i loved the disapparation of james!

Holy hell, you know Anne Ursu? Nobody knows her!

She used to write an absolutely wonderful, legendary baseball blog about the Twins. Sadly, she had to give it up when she had a baby. It took me while after subscribing to her blog (which she wrote under the nom de plume of Bat-Girl) to find out that she had a "close personal friend" who wrote professionally and had a few books out there. I read Spilling Clarence and found that I loved her books as much as her blog.

Why the smilie?

Not enjoying it?

Its very interesting for sure but some of it plays like a soap opera and I'm really wishing something would just...happen.

hmmmm. baseball? not so much.

her books. can't get enough of them and wish she would write them faster. the disapparation of james was the best yet in my opinion.
it made the barnes and noble discover new writers section.
so i'm sure lots of people will know her now.

I am trying to read Lord of the Flies again. This time in English. I hope I can finish it at last.

[Daghain]

Ooh, I LOVED that book!

[Bluenose]

Dracula! Seemed the time of year for it!

Irish Dawn: Duma Key is one of the best books I've read in my life. I am seriously thinking of it replacing Misery, or maybe Desperation, in my Top Five King Novels.

I would currently put Duma Key in my top 5. There was just something about that book, I really grew to love the characters, and I just got so wrapped up in the story. There hasn't been a book in quite some time that I've enjoyed as much as that one.

currently reading: nothing.

not a goddamned thing. i can't concentrate on anything. i've got this beautiful JAS edition sitting here and i've made it through one fucking story. one. count it. ONE.

i can't even get through more than 15 minutes of needful things on my ipod.

what the fuck is wrong with me???????

Picking up Nietzsche (sp?) for the first time today. Nearly through DT 3 for the second time.

[John_and_Yoko]

Halfway through Desperation!

This is a FAST read!

We had to study that at School, which can often have the effect of making you hate a book for life!
But no, I really liked Lord of the Flies. Been years since I read it now.

I hated it. We've had a conversation with Nikolett in Books So Bad They Make You Anemic about that.

[LadyHitchhiker]

I am reading The Gunslinger by Stephen King... I wonder if anybody here has ever heard of that book before...

[Brice]

Stephen King? Who the hell is that?

[Darkthoughts]

Jean, I am not fond of Lord of the Flies either. I don't understand all the fuss people make over it.

[LadyHitchhiker]

I have never read the lord of the flies but from the description I wouldn't like it.

[Wuducynn]

Stephen King? Who the hell is that?

Some romance novelist, like Jackie Collins I think.

Yeah, I've heard he writes under the pen name of Stephen King, but his real name is Paul Sheldon.

It wasn't the content that I disliked, I just found the narrative boring.

[Brice]

At least in this we disagree, Lisa. This is one of those rare books I had to read in school that I like despite having had to read it.

[Darkthoughts]

I tried to read it many times and lost interest. I forced myself through the whole thing this year and still didn't enjoy it. My Dad however is like Ted Brautigan in relation to this book He recommends it to the world!

That's excellent LV. What Nietzsche are you starting with? I love Nietzsche.

I also really liked Lord of the Flies. It's been awhile since I read it last, but I always thought it was excellent.

[Wuducynn]

I have yet to read Lord of the Flies, but the inclusion of it in Low Men in Yellow Coats has sparked my interest, I just haven't gotten around to it.

You don't know him?

Stephen King is...
