Terminalcoffee discussion

Just joined good reads and wanted to make friends so i can get some good ideas on what to read next.
Diane Robinson

Welcome Diane

This group typically has a lot of good ideas about books, be more specific if you want some right away, or read the topics and lots will float by.

hey diane. welcome. i am reading City Of Joy right now. about 1/2 way into it and it is really a very good book. i saw you are reading a douglas preston book. i recently read The Monster Of Florence and really liked it too. if i have read any books you are interested in let me know and i can give my opinion on it

If you are up for something dark, The Road is an excellent book in my opinion.

thanks will do, im almost dione with the codex it is a great book

The book I most recently raved about was A Thousand Veils. It is a really fast read, based on a true story about an Iraqi journalist trying to escape the country and Saddam's persecution.

thanks will put it on the tbr list do you mind if i add you as a friend

Who, me?

*checks behind self*

Sure you can. Watch out for Larry and Jim, though.

why what up with them

Well, Larry claims to know Vern Einstein. And Jim got lost in the new age section of Barnes and Noble all day yesterday.

Watch out for Larry and Jim, though.

I'd take offense if it wasn't true ;-D.

how funny , oh well just happy to meet you all

I never actually claimed to know Vern. I claimed to know of him. Either would have been an outright lie -- but I just want to be accused accurately, Sally.

Hi, Diane. Watch out. Jim and I are dangerous.

Actually, Diane, watch out for me. I tend to lie. >:)

Hi Diane!

Hi Lori. Hi Sally/liar.

diane - they all scared me too until i realized i was one of them

The British spelling is realised.

you all sound like a true bunch of fun people glad I joined liars or not I like you all now tell me all your favorite books

HI lori

Larry - i think they also say arse

ok diane - alaska by james michener is one of my all time favs. that and girl named zippy by haven kimmel

I don't know Diane. I sense you are telling a lie. That's good. You'll fit in here. Go to my profile and you see all of my 4 or 5 star books. Truthfully.

well you will have to get to know me to find out if im lying huh?

Hi Diane. Welcome to Terminal Coffee.
I have an awful lot of favorite books. Have you got a few hours?

You have to put some kind of picture up before we can get to know you better. I mean ... even if it's a lie as mine is.

i will look at your profile and yes love sugestions
wow i would love to work at a library.

Watch out. Jackie wants to correct your spelling. (Hint: sugestions)

my daughter used to say when she was 6 and i took her to the library "when i get older i am going to live AND work here" as she loved the library so much

she started working there when she was 15 and when she got out of college she began full time there. she is my inside at library and stashes new books and such for me (and no fines)

Larry, I just now noticed your picture is Willie Nelson.
I love Willie!!!

You were always on my mind.

Your picture is a lie Larry
::drops down to his knees holding his head::

I'm devastated, I thought I knew a Willie Nelson look alike.

Yeah well ... I used to look like Homer Simpson.

Both icons, but I think you have the right one for the pot thread.

Oh I get it now your like a chameleon

And guess what? I'm on the road again!

Kevin - what was your last name? I'm so reporting you!

Wow, I am so jealous. To be one of the first to get an eagerly anticipate book, instead of 240 on the holds list.

okay does this help you can see my family

Here's a picture for your avatar:

No, it's not that I WANT to correct people's spelling. It's that occasionally I can't help myself.

Diane, I'm a children's and teen librarian, so a lot of my favorites are kids' books. I also love SF and Fantasy. One of my favorite authors is Robin McKinley, who wrote these:

Beauty A Retelling of the Story of Beauty and the Beast
and
The Blue Sword

I also love Diana Wynne Jones and Terry Pratchett, British authors who write funny fantasy. Diana's humor is much, much drier than Terry's though.

I've also read tons of mysteries, though not lately. I think I've read everything by Agatha Christie, most of Ellis Peters, and quite a bit of Anne Perry and Sue Grafton.

I'm glad to see you're finally coming oiut of your shell, Jim.

Lets hope I don't see my shadow

::wonders what happens when a turtle sees its shadow::

lori - one of my daughter's jobs is to unpack new books. she texts me when they come in and holds them for me on the D.L. she loves me and she's my fav daughter. i got all kind of inside's at the library like the magazine girl, the reference and children's library people etc. i play santa for them at christmas and it pays off

Um ... I think turtles are too close to the ground to even have a shadow.

well then I'm going back in my shell

NO! Nononono! *Pokes under Jim's shell to get him back out.*

Bad Larry! Bad! *pokes Larry with said stick*

oh guys don't be shy

this seems to be a more than active evening. fun though

Am I the only one that thinks Kevin would look kinda creepy in a Santa suit?

::ducks to avoid stick, sticks out tongue::

I miss Austin, Diane.

it's OK Sally, just time for a nap, its a lot of work for us turtles to get around.
