swords and dreams: The trouble with libraries
http://librarianesque.blogspot.com/2009/04/trouble-with-libraries.html
07 April, 2009. The trouble with libraries. I'm reading a copy of A.S. Byatt's. Labels: A.S. Byatt. I didn't know what the Oxford comma was so I looked it up on this page:. Http:/ en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxford comma. This amazing page is definitely what Wikipedia was designed for, somehow all the mechanisms to resolve disputes on pages about George Bush stealing the 2000 election and Obama being a secret Muslim, work here even though they don't work there. 08 April, 2009 17:21. 09 April, 2009 10:25.

swords and dreams: The run of good books continues
http://librarianesque.blogspot.com/2006/08/run-of-good-books-continues.html
21 August, 2006. The run of good books continues. I've barely read any fiction so far this year, but now I can use the library again I'm barrelling through decent novels. Finished James Meek's The people's act of love. Andrea Levy's Small Island. Now half way through something a bit heavier, the Hungarian writer Imre Kertesz's Fatelessness. Yay for sympatische Kommunistin! It's a really great picture, irony or no irony, and it suits you as a profile. 23 August, 2006 22:05. 24 August, 2006 16:59. 4 - Tara...

swords and dreams: We are now beginning our descent - James Meek
http://librarianesque.blogspot.com/2009/04/we-are-now-beginning-our-descent-james.html
02 April, 2009. We are now beginning our descent - James Meek. This is James Meek's fourth novel, which I thought I'd read as I enjoyed his previous one so much, The people's act of love. I actually found this book so depressing that I had to stop reading it temporarily. It starts in Afghanistan, where the central character, Adam Kellas, is reporting on the war, and meets a fellow journalist from the US, Astrid. The novel then follows him back to London, where he has a sort of crise. Cialis v s viagra.

swords and dreams: March 2009
http://librarianesque.blogspot.com/2009_03_01_archive.html
31 March, 2009. Laura very kindly lent me a couple of Antonia Forest books I hadn't read:. One of the stories about the Marlows) and. The Thursday kidnapping. These were both reasonably good fun, as Antonia Forest usually is, but not as enjoyable as some of the others because of the appalling snobbery that pervades both stories. This comes up in other Forest novels - the depiction of Marie Dobson in the school novels, for example - but was specially noticeable and unpleasant here. Links to this post.

13 April, 2009. Still reading Zola's L'argent. 160;and Kotz's Russia's path from Gorbachev to Putin. 160;And a collection of surprisingly interesting articles about indexing for school. 160;have spent the Easter weekend listening to the Classic FM yearly top 300 classical pieces poll.
