Hi,
My name is Lynda Coker. I just wanted to introduce myself and share a few links that you’ll find on my blog, BETWEEN THE PAGES. Whether you’re a blogger, writer, reader, or just a person who enjoys surfing the web for great content, I think you’ll enjoy some of these.Have a great year in 2010!
My name is Chris Tusa, and I'm a writer from New Orleans. I am writing because my debut novel, Dirty Little Angels, is now available, and I was hoping you might be willing to mention it on your blog (or review it). If you're interested, I'd be glad to send you an e-book version of the book. Just let me know. I've included a summary of the novel below:
Dirty Little Angels
Set in the slums of New Orleans, among clusters of crack houses and abandoned buildings, Dirty Little Angels is the story of sixteen year old Hailey Trosclair. When the Trosclair family suffers a string of financial hardships and a miscarriage, Hailey finds herself looking to God to save her family. When her prayers go unanswered, Hailey puts her faith in Moses Watkins, a failed preacher and ex-con. Fascinated by Moses's lopsided view of religion, Hailey, and her brother Cyrus, begin spending time down at an abandoned bank that Moses plans to convert into a drive-through church. Gradually, though, Moses's twisted religious beliefs become increasingly more violent, and Hailey and Cyrus soon find themselves trapped in a world of danger and fear from which there may be no escape.
If you'd like to read the first chapter before you commit, feel free to visit my web site:

Thanks Stewart. Will check your post regularly.
The Railway is an amazing book. Its in the line of One hundred years of solitude. Lot of fables, folklore and stuff, than a typical fiction with one thread of story. none the less, awesome read. one of the best I have read recently.
Hi , I happened to see you here and visited your blog, which is very impressive. I also sensed your interest in World Literature. I am engaged in an effort to read books from 100 different countries. I believe, you could be of great help to me.. I am currently at 51 and have about 6 books in my reading list.
Stewart - I was perusing the membership list of this site and I saw that you are from Glasgow. In my non-bibliocentric world, I started a medical software company and one of our clients is Southern General Hospital in Glasgow. Your website piqued my interest and after visiting the site, I was really impressed.
After looking at some of the books you reviewed, I would like to offer one that I rarely see mentioned. The book is "The Master and Margarita" by Mikhail Bulgakov. It sometimes gets lost among other Russian literature, but I still believe that it's one of the great works of the 20th century. If you've read the book, I'm curious about your thoughts. If not, I strongly recommend it!
