Great to hear from you. I don't read...Hi Qimi<br /><br />Great to hear from you. I don't read as much as some of the other people on Lit Net do. I was always impressed on how much Dark Muse and Fifth Element use to read. I bet at least double what I have up there. <br /><br />My 2016 Reads are now up if you want to check them out.<br /><br />Thanks for commenting.Mannyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15396201693030286919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2833359394611156317.post-74321438613139335062016-01-19T14:27:44.172-05:002016-01-19T14:27:44.172-05:00I always enjoy reading your end of year list, Mann...I always enjoy reading your end of year list, Manny. How do you manage all that reading?<br /><br />I'm glad you like Saki-he's been one of my favorite short story writers since I was in middle school I got a book of his short stories from Scholastic; later as an adult I gave a complete selection of his stories to my brother who also enjoyed them immensely, particularly the Tobermory stories.<br /><br />And "Bartleby the Scriver" is indeed a masterpiece. Looking forward to your 2016 reads.<br /><br />Best to the family.<br /><br />QimiAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2833359394611156317.post-52810141601751992922016-01-17T20:44:37.729-05:002016-01-17T20:44:37.729-05:00Thank you Michael.

My convention is that in a list like that, I underline, and in the body of a paragraph I use italics. There are different ways of doing it, but you can read one approach here:<br />http://englishplus.com/grammar/00000112.htm<br /><br />You're welcome.

How do you m...Wow ... you really are amazing Manny. How do you manage to read so many books in one year? Do you have a book in each hand and read a page on the left and one on the right simultaneously?<br /><br />Why are some book titles underlined? I note my book Feline Catastrophes is underlined as well as Hugo's Miserables and Dostoevsky's Crime and Punishment. Are they all equally good or bad?<br /><br />I never read Crime and Punishment. But I saw the film with subtitles on - so it can be said I read it really.<br /><br />You're right - Feline Catastrophes and other humourous and Christian books are available free from my website - www.holyvisions.uk<br /><br />Thank you for the mention, Manny.
