Litany's Genre Swap Hi Brk-3: Am I supposed to ask you about the books you normally read and then suggest ones which aren't in your normal reads? momac :confused:

Dark poem Maybe an extremely liberal use of blank verse? You'd have to ask the originator I guess. momac :innocent:

Dark poem Ya think? momac :innocent:

Getting to know Hi Alix - I'm a retired legal secretary, married, 3 children, 4 grandchildren who live with their parents in the Arctic. Their dad is a schoolteacher, mom is a child welfare social worker - they live in the hamlet of Aklavik which is on the MacKenzie delta in the Northwest...

Hello Jaybe: Glad someone else has had a gander at this book - it is kind of unforgettable, don't think I've read anything like it with the writing style and the plot. Kinda glad though that I don't live in the Ozarks - I'm sure the poverty must be appalling if it's anything like that...

Don't know if this is the place to post it but I've just finished a book that I still don't know whether or not I liked it but it was made into a movie so I guess it caught some attention. The book - "Winter's Bone" by Daniel Woodrell, is a really unusual book, the narrative style almost has a...

Bin Laden etc. Hello Zolipara: I think I would want to know if danger existed - probably many of us worry about things that may never happen - however it's good to know that your government is vigilant. Whether or not this actually protects you from the danger at least someone is trying to...

Osama Bin Laden etc. It's scary to think that there are folks out there who aren't clued in to what's happening - don't know enough to even be scared about terrorism although maybe ignorance is bliss. momac:sad:

Bin Laden etc.... An astute observation LaGs. momac :sad:

I used to enjoy reading horror stories but somehow they don't appeal now. I remember when I was still in school and at home one evening by myself and had just finished reading Frankenstein that I was suddenly aware of small noises and the house creaking etc. I really freaked myself out and had...

Masters of Horror Certainly enough to give me nightmares - momac

Re: Zombies: Checked the Wikipedia and saw the gruesome sights. It's amazing what people will do to keep themselves amused. Do you suppose they vote? momac

Zombie Thanks for the update Sparkchaser: Is 'zombie' the slang term for some kind of person out of the mainstream or are you still talking about the 'living dead' of the voodoo religion. I thought that vampires were big with the younger generation, hadn't noticed the term zombie - maybe an...

Zolipara! Didn't even get the originator's name right but I think I've got it now. momac blink:

Hello Sparkchaser: So, I've read the first post about the zombie apocalypse - how did the subject of zombie's arise or is this just a pet subject of Zolipatra? I think maybe the generation gap is ever widening or maybe I just don't know how to speak Bookandreaderese. I think I'll just forget...

Sure wish I knew what you folks were talking about - it's intriguing - almost like I've wandered into another dimension. momac

Transfer of Power Tks Brk3 for the info - then I've probably read it - I have tried to read the books in sequence but that doesn't always happen when I'm getting them from the library. Anyway, when you go back to read them once you know what happens in later books it kind of spoils it. I...

His demise sounds like it came right out of a Brad Thor book. It does sound callous to be rejoicing about someone being gunned down even though he seemed like a really evil man. I just hope that his violent end doesn't occasion equally violent retribution. momac

Hello Brk3 - is Transfer of Power the latest of Vince Flynn's books? momac

Hello again: Just a correction of the book title - should be "Fever of the Bone" - it's part of a quotation of T.S. Eliot "No contact possible to flesh allayed the fever of the bone" momac
