Chuck Palahniuk's characters remind me of people off Jerry Springer...

Just a few quickies and if they were covered and I missed them, I apologise in advance. Do you get a new "partner" every quarter? I think that would be for the best. Do we have a timeframe for when it will kick off? And what will it be named to differentiate it from the BOTM Book Club...

Surprisingly, I own three of these books but they have received a total of only one vote between them! Having 3 books in the voting is quite amazing because despite having ~ 300 books in my collection, these days I generally borrow books from my local library! I have recently been buying...

Just finished her debut novel "Lost Souls" and saw "Exquisite Corpse" in a thrift shop recently. I like her style. Is this novel "gay themed"? "Lost Souls" was nominated for a Lambda Award for outstanding gay themed novels.

Me Talk Pretty One Day - David Sedaris

My wife is fully hooked on these books and is devouring (pun intended!) them at an alarming rate. I watched the first season only recently and really need to catch up with season 2 before season 3 airs here.

Yeah he is a cool character and Don Cheadle (one of my fav actors) did a great job playing him in "Devil In A Blue Dress". Hope you don't get hiccups too often! Although a mouse squeak is at least a cute noise!
