I was hoping maybe a few people would pop out of the woordwork to say hi, but your posts are making me all misty -- and making me so happy I keep this site. No one in my "real" life EVER heeds my book recommendations! <br /><br /><b>Cheese</b>, your post cracked me up. You should've said hi! I mean, sure, I probably would have looked momentarily confused, but that's just my normal facial expression. <br /><br />And <b>Sarah</b>, to answer your question, these days I've been getting my reading ideas from the bestseller and award lists (lazy, I know), and from recommendations from other people (including folks who post here). I've also been experimenting with lesser-known books by authors whose well-known books I've already read and enjoyed. So, basically, the usual mix of influences. I'm pretty excited by the books in my "to read" pile. If only I had more time to actually read them...<br /><br />Thanks, everybody, for taking the time to introduce yourselves. It's so cool -- and important -- to me, to be reminded that there are real honest-to-god people on the other side of the partition.Doppelgangerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12725922601661788402noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9931308.post-84163977992047926112007-01-13T13:16:00.000-08:002007-01-13T13:16:00.000-08:00I am Doppelsis.

I made 45 last year but I'm a full-time university student with a full-time job on the side so it's nice to get any pleasure reading done at all. I'm just finishing up my second book of 2007.

I've been recommending them to everyone ever since. They're not comic novels, and 'Paula Spencer' isn't nearly as good, but 'The Woman Who Walked Into Doors' moved me to tears more than once...I'll even send you my copy, you must read it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9931308.post-84979632543072571402007-01-13T08:55:00.000-08:002007-01-13T08:55:00.000-08:00I guess since everyone else is delurking, I will t...I guess since everyone else is delurking, I will too....<br /><br />I have only been reading your blog for a few weeks now and it has inspired me to keep track of what I am reading too!

You've added a lot of titles to my "want to read" list, even though I disagree on some - "Never Let Me Go" left me cold, which was disappointing for me because "Remains of the Day" is one of my favorite books ever. (The only solution, of course, is to read all the rest of Ishiguro's books and figure out which one is the aberration.) Okay, enough babbling. Thank you for a great blog and happy 2007! (Oh, I'll also add I'm always interested in what people think of as the good children's books - I'm constantly trying to find great stories for my son and there's this big blank spot that stretches from when I was a kid to ... well, when I started reading stories to him.)cymraeghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01505764176494520787noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9931308.post-89922481604043862892007-01-12T21:22:00.000-08:002007-01-12T21:22:00.000-08:00tap taptap tapAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9931308.post-69176862632776476912007-01-12T21:05:00.000-08:002007-01-12T21:05:00.000-08:00delurking.
