It's why I've almost totally neglected the area. I'm trying to get past it (obviously helped by a great many of AR's posts).nicolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17532641082944082516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4972764383963459152.post-77793131892355131962010-11-03T11:13:33.669-04:002010-11-03T11:13:33.669-04:00Try reading 'Assassin's Creed: The Novel&#...Try reading 'Assassin's Creed: The Novel'.

I wonder whether novels by female writers would come across as different.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4972764383963459152.post-2526999332843093102010-11-01T15:39:35.995-04:002010-11-01T15:39:35.995-04:00Amateur Reader: Today is the anniversary of Jarry&...Amateur Reader: Today is the anniversary of Jarry's death at the tender age of 34! I will look for him - and yes, a return to Colette is definitely in order!<br /><br />Trapunto: You know, tossing books is easier now that I've been a bookseller, if only because I have a much clearer idea of what's hard to find and what is as ubiquitous as coat hangers.

One book had a disemboweling in it, so I disemboweled it first.<br /><br />Did your time as a bookstore proprietor make it easier to send books to the trash?Trapuntohttp://villanegativa.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4972764383963459152.post-84755525402613790072010-10-31T22:23:37.426-04:002010-10-31T22:23:37.426-04:00Man, sounds like you need some Victor Hugo.
