BriarRose Kildare Posted August 27, 2007 Posted August 27, 2007 Right now I am enthralled with the book I have been reading Scotland's Black Death. It is very detailed and keeps the interests of the reader with out being overbearing. Oh, and an old love note I found while cleaning. Hmmm, Happy Memories indeed. Wow. The things you can remember when you find something..... Parsley, Sage, Rosemary and Thyme Winter is an etching, spring a watercolor, summer an oil painting and autumn a mosaic of them all.

'Bastian Devareaux Posted October 30, 2007 Posted October 30, 2007 I am finishing a Trilogy that tells Pride and Prejudice from Fitzwilliam Darcy's point of view by Pamela Aidan. Volume One, An Assembly Such As This, was well done; Volume Two, Duty and Desire , was well enough. The third, These Three Remain , is much more kindred to the first volume. A Classic from another angle when done correctly, is quite a pleasure to delve into. I read another called A Far Better Rest retelling A Tale of Two Cities that I found enjoyable. Every now and again you happen upon one that does the original justice.... It is time to pause, even so early, for this account is not intended to be about my life...but is, as I have said, about my life's secrets. Secrecy is intrinsic to my work. ~ Christopher Priest “Five and Twenty Ponies, Trotting thru’ the Dark. Brandy for the Parson, 'Baccy for the Clerk. Laces for a Lady, Letters for a Spy.Watch the wall my darling; While the Gentlemen go by.”~Rudyard Kipling
Patrick Hand Posted October 31, 2007 Author Posted October 31, 2007 Dang... didn't read the post befor I posted..... bad patt.... Just finished Herman Wouk's "Don't stop the Carnaval"...... And just wasn't happy withthe ending..... sure it was realistic....but..... DANG.... not the way I wanted it to end................ RATS..................
Misson Posted October 31, 2007 Posted October 31, 2007 Just finished Herman Wouk's "Don't stop the Carnaval"......And just wasn't happy withthe ending..... sure it was realistic....but..... DANG.... not the way I wanted it to end................ RATS.................. Still, a highly recommended book. I'm reading Daniel Dennett's Kinds of Minds: Towards and Understanding of Consciousness. I must confess, while some of his ideas interest me, his writing style is too disorganized for my taste.

Ransom Posted October 31, 2007 Posted October 31, 2007 Scales of Gold by Dorothy Dunnett (4th in the seven book series The House of Niccolo) Misfortune by Wesley Stace And, still slowly working my way through Foucault's Pendulum by Emberto Ecco. ...schooners, islands, and maroons and buccaneers and buried gold...

Misson Posted October 31, 2007 Posted October 31, 2007 What do you think of Ecco? "I am so clever that sometimes I don't understand a single word of what I am saying.” -Oscar Wilde "If we all worked on the assumption that what is accepted is really true, there would be little hope of advance." -Orville Wright
Blackbead Posted October 31, 2007 Posted October 31, 2007 I loved Name of the Rose, thoroughly enjoyed Baudolino and am liking Mysterious Flame but I could never finish Pendulum. Weird, huh? You'd think I was from Holland . . . "In the end, it's not the gold that sets our sails, 'Tis freedom and the promise of a better life That raises our black flags."
Ransom Posted October 31, 2007 Posted October 31, 2007 What do you think of Ecco? I read Name of the Rose and liked it very much. Pendulum is a tougher read — more convoluted. It also doesn't help that I take breaks to read other stuff, and don't get back to it for weeks, or up to a month. I should just knuckle down and keep to it, and maybe it would be easier, and fairer to the author. I DO recommend Dorothy Dunnette to anyone who likes excellent historical fiction. She has two series — The Lymond of Crawford series (6), and the House of Niccolo series (7). Super, super good books, expecially the Lymond of Crawford. I've been reading them since the mid-eighties, and am going through the Niccolo series again for the third time. I am also slowly collecting them all in hardback, mainly through Ebay. ...schooners, islands, and maroons and buccaneers and buried gold...

Misson Posted November 1, 2007 Posted November 1, 2007 I picked up Pendulum and did manage to get through it, but thought it was a very difficult book to read and enjoy. I found it very dense and yet somewhat scattered in it's approach. However, I saw In the Name of the Rose with the ever-reliable Connery and really enjoyed it. Perhaps I should give Umberto another shot...
