I'd love to be the meat in this sandwich!
VintagePunk said:I haven't read much fiction for several years now, mostly because of school. But the one book I've read recently that blew me away was Love in The Time of Cholera by Gabriel Garcia Marquez. Wow. So thought-provoking and beautiful.
Sad_Girl said:
Yeah; I think we have I know I talk about both of them a lot, at least.
And actually there is one Horror writer I actually admire as much and whose work I enjoy even more than King or Rice and that's Dean Koontz
VintagePunk said:
I've never read Koontz. He's one of those authors I've always meant to look up, though.
Molly Bloom said:
have you read the sil? or the hobbit?
there are also 12 histories of middle earth to dig through...
so many things to read
Sad_Girl said:I couldn't survive without literature. For most people it's Sleep, eat and breathe....
for me it's sleep, eat, breathe and read
Russty Cat said:
I read the hobbit many years ago. I never got around to Sil, but I think we might have a copy here or up at our place in Oregon. I'm a book whore. I have way to many. I love to read. And I'm sure I'll come home with a bunch more after my trip next week. My mother is the original book whore who loves supplying me with good ones.
I'd love to see pictures of your tats sometime. I am a huge perve for tattoos. I them. I have 6 of my own. I have 2 U2 related, a celtic cross, a St. Bridgets cross, and an anatomically correct heart with wings and needle and thread through it on my chest. Its sort of a bastarized version of a sacred heart.

The question is - is that TO4 with Eddie joining U2, or the PJ show two days later with Bono joining Eddie?
Molly Bloom said:
he is amazing
simply gorgeous...
VintagePunk said:
That book was so moving. It stayed with me long after I read it.
Have you read One Hundred Years of Solitude?
~BrightestStar~ said:
Never!
Molly Bloom said:
yes... it just made me sob ... but in a positive way...
i also really adore margret atwood and neil gaiman too
VintagePunk said:
I really like Atwood's work, as well. I had The Handmaid's Tale here a few weeks ago, but didn't get a chance to start it, and then I think Sarah had to return it to the school library. I should see if I can get it again. Atwood herself bugs the hell out of me though. I've read some of her literary critiques, and have her Negotiating With the Dead: A Writer on Writing, and I find her personally pretentious.
I've never read Gaiman.

Eh, how needs sleep, anyway?
Molly Bloom said:so, do you know the luthien legend or is that pic of my just silly to you ?

Drea said:
Luthien and Beren, right? From the Sil?
The Handmaid's Tale I started reading it in high school when it came out in the hardcover version when it arrived in the library - didn't get to finish it till a while later when I ended up with the paperback version *g* I still have it, though it's in rough shape
Sad_Girl said:
Atwood is incredible!!! Oryx and Crake the Handmaids Tale :up : two of the best books I've ever read
:lol : I stay away from anything but her fiction, too though
You don't have to like the writer to like the writing : wink:
