I love hearing stories from you like the massive bonfire whilst camping, they really keep me going during a time of such solitude. I could listen to you tell them all day long! It seems as though all we can do at the moment is relive old adventures or read about those of others, and maybe dream a little about some time in the future when we may be able to venture out in the world again.
I read the first few Camber books by Kurtz back in the day (including the one you showed I am sure). My memory is that there was no personality differences between the characters.
March of the Mammoths for me next month. I know, I will have to give in and start my own Booktube channel so I can contribute, but not yet. My first late husband and I used to spend winter weekends watching Alec Guinness as George Smiley, so enjoyable and so well filmed. There was such pathos in the story. But the minute I hear the name Smiley I am taken back to our home and those long cold or snowy weekends tucked up together. Thank you for that bittersweet memory.
I've never been to the Brattle, but I daydream of living within walking distance of that wonderful shop. The Garnett and Eliot volumes are great finds. Enjoy your talks. I always discover books and authors unknown to me.
Cockroaches are mine too 😬 Something about knowing that if you see one, there's probably already an infestation. I saw a HUGE one in Texas fly half the length of our motel and I didn't sleep either.
..enjoyed McCammon's books in the 90s (w/ many others!) ... re: "John le Carré" (David Cornwell), so sad to read that he passed away in December ...(big fan of his post-Cold War, especially his post-9/11 novels ...still a few on my TBR..) thanks for posting!
"Camber of Culdi"! I spent some of my thirties reading quite a few books in that series. I got that very copy for the first one as a gift, but the rest I read in mass market paperback editions. Unfortunately, none of those books migrated to Idaho with me, so all I have now are on Kindle. I remember enjoying them quite a bit, but I never finished the series and haven't re-read the ones I have on Kindle, not could I tell you the plot of any of them. It's probably time for a reread. Maybe in April or May. I've read some Charlotte Macleod books, but not that one. Sounds fun!
sorry to be so offtopic but does anyone know a trick to get back into an Instagram account..? I stupidly forgot the account password. I would appreciate any tips you can give me.
@Shiloh Kieran Thanks so much for your reply. I got to the site on google and Im trying it out now. Looks like it's gonna take a while so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
Hello Steve. It’s been a while since I’ve read a murder mystery. I have a ton of paperback romance books that I haven’t gotten to yet. I have a ton of romance books piled up on my bed waiting to be read.
Speaking of Beacon Hill, what ever happened to the channel Beacon Hill Books? Between Le Carre and a novelization of a Herzog film, this is something of a Kelly haul.
It's this filming location! Since I'm up on a chair, she's not able to just saunter into view! She's all over my Instagram, if that's any consolation, but yes, I'll try to get her back on-camera here!
Oh no, I like them - this is a very, very good writer - but none of the other novels seem anything like this one, which has always made me wonder if maybe this was a very early book, brushed up and lengthened for later publication -
@@saintdonoghue l apologize. My comment was a bit harsh. I do enjoy listening to you speak. Your commentary on Jodan Peterson was fantastic i likecthe way you have things centered around the Brattle Bookshop..I worked there quite a few years ago....at the time they moved down the street. That was a lot of work! I would like to subscribe but am unsure of such things ,
A Jungle in the House sounds wonderful too!!!

Well at least I'm glad I can help a bit!

Ooh you should do a March Mystery Starter Kit.

You can at least have the Brattle vicariously, with me! I'll try to swing again next week!

@Shiloh Kieran It worked and I now got access to my account again. I'm so happy:D
Thanks so much, you really help me out :D
@Ares Coleman you are welcome :D

Beacon Hill Books! Now that's a good question - what happened to that channel?
The Wolf's Hour in paperback is over $1,000 on Amazon and over $700 in hard back on Amazon!
Whaaaaaaaat???? The paperback is $1000????
@@saintdonoghue Or you can get it on Kindle for $7.99!
@@leegoulter514 Yes, that's the only way I am reading it!
@@saintdonoghue Yes, more than the hard back. I thought you might like to know it was a profitable day at the used book store for you!
The Chrysanthemum Throne was written by Peter Martin. The real name of James Melville though is Roy Peter Martin. Different people
I miss seeing Freida, will she be making a visit soon?
It's this filming location! Since I'm up on a chair, she's not able to just saunter into view! She's all over my Instagram, if that's any consolation, but yes, I'll try to get her back on-camera here!
@@saintdonoghue She's a cutie!. I had 3 schnauzers all died of old age, so love seeing her!
After 10k subscribers you probably will have to use ''a call to action'' at the start and end of every video
Yes! Plus a BARRAGE of pre-roll and mid-roll ads, and of course a merch store!
at last some horror books!
Hah! Yes, sorry - I know they aren't much represented here!
Steve - just get a kitten and you could have 100K subscribers in a week and a half 😼.
A kitten!!! I can't really imagine actually living with a cat -
You're not a fan of Boys Life or Speaks the Nightbird? I can see not being a fan of Swan Song
Oh no, I like them - this is a very, very good writer - but none of the other novels seem anything like this one, which has always made me wonder if maybe this was a very early book, brushed up and lengthened for later publication -
Im torn! SOMETIMES your videos are so good . Othet times they are a waste of time. Why review junk lit...?
As I've had occasion to mention before on this channel, your book-snobbery is not my problem.
