Mousetrap and Other Plays by Agatha Christie.
Thanks to a dear @ .net I am reading Insomnia again.
only this time its my book!!:rock:
A Wrinkle In Time. I found it at Wal Mart today for under 5 bucks. I read most of it sitting in the park today. For a short while, I was 9 again and head over heels for Calvin.
:cry: and now I am back to being bookless.
I'm reading "Fistful of Rain" by Greg Rucka. It's good, it's really, really good.
Just started The Testament of Gregory Mack - I hope its as good as the blurb on the back cover!
Just finished The Road last night, one hell of a brilliant book....and now I am reading Dancing Wu Li Masters by Gary Zukav.
**in response to Sarah listening to W&G**
Isn't it wonderful? :cool:
agreed.... they were one of the best parts of that book!Quote:

I enjoyed it, but it took me awhile to get into it... but that's true for me with most Clive Barker books.
About 2/3 through David McCullough's biography of John Adams - a truly insightful read.
People were a lot smarter 200 years ago than they are today!
Archie's Pals 'n Gals Double Digest
Truly gripping literature. :lol:
Maybe I can find some Vonnegut at the library today to supplement my slow-ass reading of Lisey's Story.
I've noticed that about some of CB's books - they take a while to get into, but if you stick with the story it really ends up paying off.Quote:

That's the way I was with Great and Secret Show. Very slow start but I loved the hell out of it.
This may seem strange but even though Kevin Costner butchered the movie, The Postman is a great book.
I liked the idea behind The Postman and was able to look past Mr Costner. I enjoyed the movie personally. I thought that Tom Petty had a great part in it heheh.

The book itself is the idea realized. And the cool part about it is that it makes so much sense.
I love that movie. I have never understood why people hate it so much.
I just started "HAUNTED" by Chuck Palahniuk. So far it has my attention, I hear he is a great writer.
Yes! I am a huge Tom Petty fan and I loved his role in the movie! Aww Chassit....I didn't think I could like you anymore than I already do. :wub:Quote:

Started Lisey's Story again finally.
Also picked up Slaughterhouse-Five and Timequake at the library. I'm re-reading the former and reading the latter for the first time.
I just finished Another Bullshit Night in Suck City: A Memoir by Nick Flynn
and I loved it.
From Amazon:
Quote:
Flynn's wayward father, a self-styled writer and ex-con, describes his life on Boston's streets as "another bullshit night in Suck City": he hangs out in ATM lobbies, stuffs his coat with newspaper and is often "still drunk from the night before." This biting memoir describes the years poet Flynn (Some Ether; Blind Huber) spent, in his late 20s, working at one of the city's homeless shelters, where his path crisscrossed with his down-and-out father's. In examining their troublesome relationship, Flynn admits to feeling lost, as he turned to alcohol and came close to being on the other side of the shelter admissions booth himself. Punchy language and short chapters make what could otherwise be excessively painful more palatable (e.g., "Fact: In 1839 Dostoyevsky witnessed a mob of peasants attacking his father.... they poured vodka down his throat until he died. Fact: I can watch my father pouring vodka down his own throat any day of the week. My role is to play the son, though I often feel like a mob of peasants"). Although it's depressing, the book never seems hopeless, because readers know the author has succeeded at doing what his father only pretended to do: write, and write well.
I just picked up the first book in Pullman's His Dark Materials series. I'm falling in love with the story, haven't been able to set it down.
I have the Gunslinger (re-read) going and also just about done with Lisey's Story.
My chest hurts :(
I loved Timequake - have you read The Sirens of Titan?Quote:
