'm not the most tolerant when it comes to the annihilation of Israel and similar sentiments. Joel Rosenberg's book are intense reads from beginning to end. I've read most of the series and he blends biblical prophecies, current middle eastern politics, suspense and a little bit of the supernatural to make for really nail biting, spine tingling, super political thriller reads. Yes, it will raise your blood pressure but since he's a christian writer, usually things fall in Israel's favor but the ride there will take your breath away. Although most of his books leave a couple threads untied to be continued in the next book. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jane in NC Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 Well here is where I am at with HoTMW: I know that I should join in but I should also finish HoAW. If I stick with the latter, I'll never get caught up with the former. So I guess that I shall join in the new read-along in the hope that I miraculously finish HoAW during say the first quarter of the year. Maybe I should create a deadline and a schedule for that. I returned Invisible Beasts with about 70 pages unread. Yawn. Before returning it to the library, I copied one passage to share not for its profundity but to share with you my reaction. First, the passage: [A] defensive swarm of invisible honeybees returned to crawl over their comb in four-bee thick cosiness, though they had no business to be (or bee) in North America. But they didn't know that. See the word "cosiness"? I read it initially as "cosines" with the reaction "Bees don't move in sinusoidal fashion!" Please laugh with me at my geekiness.

shukriyya Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 Ds and I have just begun 'Alice's Adventures in Wonderland'. I had a copy of this in my shelves as a child and would periodically read it through the years. I didn't love it then but the particular copy I owned had wonderful illustrations and the paper and font was ivory and sepia with the paper being slightly shiny. So it had a kind of exotic, other-worldly quality about it that intrigued me. A chapter or two in and I feel the same way. I don't love the story but the illustrations, this time in pen and ink are fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mumto2 Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 Since we seem to be stocking up for Christmas library closures and the conversation has definitely turned to Jane Austen I thought I would mention one of the books I am currently readinghttps://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6352576-first-impressions?ref=ru_lihp_up_rs_1_mclk-exp71cell165_exp69cell156-up2045307121First Impressions by Charlie Lovett. Some of you (Jenn, maybe Onceuponatime) read his Bookman's Tale earlier this year and the structure of this one is similar but I like it better so far. There are still two separate timelines but the story seems to be moving forward without flashbacks in both stories. One story takes place with Jane Austen as the main character, she is writing and revising with her friend Rev. Mansfield. The current storyline involves a really nice recent Oxford graduate who loves books and book collecting. I am only 10percent done so who knows how I will feel about it at the end! :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mom-ninja. Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 How funny, mumto2, I just picked up a book with Jane Austen. It's a fictional mystery but the author uses information (her letters and such) in the book about the real Jane Austen to capture the essence of her in his character of her. The plot is she and other guests are staying at a house for Christmas festivities and someone dies. Jane believes it was murder and tries to solve the mystery.

Nan in Mass Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 Shukriyya - Yes, appropriate weather. I so hope this turns out to be a sacrifice and not just a slaughter, that the horror of this event changes things for the better, strengthens people to stand together for better lives, not necessarily the western idea of better but their own idea of better. This can't possibly be it. Stacia - How apt! I will be making books this morning instead of reading them. I am binding blank books as Christmas presents, using the intriguing sounding "coptic stitch" binding. I have done this before and like the method because it allows the books to open flat. I interleaved the books with bits cut out of the Smithsonian travel advertisements as food for thoughts and dreams.

Stacia Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 I finished The Painted Alphabet & found it a lovely way to bookend my yearly reading -- early in the year, I read Sunjata (epic tale from West Africa about the beginnings of the Malian empire in the early 1300s) & now I'm approaching the close of the year by reading The Painted Alphabet, a delightful mix of a few modern sprinkles added to a retelling of a Balinese epic poem about morality, ritual, religion, & philosophy. I love bookending my year with these epic tales from far-flung places.

Pam in CT Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 I have been stockpiling/hoarding library books because the library will be closed 2 weeks for the holidays. The thought of being without a book during those 2 weeks instills fear so I went to the library again today and took out still more books. I now have 19 library books to do me until Jan. 5th. I think I'm good now. 2 weeks??!! :svengo: I've been remiss in both finishing books and in posting them here... I read David Grossman's Falling Out of Time for one of my IRL book groups -- it's a beautiful, lacerating, genre-defying book that he wrote in the years after his son's death... not quite poetry, not quite drama, not quite a novel... for me it evoked Our Town and even more the more recent Laramie Project... I finally finished Abraham Heschel's The Prophets, which I'd been doing it bits and pieces... and, at VC's exhortation, Bel-Ami by Guy de Maupassant, which I began under the grievously wrong impression was satire. Not. One of those good-for-you, glad-you're-done sort of experiences... On audio, Neil Gaiman's Neverwhere, which just barely met my desire for comic relief from these dark dark nights -- there certainly are some very funny bits, but the overall mood is darker than I'd expected based on other Gaiman I'd read; and then the Ocean on the Edge of the Lane, which has no funny bits AT ALL, ranging from scary to bleak and back again... My daughter and I are nearly done with Abbott's Flatland, which I read with both my olders and which maps well with her current enthusiasm for Madeleine L'Engle. And I'm in the market for something LIGHT. I have been so dismayed and disheartened by the catastrophic events around the world this week... and then stare glassy-eyed at my towering TBR stacks... and find myself unable to concentrate even enough to pick what I've got, up... so I'll take comic suggestions, please...

Jacobs Drop Dead and Healthy with getting my hubby off his butt and doing the 10,000 steps every single day. He is now up to 15,000 steps every day rain or shine, whether it be on the treadmill or around the neighborhood or work. I bought him a pedometer a couple years ago and it sat and sat and sat unopened until he read the book. Who thought a humorous book on exercise would be the instigator to get him walking.

Got me wondering if I should have read Mansfield Park first. I have never read it and didn't like the Billie Piper version on TV so don't even know the story! Anyway went hunting and learned that the Rev. Mansfield in this book is fictional. Enjoyed this article alsohttp://www.citizen-times.com/story/life/books/2014/11/06/writer-lovett-visits-asheville-first-impressions/18623699/. Finished knitting the baby gift this morning.
