Just scrolled down, what a hoot. Some one mentioned Gore Vidal, "Duluth" is pretty good. "Norweigan Wood," yeah, Murakami-san, Wind-Up Bird
is better. When Mailer died a couple of years ago, few newspapers bothered to mention it, certainly no tv. "The Executioner's Song," truly
amazing. So no Patricia Highsmith fans out there? Or my main man, Juan Goytisolo, alive and well in Marrakesh, "Makbara." (Flann O'Brien offered
a book-mangling service: for a nominal fee he would break the binding, turn down pages, smudge the ink, scribble in the margins--make it look like you really
read those books. Or even dedications: "From your sincere admirer, K. Marx")

Has anyone read John Hart's "The Last Child"? I was thinking of picking it up the other day, but I haven't heard too much about it, even
though it's a bestseller.
I'm reading Preston & Child's "The Relic" right now, but only because I want to get all the Pendergast/D'Agosto books done before reading "Cemetary Dance". For some reason, though, it feels like I've read this book before and just don't remember it. I'm also gonna try to read "Kavelier and Clay", but only because people think it's such an amazing book, even though I think Chabon is a POS writer. |

First of all, E Moch! Is that Hungry in your avi??
I'm now onto "Gods and Generals", the third in my Civil War trilogy. Jeff Sharaa is the author. His dad wrote the first one, and he wrote the next two. They've been interesting, and I've learned a lot about a part of history I did not know about. Next on the list is "The Book of Negroes" by Lawrence Hill. Anyone read it? I scanned back about 4 pages or so and didn't see any mention of it, then got too lazy to look further. |

I plan on finishing The Known World today. I am unable to fathom how this won the Pulitzer Prize.
Next up, The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society. |

I highly recommend The Virgin of Small Plains by Nancy Pickard. I read it a few weeks back It's a murder mystery
that's actually a nicely drawn character study of small Midwestern communities.

this thread was hard to find. not good.
currently rereading John Lydon's semi-autobiography NO BLACKS, NO IRISH, NO DOGS. I say semi because other people like Chrissy Hynde and his pops wrote chapters. I think he's amazing but I'd never want to know him personally. The Sex Pistols sucked but they were the necessary catalyst to get things going. |
