Literary Acquisitionist: Tell King Tut I want my mummy
http://litacquisitionist.blogspot.com/2007/06/tell-king-tut-i-want-my-mummy.html
On the titillating path of literary acquisition. Monday, June 4, 2007. Tell King Tut I want my mummy. I miss my mum. When she last got in touch she was going to a sinfully sunny island in Greece. She’s on a cruise – complete with movie cinemas, swimming pools and restaurants - where dinner is served promptly at ‘whatever o’clock.’ When some folks in her social group decided to book a cruise, she jumped high and far at the chance to travel. I look forward to seeing her. Books, Baguettes and Bedbugs,.

Literary Acquisitionist: Not in earnest: more meme madness
http://litacquisitionist.blogspot.com/2007/05/not-in-earnest-more-meme-madness_24.html
On the titillating path of literary acquisition. Thursday, May 24, 2007. Not in earnest: more meme madness. All-too-quickly I was tagged again for a meme! This one is not very involved. My meme task, set by Dewey over at the hidden side of a leaf. Led me to re-examine another ‘chick lit’ novel. Grabbing the first book next to me,. The Importance of Being Earnest. I discover Wilde’s play is short and sweet; too brief a candidate for this meme. Next in line was La’Brooy’s. Here are the rules:. Ha ha, I lov...

Literary Acquisitionist: January 2007
http://litacquisitionist.blogspot.com/2007_01_01_archive.html
On the titillating path of literary acquisition. Sunday, January 28, 2007. IDEA: Reading Across Borders Book Group. GENESIS: F for international reading savvy. I took the Guardian World Book Day Quiz. And have discovered that despite appearances, I’m internationally inept. Yeah, results so embarrassing that there will be no sharing of scores. With a remedy in order, I fired off an SOS in SMS form to some of my bookish friends. I didn’t join the Reading Across Borders. Impossible to get a date with, but h...

Literary Acquisitionist: February 2007
http://litacquisitionist.blogspot.com/2007_02_01_archive.html
On the titillating path of literary acquisition. Wednesday, February 28, 2007. The people started to head home. L and I have ordered a copy of Watson’s book and I will post up some of his clever work soon. Surely an arts degree, and then possibly a dip-ed on top would a better pathway if you couldn’t yet envisage yourself teaching. Reading. Bumping along on the public transport system, I devoured a gorgeous little Korean novel sent my way by Bybee. All The Pretty Horses. Also, I’m going to sink mys...

Literary Acquisitionist: On Dessaix and books for xmas
http://litacquisitionist.blogspot.com/2007/12/on-dessaix-and-books-for-xmas.html
On the titillating path of literary acquisition. Sunday, December 16, 2007. On Dessaix and books for xmas. Turns on the neurons in my brain. It was cerebral indulgence as he considered topics from pornography to creative genius in his collection of short works ,. The book was one of those pageturners where I felt a need to remember something on each page, making mental notes to reread or write down as I went along. You know that feeling when an author so envelops you, reviving your perspective and mood?

Literary Acquisitionist: March 2007
http://litacquisitionist.blogspot.com/2007_03_01_archive.html
On the titillating path of literary acquisition. Friday, March 9, 2007. Random acts of Korean kindness. Aristotle’s Golden Mean delineates two extremes: stinginess and prodigality. Although prodigality can border on luxuriating waste, one can never exceed output of kindness. Bybee. Being the beautiful and generous bibliophile that she is, introduced me to Korean literature in the form of Lee Kyun-Young’s prize-winning novel,. The Other Side of Dark Remembrance,. This sketches the weariness and drudgery o...

Literary Acquisitionist: Hey chicky babe: championing chicklit
http://litacquisitionist.blogspot.com/2007/05/hey-chicky-babe-championing-chick-lit_25.html
On the titillating path of literary acquisition. Friday, May 25, 2007. Hey chicky babe: championing chicklit. Reminded me of Jess’s post at this delicious solitude. About her unexpected discovery of the. Jane Austen Book Club. To the disappointment of her book-purist heart, she found herself enjoying it. Her problem was that the novel may be considered ‘chicklit’. Evaluative and enlightening, her post and the comments received provide an interesting take on our assumptions as readers. I raved about its i...

On the titillating path of literary acquisition. Wednesday, May 30, 2007. Curiosity took over the comments.

On the titillating path of literary acquisition. Sunday, June 24, 2007. Apologies abound - retrospective and for the future. I'm such a slack lady - but I've been busy with the boredom of essays and the excitement of trip planning. I'm writing from Auckland, New Zealand, but tomorrow it's off to Germany. Oh the excitement! Thursday, June 7, 2007. I entered the room to find my brother and mum. Collected Short Stories of Saki. Is now besmirched – the cover’s all bent and manky. My. But a happy ending is on...
