oops.

It gave me a good laugh.

I thought it was very zen...

bears are back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Finished The House Next Door by Anne Rivers Siddons. I really enjoyed it although I think the ending fell a little short.
Now I can focus all my attention on Choke.
Jean did you finish Fight Club yet, or are you still currently reading it?
Only the gentle are ever really strong.
Currently reading, and getting more and more bored. I read Survivor a few months ago - I can't understand how someone can chew the same snot over and over, page after page. Haunted was better, but only if separate stories are considered, not the whole.

I am so glad I'm re-reading The Shining!
I'm getting a LOT more out of it than I did the first time! Even if I weren't writing my essay, I'm much more able to "read" the book (meaning reading between the lines) than before!
Reading "Conspiracies" third book in the Repairman Jack series. Really intense, and scary. It embodies the phrase "curiouser and curiouser".
"It's his eyes, Roland thought. They were wide and terrible, the eyes of a dragon in human form" - Roland seeing the Crimson King for the first time.
"When the King comes and the Tower falls, sai, all such pretty things as yours will be broken. Then there will be darkness and nothing but the howl of Discordia and the cries of the can toi" - From Song of Susannah
You need to stop trying to sell me on these Repairman Jack books - if you could see the unread pile I have now.....

Don't help!
Just finished Started by His Furry Shorts by Louise Rennison and am starting a reread of Eyes of the Dragon by Stephen King.

I've just started rereading Ken Grimwood's Replay. It's a fantastic book with a storyline that just won't quit!

Change of plans. Now my reading schedule will be determined by the book club, assuming we get it running!Originally Posted by razz
No, I mean they are truly great.Don't help!
I've just started Daphne DeMarier's Jamaica Inn and a reread of Anthony Burgess' Clockwork Orange.
Let me know how this is Brice. I've got Rebecca on my bookshelf still waiting to be read, but I've been curious about this one as well.

I will. I read Rebecca in elementary school. It's a great book. This copy of Jamaica Inn I found appears to be a first edition....and it cost .50.Let me know how this is Brice. I've got Rebecca on my bookshelf still waiting to be read, but I've been curious about this one as well.
Have you seen the Hitchcock film before?
Jamaica Inn? Yes I finally tracked it down. I have to say that I didn't really care too much for it though. After reading up on it, I saw that he didn't really put too much effort into it, and that he pretty much did it so that he could obtain the rights to do Rebecca, so that probably explains why.

Well, there's that...and I've read that Laughton made some difficult demands upon Hichcock. I agree though, it was far from one of his best films and my understanding is quite a bit was changed from the book. I'll soon find out.
I am reading Blaze, and it's like eating rye bread with whole milk after days of paper-and-glue pie (Joe Hill) and snot-and-maggots puddling (Palahniuk).

Oh no Jean! Your just not having luck with any books lately are you.
Only the gentle are ever really strong.
yes, I am! With Duma Key, for example - the best book I've read in years.

Hmmm...I like Joe Hill AND Palahnuick--but I was very disappointed with Blaze, I haven't even finished it yet...and I rarely put a book down without finishing.
I am reading "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep" by Philip K. Dick. I'm not as into it as I was A Scanner Darkly, but it's still good. Interesting premis anyway.
YOU MUST CHILL. I HAVE HIDDEN YOUR KEYS.
I don't know if I am going to like the whole of Blaze - I only started, and read about 20 pages before I had to go to work - but I know I loved the beginning, and I am so looking forward to reading now!
::crawls to his den with the book::
(and I know most everyone liked HSBox and Fight Club... it's a mystery to me, which I hope to discuss in Hill and Palahniuk threads later)

*shrug* ah, different strokes baby, hope you like Blaze tho'I did.
The answer is within
all matter is energy, all energy is GOD
Yes, when you get the time, please post your thoughts. I'd love to hear them.

so jean, tell us how you really feel.
