Icecream Posted September 20, 2007 Posted September 20, 2007 I have hardly read any. I need to get a move on. Quote
LittleLijah Posted September 21, 2007 Posted September 21, 2007 Can't write my review because I haven't even received my book yet:roll: Quote
madcow Posted September 21, 2007 Posted September 21, 2007 Mine arrived today, Silent Spring, can't remember who by! Quote
Mia Posted September 22, 2007 Posted September 22, 2007 I keep "forgetting" about my review. Ahem. Quote
Weave Posted September 23, 2007 Posted September 23, 2007 I got my copy last week, its in the pile x:D Quote
happyanddandy Posted September 23, 2007 Posted September 23, 2007 ok it's all done! Just have to wait for review to be posted - hooray. Quote
~Andrea~ Posted September 24, 2007 Posted September 24, 2007 Oh well done H&D I've just finished the introduction to mine and I actually think I might enjoy it (fingers crossed) Quote
Freewheeling Andy Posted September 24, 2007 Posted September 24, 2007 I find the official introductions on the Penguin Classics tend to be pompous, dreary and annoying and detract from the books themselves. Certainly on mine for the blog, the real foreward written at the time by the co-author is fascinating; the introduction by the dreary academic is, well, dreary and academic. Quote
~Andrea~ Posted September 24, 2007 Posted September 24, 2007 I found mine helpful for giving me some background and setting it in context otherwise I think I would have struggled seeing as I knew nothing about Meister Eckhart (although I haven't read the actual book yet) Quote
happyanddandy Posted September 24, 2007 Posted September 24, 2007 Mine is now for sale on Amazon Quote
aromaannie Posted September 27, 2007 Posted September 27, 2007 My review was published whilst I was away on holiday - no comments so at least it can't have been that bad Quote
angerball Posted September 27, 2007 Posted September 27, 2007 I don't think I'm going to have time to read my book or write my review within the timeframe they wanted. I wonder how I'll be punished. Quote

angerball Posted September 29, 2007 Posted September 29, 2007 Hanging without a doubt Uh-oh! I better get cracking, then! Quote
Hazeltree Posted September 29, 2007 Posted September 29, 2007 I've finished my book, but no idea how to start the review!!! I'm going to have a look at the ones on the site and try and work out what I am doing Quote
Nici Posted September 30, 2007 Posted September 30, 2007 I must remind my sister to do my review! Quote
LittleLijah Posted October 1, 2007 Posted October 1, 2007 The horrible brown envelope arrived on Friday! Quote
Liz Posted October 6, 2007 Posted October 6, 2007 Has anyone sent off their review, yet? Are any of them up on the site? Quote
happyanddandy Posted October 6, 2007 Posted October 6, 2007 Has anyone sent off their review, yet? Are any of them up on the site? Posted mine maybe 2-3 weeks ago - nothing yet on the site - I tink they email you when it's going on. Someone here has had theirs posted but I can't remember who - maybe angerball? Quote
Liz Posted October 6, 2007 Posted October 6, 2007 Do you think they read through them and only post the ones that they think are suitable, i.e., is it written well, does it make some good observations on the book, etc. Or do they just post them up no matter what the reviews are like? Quote
happyanddandy Posted October 6, 2007 Posted October 6, 2007 I am not sure - going by the Shakespeare one maybe they just post uncensored - we shall see!! Quote
aromaannie Posted October 6, 2007 Posted October 6, 2007 Posted mine maybe 2-3 weeks ago - nothing yet on the site - I tink they email you when it's going on. Someone here has had theirs posted but I can't remember who - maybe angerball? Mines up, this is how I feel about it Quote
