I have finished Men Without Women and found it disturbing and unsatisfying, but in a good way. fascinating ending, really, and, although not quite unexpected, definitely not "normal."
now I'm reading Mansfield Park. yes, I have a weakness for Jane Austen. I am a girl. I expect a "normal" ending from this one, but I like it, anyway. ~ We're just babies making up a game, if you're right.

scarlett thomas is great.
mr.y could be compared to the likes of "the ring", or banana yoshimoto's "NP", but those don't really sum it up at all. |

A Kiss Before The Apocolypse by Thomas Sniegoski
So far it's pretty standard, not rivetting me to my seat. But good enough I'm not gonna give up on it. |

finished Mansfield Park. although I didn't need to read the last two or three chapters to know how it'd end. but anyway.
I don't know what to read next! help! ~ We're just babies making up a game, if you're right. But...babies playing a game can make a play-world which licks your real world hollow.

I'm finishing "Indiana Jones and the Seven Veils". Next, I'm starting "King of the Khyber Rifles" by Talbot Mundy.

there was the film of the ring. though, i would suggest it wasn;t one of those :P
PopCo is worth getting as well. some of her older stuff is harder to find though. |

awesome, i'll try and track some down (i have a bit of a history of putting out of print/hard to find books on my birthday list - mum seems to enjoy tracking them down for me!) currently reading: across the nightingale floor I also recently read Ian McEwan's "On Chesil Beach" having heard very, very bad reports about it from family and friends. I thought it was wonderful - beautifully written and incredibly sad. anyone else read it? ____________________________________________________ Did you know?

amazon marketplace is always helpful starting place for that kind of stuff. i guess i'd suggest, in order: PopCo Going Out Bright Young Things. the first three were a trilogy, so probably helps to read in order: Dead Clever In Your Face Seaside i got the nightingale floor out the library, but just couldn't get into it. |

read Giovanni's Room by James Baldwin last night. really good and sad. I needed to sleep, but I couldn't put it down!
and I started News from Paraguay by Lily Tuck after that. (a friend at work donates to my library when he starts cleaning his out. )~ We're just babies making up a game, if you're right.

Oh, I read Nightengale Floor a while ago and really liked it - but when I read the other books in the series, I didn't like them nearly as much. They're very similar in tone, so it's pretty surprising. |

Great wyrm of Toronto Member  |
It was an interesting series. I only the first two. One in 2005 and then I lost the second book for a year or so and only read in in 2007. Both in the summer time. Marking two different points entirely. The series was interesting. ______________________________ Do not leave me with a bowl of anything for an extended period of time. |

I liked it a lot and thought it was quite moving. I also thought it was utterly silly that they nominated it for the "Bad Sex Award". It's supposed to be bad sex! That's the entire point! |
