Janet - Crowds are where my social anxiety tends to kick up strongest. Not fun.

Hugs for #5...I feel that way, too, sometimes.

Wendi - I'm always glad to encounter another non-fan of Wuthering Heights - the book, anyway. I like the Kate Bush song based on it, but it's over a lot faster than the book is :-).

Thinger: You know, I loved one of Anita Shreve's books, but then tried another and was NOT liking it, so haven't picked up any of her other books. I also didn't like Wuthering Heights at all - always felt bad about that, but can't change the way I feel. :)

Thanks for stopping by and participating in Thingers last week! I've got the post up for this week, have you seen the new customizable widgets on LT? ~ Wendi

Louise - Glad you stopped by, and I'll look forward to seeing you more often when things settle down a bit.

Nicole - Despite its "classic" status and my understanding that it's very well written, I have NO desire to read Lolita. At all. Ever. However, I must admit that my reaction to Fortune's Rocks was colored by personal experience (my ex-husband and his much younger second wife, whose relationship started before he was my ex-husband), and without that I might not have disliked it quite so much.

Mike - Be sure to post pictures from the ice show! I know you're glad to be done with late shifts.

Oh yeah, taxes were the big project two weekends ago, weren't they? Yes, they're done and e-filed, and the IRS has been paid. We are patiently waiting for a refund from the state, since they've supposedly stopped with the IOUs. Are YOURS done :-)?

Wendy (Literary Feline) - You were the one who steered me toward LT in the first place, so thank you!

#2 on the FFIs was a tricky one for me, and since my social anxiety tends to kick in when I'm in a crowd, #5 is quite true for me.

I'll be busy Saturday, but we really have no plans for Sunday, and that's fine. We're due for a fairly quiet weekend - March was crazy!
Enjoy your own quiet weekend, Wendy! Sometimes I find I can get more don when my boss is gone, but as you note, being second in command - and first in absentia - does have its own headaches.

LibraryThing is wonderful, isn't it? I still keep my EXCEL list of TBR books, which is separate from my LT catalog, but LT definitely makes things easier.

I really haven't had any inclination to read The Bridges of Madison County, but I did read and really like Fortune's Rock. :-) My least favorite book? Any play by Shakespeare perhaps.

Well, you know where I stand on libraries--much the same as you really.

My first thought with #1 on the fill-in's was Buffy too. :-) I tried for a more bookish theme though. I never did figure out what to put for #1 and so threw in the title of a book. The second one came to me in the middle of the night (I woke up suddenly and had to change my original response to the new one), which is why it's not worded quite like I might have done if I'd been fully awake.

Number 5 is so true sometimes! I hope you have a great weekend, Florinda. I have no plans as of right now. I just want it to be quiet. My boss was out of town all this week and will be on vacation next week so I'm standing in for her. It comes with its own set of headaches. I'm just glad I'm not on call like she would be if she were here.

I'm finishing my midnights up tonight, so I'll be awake during the day this weekend. Yay! :) My daughter has her ice show tomorrow, it was "interesting" tonight.

The big question is, did you get your taxes done? :)

2009-04-03T17:27:00.000-07:00

I couldn't get into Lolita for the same reasons that you didn't like Fortune's Rocks. I know it's a classic, but it just didn't hold my attention.

2009-04-03T08:55:00.000-07:00

I'm so sorry I haven't been around your blog for a long time. I haven't been blogging much myself, but I just wanted to drop by and say hi, wish you a good weekend and a nice Easter (if you celebrate that) and apologize for being scarce.

I am finishing my Master thesis and this takes up most of my time. Hopefully, by the end of May, I will be able to blog more and participate more around the blogosphere.

I am still reviewing books from time to time on my blog, but I am not really active.

I don't expect you to come running visiting and commenting, I just wanted to let you know that I am very much alive and I miss reading and commenting on your blog very much.

This is a personal message written to all the blogowner, whose delightful blogs I visit on a regular basis, but it has been copy/pasted. So if you find it on other blogger's blogs, that is why.

I look very much forward to be active again - and apologize once again for not being active the past month and not being able to be active for another month or two.

Louise,

Billy Rhythm - I know I saw that response on one other person's FFI, but I can't remember whose. Maybe it was yours :-)?

You know, of all the other FFIs I've looked at today, you're the only other one who had "beans" as the answer to #3. And my mom really did say it too!
