Now, coming upon this post as you are, unawares, I feel I ought to clarify the title (which was alternately going to be sex libris) straight away by telling you what this post is not, in fact, about.

The author's name is Naomi Novik, and the title of the book is Temeraire for the UK edition, and His Majesty's Dragon for the US edition. It's set during the Napoleonic Wars, slightly pre-Trafalgar. Napoleon's army is tearing Europe... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (AngelRC22) http://mostlyruss.yuku.com/topic/917 Thu, 11 May 2006 16:27:47 GMT http://mostlyruss.yuku.com/topic/922/t/Great-NYTimes-article-about-Hollywood-themed-books.html Hollywood Animal, plus some others that sound interesting... including some novels. Russell is even mentioned in at least one, it seems [just in passing.]

This is the one that other Australian authors voted the best Australian novel ever written. I don't know if I'd go that far but I do love Winton and the book is wonderful - the story of two families and an old house in Perth, over a period of... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (Evany2) http://mostlyruss.yuku.com/topic/923 Tue, 06 Jan 2004 20:16:43 GMT http://mostlyruss.yuku.com/topic/920/t/Dirt-Music.html
What a GREAT read. It's different reading from what I'd normally read, but it was VERY good. I had to look up a few pics of some of the flora and fauna that was described in the book as not being a native of Australia, I had no idea what these plant-lives were.

Would love to see this as a movie.....can DEFINITELY see Russell as Lu Fox, but I can't see Nicole as Georgie, though.

So, if anyone is interested in a mystery series, here are my recommendations, in no particular order.

PD James -- her hero, Adam Dalgliesh, is a detective at Scotland Yard, a tragic widower and a published poet. Very serious stuff and very very well-plotted.

Martha Grimes, her hero, Richard Jury, is also... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (babzee) http://mostlyruss.yuku.com/topic/921 Sun, 28 Sep 2003 23:09:50 GMT http://mostlyruss.yuku.com/topic/925/t/Summer-2003-Reading-List.html pub110.ezboard.com/fmostlyrussfrm1.showMessageRange?topicID=398.topic&start=81&stop=100

What books do you remember most? Which ones affected you the most? I tried to come up with my list, quickly and "off the top of my head".

Books introduce us to great figures in history, narratives that stir our spirit, fictions that tug us out of ourselves and into the lives of a thousand others, and visions of every era through which human beings have lived.

And in the process of stretching who we are, books also connect us to all others --... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (TXKittie) http://mostlyruss.yuku.com/topic/924 Wed, 03 Sep 2003 22:38:32 GMT
