You already know I like you, I'm sure. You're the second to mention Don't Let's Go to the Dogs Tonight. It's one I really want to read!!<br /><br />TJ,<br /><br />Welcome! It's nice to meet you. :) I haven't read Reading Lolita in Tehran, although I'm pretty sure I have a copy in a pile of books I got from a salvage store.<br /><br />Isn't Cellini's autobiography a hoot? For pure entertainment value, I've never found anyone who could beat him. He was so full of himself, but he also did a marvelous job of describing the times and his adventures were mind-blowing.Bookfoolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08247136634069540446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29370872.post-49110333184668543112009-04-26T18:46:00.000-05:002009-04-26T18:46:00.000-05:00I just discovered your blog and look very much for...I just discovered your blog and look very much forward to being able to read your thoughts in the future. :3<br /><br />In the meantime, I'd like to enter the giveaway (spiffyish @ hotmail.com). My favorite memoir is Azar Nafisi's "Reading Lolita in Tehran", because it presses many of my "happy buttons": literature, Iran, and beautifully strong women.<br /><br />...Cellini's memoir did crack me up though.

You're the second to recommend the Ishmael Beah book, so I'll have to look it up.<br /><br />Kalea,<br /><br />How sweet! Thanks for following me. I've never read Heartburn, but I think I might have a bashed-up library reject of that book, somewhere. I just have this vague memory. I loved The Hiding Place. It's hard reading, but so good. It really is one of my favorites, but I read it so long ago that I'd forgotten. <br /><br />Cats are cool. I just watched a video of a cat coming through its little cat door, followed by a doe coming through the same door.

I love unique names, book lovers and now book fools too! :) Now I am devoted to the book Heartburn by Nora Ephron which does tell the tale of the breakup of her marriage, and honestly is the quickest read I ever had. It was funny when I watched When Harry Met Sally years later, because some of the dialogue in it is taken from Heartburn, but I don't think it was used in the movie Heartburn. :) Now if you don't want to count that. I also really loved The Hiding Place by Corrie Ten Boom. Boy are those two different!<br /><br />PS Blog follower too. :) I also love cats. ;)<br /><br />Thanks a lot.<br /><br />kalea_kane(at)yahoo(dot)comkalea_kanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11645846028493046287noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29370872.post-89463594744197928962009-04-25T13:14:00.000-05:002009-04-25T13:14:00.000-05:00Les,
