I hope the silence on here means that everyone is busy reading and staying warm! i just wanted to drop by and say hello.
At the moment i am reading "Eat, Pray and Love", by Elizabeth Gilbert. I also borrowed "On The Couch", bio from Lorraine Brasco..she played Dr. Melfi on the Sopranos. She is talking about her life as well as her struggle with depression.
I recently purchased Janis Ian's Bio after seeing her on PBS "Society's Child"..still love her .
Recent Library find is Edith Wharton..4 novellas "Old New York". She was the first woman to win the Pulitzer Prize for writing "The Age Of Innocence". She was born in 1862 into one of NY's older and richer families was educated here and abroad. Her works include Ethan Fromme, The House Of Mirth, The Custom of the Country, etc. As a keen observer and chronicler of society she is without peer. Edith Wharton died in France in 1937.
I have also purchased and will continue to...gently read paperbacks from my library so that we can somehow start a book swap.
any ideas?

Too funny. i just got through watching am episode of The Adventures of Young Indiana Jones and he was escorting Edith Wharton around Arabia. After the episode it did a short bio on her and her books! I don't know about swap but it sounds great! -
