I should put a person information post up for those who ask. I am disabled and confined at home so my only activity, besides blogging, is reading. I have the luxury of reading time that the rest of you don't have, and a good thing you don't really.<BR/><BR/>*bermudaonion: I was only half way through the book by the time of the interview, but wasn't that a treat? I own a copy of Paula which I have yet to read too. If you don't mind a used book I can send you mine when I'm done with them. You may want lovely new ones, or hardcover but just let me know if you do want them.<BR/><BR/>N. Vassillis: I don't often write reviews of non ARCs but I will do a mini review just for you for Monsters when I'm finished.<BR/><BR/>An Anonymous Child: Thank you, and no Ulysses is not a really difficult read. I am 59 now and have no problem keeping track of who's speaking (a common complaint about this book) or what the language means. In my thirties I simply was bored by his playing with words so much instead driving the story forward. I think it's a good experience but I'm not at all convinced it's the best book ever as so many claim. Mind you I may feel different about it after the payoff-the climax and ending. I'll post about it when I'm done-and hope that none of my readers are Joyce experts. lol<BR/><BR/>*Literary Feline,fleurfisher:<BR/>: Thank you. We seem to read many of the same books, I must have good taste. :)<BR/><BR/>Rebachin: Thank you so much but don't be too impressed (see frist note). And I'm delighted to have a new follower.

It's impressive to see how much time and effort you put into your reading. I, quite frankly, have little time as it is to read. To do so in an organized manner? That's where the problem arises...<BR/><BR/>Still, good luck with your reads. I have a feeling I'll need to read "Ulysses" sometime in the near future...
