One of my all-time favorite writers and books. I have read it a few times but I haven't re-read it in years. I was thinking about cracking it open again. I love it so much.

I would definitely love to read the Thompson. I have never, ever heard of Tursten. I love it when that happens. I will look into her stuff. Thank you. This is why I love asking the internet. :)

Oh, I love Bryson. I haven't read him in years and I haven't heard of that one. It sounds amazing. Thanks!

I liked it a lot actually. Mostly because her writing is amazing and she really makes the reader walk in the worlds she creates.

I have only read one book by Pratchett. Maybe I will look for this. Thanks!

I'm more than happy to be spewed on like that. I saw your other post. I'm sure I have suggestions because that stuff is right up my alley. When I am less distracted I will give it some thought.

Oh! Thanks for all this!

Also, I like your screen name. I didn't catch it at first. :)

I'm a book slut, any genre will do generally. I don't know Romance really.

I like Eugenides. I know people have valid issues with him but I am always deeply drawn in when I read his books. I read The Marriage Plot a few months ago and loved it.

What do you think of Don't Lets Go to the Dogs Tonight? I had reservations about reading it when it came out and I'd forgotten about it.

Lol. Duly noted.

Hellllloooooooo! Books? What are you reading? Anybody have some recommendations??

I miss it too. Some of the best writing ever on television. Such a travesty it got cancelled.

Rad, right??

Though I find this compelling, I want to take a moment to focus on the other part of this sentence… the part when Holmes frames Katniss' relationship to Peeta and Gale as a "conflict between" and a "choice." I think that, in some ways, the requirement to choose one or the other forces Katniss' to, not only "choose" a…

I've always liked that name for any gender. Both my kids names end with that sound but my son's is only in nickname form.
