Dear Irene,

I'd love to join in. As I live in France do you happen to know whether your time
zone compares favourably with that of Europe?
Best wishes,  Daphne Franklin

Hi There Daphne:

The USA has 4 time zones. In central time, Missouri, where we live, we are 7
hours behind you. The east coast of the USA will be 6 hours behind. My wife
Beverly (aka Heloise), who takes part in the book-chat, starts the chat at
8:30 pm central time. So, that would be 3:30 a.m. your time. I suggest you
go to bed at about 8 p.m, put the alarm on for about 3:15 a.m., drink a
large glass of Cognac, put your feet up, listen to some Edith Piaf, tune in
to the book-chat and enjoy yourself! We'd love to know which part of France
you live in. Beverly studied at the Sorbonne in Paris, and I worked for a
French company for 5 years, mostly travelling to the Alsace and Paris. I
love their outlook on life, which is simply, "Where is our next bottle of
wine coming from?"

Best wishes,

Ian

Beverly & Ian Jennings
bjennings3@...

Subject: Time for books suggestions for 2009 chats

Send Email Send Email
 
Hi, all!

It's that time of the year again.  July/August is when suggestions
roll in. We like to have it all set up by the fall so that people can
prepare their holiday wish list, and Bingley can do his shopping
while on home leave . . .

There are two givens: The next McCullough in our ongoing read of the
"Masters of Rome" series: "Caesar's Women" for which we'll need
probably three chats again considering past experience; and two
mysteries in December.

As usual, we are looking for a mix of fiction, non-fiction, and
ancient writers (another poet perhaps).

Caveats:

1.  New fiction should be at least a year old so that a paperback
edition may be available; and

2. oldies should be available either in the libraries or as used
books (check amazon.com or abebooks.com). Sometimes there are
reprints also, as happened with this year's "Ides of March."

This year's list:
http://romanhistorybooksandmore.freeservers.com/2008readlist.htm

My (by no means compete) reading list:
http://romanhistorybooksandmore.freeservers.com/booklist1a.htm

So put your thinking caps on!

For a couple of different views of Catilina, maybe we could read both
Saylor's "Catilina's Riddle" and Robert's "The Catiline Conspiracy (SPQR
II)" to contrast with the portrayal in "Imperium."

Two I like by Alfred Duggan - "Winter Quarters" about Crassus' failed
expedition to Parthia and "Children of the Wolf (aka "Founding Fathers")
about Romulus and how Rome was started.

The following are books I own but haven't read, so I can't vouch for their
quality:

Fiction:  Allan Massie: "Augustus", "Tiberius", "Caesar", "Nero's Heirs",
                         "Caligula"
           Rex Warner: "Young Caesar", "Imperial Caesar"
Ancient:  "Letters of the Younger Pliny"
           "Histories", "Annals" by Tacitus
Non-fiction: "Swords Against the Senate" by Erik Hildinger
           "Rubicon" by Tom Holland
           "Caesar" by Adrian Goldsworthy
           "The Education of Julius Caesar" by Arthur Kahn (may be hard to
            find)

Hi, all!

It's that time of the year again.  July/August is when suggestions
roll in. We like to have it all set up by the fall so that people can
prepare their holiday wish list, and Bingley can do his shopping
while on home leave . . .

There are two givens: The next McCullough in our ongoing read of the
"Masters of Rome" series: "Caesar's Women" for which we'll need
probably three chats again considering past experience; and two
mysteries in December.

As usual, we are looking for a mix of fiction, non-fiction, and
ancient writers (another poet perhaps).

Caveats:

1.  New fiction should be at least a year old so that a paperback
edition may be available; and

2. oldies should be available either in the libraries or as used
books (check amazon.com or abebooks.com). Sometimes there are
reprints also, as happened with this year's "Ides of March."

This year's list:
http://romanhistorybooksandmore.freeservers.com/2008readlist.htm

My (by no means compete) reading list:
http://romanhistorybooksandmore.freeservers.com/booklist1a.htm

Vicky's ideas on Catalina sound good.  I also own Rubicon by Tom Holland and
the Caesar biography by Goldsworthy.  I have read the Caesar biography but
not Rubicon.

I also own The Battle That Stopped Rome by Peter S. Wells and Ghosts of
Vesuvius by Charles Pellegrino.  Ghosts of Vesuvius has a subtitle: A new
look at the last days of Pompeii, How Towers Fall, and Other Strange
Connections.  I haven't read either of these yet.

Hi, all!

It's that time of the year again. July/August is when suggestions
roll in. We like to have it all set up by the fall so that people can
prepare their holiday wish list, and Bingley can do his shopping
while on home leave . . .

There are two givens: The next McCullough in our ongoing read of the
"Masters of Rome" series: "Caesar's Women" for which we'll need
probably three chats again considering past experience; and two
mysteries in December.

As usual, we are looking for a mix of fiction, non-fiction, and
ancient writers (another poet perhaps).

Caveats:

1. New fiction should be at least a year old so that a paperback
edition may be available; and

2. oldies should be available either in the libraries or as used
books (check amazon.com or abebooks.com). Sometimes there are
reprints also, as happened with this year's "Ides of March."

This year's list:

Richard, that's too bad!

I just tested it on Safari on my Mac OS 10.4, and it worked for me.

Do you otherwise have problems logging on to Facebook?

Irene, you expressed a need for 15 names, I tried to comply. Seems I repeatedly
have problems using my computer where you succeed, but I keep trying.  Since you
ask, I reply that have never logged on to Facebook. In re-reading your message
below, I note you state, "This is a request to those of you who are on
Facebook:"  I am not on Facebook and but I did register with them to place my
name in response to, "blog entries to be spidered by Blog Network News, I do
need 15 readers.".  My lack of computer skills is, of course, my problem.  I
started and continue to be part of a book club for more than twenty years ago. 
I read most of the books discussed in your group, but never have found a way to
log on or join in.  I apologize for not being of service. Richard
