I am a total Book Madame! I love reading and I am also a bibliophile. I am extremely picky about my bookshelves.First, my bookshelves all match. Second they are in alphabetical order by author. Finally, I have a special bookshelf in my room for my favorite authors and collectable books. This way I know that no one will touch my "special books".
I completely have OCD when it comes to my books. But they completely deserve the special attention that they get.
My favorite all time poet who also has earned extremely special status is Rod McKuen. Amazing american poet who is also a songwriter. He has a wonderful voice and his writing he just puts his whole heart and soul into his songs and poems. Rod wrote several pieces for Frank Sinatra, wrote music for the movie "The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie" and even the theme for Charlie Brown. His autobiography, Finding my Father is just amazing.
Ernest Hemingway is one of my all time favorite prose writers. A must read is "Farewell to Arms". And of course "Old Man and the Sea". And I must say that Ernest is very brillant and handsome!
My favorite humourist is Mark Twain. Who couldn't love his satire? "Huckleberry Finn" is my very favorite of his but I also love "Life on the Mississippi". I haven't read all of his work but plan on completing his extensive and amazing prose.
I also adore English writer Ian McEwan. He is great as his books leave you in complete amazement. I really enjoyed "Atonement" but I would say that "On Chesil Beach" and "In the Comfort of Strangers" are my favorite prose work form McEwan.
The greatest fantasy work is "Lord of the Rings" Tolkein has done an amazing job. He is completely brilliant. When it comes to Fantasy I also love Robert Jordan and his Wheel of Time series. In addition absolutely love Brandon Sanderson and the Mistborn Series.
Robert Jordan passed away before the Wheel of Time Series was completed. Jordan's wife picked Brandon Sanderson to complete the series. Wow! Sanderson has done a fabulous job. It is hard for me to be impressed but they both (Jordan and Sanderson) are amazing, descriptive and cleaver writers and they have done a great job. I would highly recommend reading the Wheel of Time Series.
I also love Virginia Woolf, Jane Austen, E.M. Forester, John Irving and Robert Frost. Reading is so statisfing. I just can't read enough!
I just have to say that this is truely the most wonderful group in the WORLD. I have the sweetest most amazing friends. I love all of you so much!
Thank you Rach, Kandice, Allison, Heather, Jackie, Becky, Laura, Jon, Fi and Jeane.
You are all the best. Thanks for all your love and support to this little blue smurf!
This group would not be complete without a little smurf. Thus I have blessed this group with my smurfness. I inherited the nickname as my avitar in Goodreads is and will always be a smurf. I would like to say I am a little bit of brainy, a little bit hefty, and a lot of papa smurf.
I love this little vine family. We have an extremely close bond that started out with sharing a common interest in books. This spread to a wonderful friendship amoung our cute little group.
At this point I guess I should probably introduce myself. I am an avid reader and love to dive into a book and eat it up. I always say "books are food for the brain". My favorite writers are Hemingway, Twain, McEwan, Shakespeare, Austen, Eliot, and Woolf. I love poetry and my favorite poets are Rod McKuen and Robert Frost.
Not only do I read but I enjoy quilting, and making scrapbooks. I love the outdoors and go for long bike rides when the weather permits. I am a dancer and rock climber. I really enjoy climbing rock walls. I love the outdoors. Camping is so wonderful!
I am the mother of three extremely beautiful children. They are all blessed with talents that fill my soul with happiness. I have a dog, two cats and a turtle.
This is the smurf in a nut shell!
