I just bought and read immediately: Under The Dome - Stephen King, Last Night in Twisted River: A Novel - John Irving, The Year of the Flood - Magaret Atwood, The Man Who Loved Books Too Much - Allison Bartlett, The Pilo Family Circus - Will Elliott It has been a good month...

I am with Jamie in the Pilo Family Circus. He turns into a very mean clown when he puts on the white face paint...

Nightwatch was the first book of hers that I have read. I really enjoyed it. I thought she gave a vivid picture of London during the war. I did not know she had written other books with "gay" characters so was pleasantly surprised when I discovered them in her book. This book was memorable and...

The Raven A Fool's Prayer The House by the Side of the Road Many poems from 101 Famous Poems...

I just tried to read Pygmy by Chuck Palahniuk. I have really liked most of his other books (although Fight Club did not thrill me...) but this one was a huge disappointment! The language tricks he plays through every single sentence were ok for the first page or so but get really old after that...

I spend much of my time developing my online lingerie shop with a twist. I look for new products to include and ways to get the word out about it. I just joined the forums at bondage.com for example as I have added a new fetish section to the shop - and I post auctions on fetishauction.com. I...

I am in New York in the theatre where Marilyn is performing in Arthur Miller's play. They have just started seeing each other. Blonde by Joyce Carol Oates

I live on a very busy street and am always irritated by cars that go by with music blaring so loud I can feel it in my floors! Also folks who walk by my house at 3 am having conversations as loud as if it were noon. What are they thinking? Then there are folks who sprinkle their conversation...

There came Death hurtling along the Boulevard in waning sepia light. There came Death flying as in a children's cartoon on a heavy unadorned messenger's bicycle. Blonde by Joyce Carol Oates

I just bought Pygmy and am part way through it but the writing is getting on my nerves so I think I will put it aside for a while and start Blonde by Joyce Carol Oates. I just finished her Black Girls White Girls and also have on my to be read list her books: Rape, a Love Story and Missing...

Thanks, Sweetie... I took Ibuprofen - if that doesn't work, I will call out the big guns - which for me these days is codine. I have been through the gamet of pain products from pot to fentanyl patches to liquid morphine. Thank goodness I am past all that (smile). I do wear these cool patches...

I am irritated because I have had cancer 3 times and every time I get a headache (which I have had for about two weeks now) I think it is brain cancer. Enough :banghead6mx: - get over it already!

The pot about midnight sounds great to me... You just about can't make it too strong for me - at least I've never found any that was too strong. It IS possible for me to get too much caffine, however. Just a few times - but I have definately had the jitters. I admit, with a bit of embarressment...

I enjoyed the first Odd Thomas but it seemed a real departure for Koontz. It really had none of the starkness (darkness) that I usually enjoy so much in his books. (Though I guess the mall scene is pretty stark, now that I think about it...). Ray Garton is good. I have read several books of his...

I think Heart Shaped Box received mixed reviews if I recall correctly. Personally, I loved it. It seemed a bit more like Dean Koontz or Jack Ketchum to me than King - not that I would expect him to write like his Dad. He also wrote a collection of stories called 20th Century Ghosts. I think He...

I am going to start off by apologizing for the length of this... it is no longer accessible on Ebay that I know of. I copied this to a file when it was running. Book lovers/collectors may enjoy this. It was for a charity drive. The book sold - don't know for how much but I thought this was...

NYG, I had never heard of Karin Slaughter so I went to her site. Your mentioning her twisted mind got my attention. I will have to check her out. The link to her site (since you were unable to post it) is: :: Karin Slaughter :: Sounds very interesting.

Italian Deli take out. There is one close to home that has fabulous salads, veggies, foccacia, baked chicken, olives, tortes... Yummy :D

I wanted to like this novel... I really did. I knew it would be huge so I bought 6 signed copies from Amazon when it first came out and did very well selling them after the book hit but as for reading the book. I tried several times. I just felt like the author was so enamoured with his own...

Hot, Sweet and creamy I love really strong coffee. The finer the grind (right up to espresso grind) and the darker the roast... the better... then fill the filter til it is almost completely full. Then I dump in 3 equals and a ton of coffeemate (I much prefere over milk or cream) - all served...
