...and NO, I haven't read it.
I've been pondering the phenomenon that IS this book. I watched the video of Ellen Degenerous reading from it and thought it was hilarious! From her reading alone I MIGHT be temped. (Might.) Although I doubt my reaction would be as comical. A friend of mine has it and said, "You have to read this!" I replied, "SERIOUSLY?!?" I do not really see myself doing that. How... read more »

This is a very emotional book that demands that you accept two premises. First, that love can take root in a guy at first sight of his beloved, in the middle of what was meant to be a random hook-up, and be immediately strong enough to... " Read more of this review » |

“What do you feel?” Curiosity hung in the air.
Matt was thankful Darian didn’t walk out except now he had to explain himself. “I feel jittery.”
“Oh, then it’s gotta be love.” Darian shook his head and turned away.
Matt knew sarcasm when he heard it. He grabbed Darian’s elbow and pulled him into his arms. Darian’s hands were smashed to his chest and his face was very close to Matt’s. “I’m not letting you walk out.” He asserted. “You make me feel sick.”
“Oh, that’s so much better.”

“It's not about who you sleep with, or whether you know about sports or tools or have a pearl-wearing wife or whether commercials make you cry. [...] it's about whether you step up. When something hard comes along. A man steps up. He doesn't dodge it or run away from it or try to push it onto someone else. He steps up. Even if it isn't his responsibility. And that's why there are so many guys and so few men. Because stepping up is hard.”

I look forward to seeing what you and Matt like LOL"Well, it's not all Matt. TCOL is from Matt's POV but there are songs that represent Darian and Jamie too. The book comes after Jamie's suicide so there is obviously loads they need to work through. The songs coincide the actions of the characters. And for me, when I hear a certain song, I picture that scene!
All I Want - Matt is driving in his truck!
I also have on the playlist:
Lie to Me - Shane Mack (Shelter soundtrack)
The Way I Am - Staind
Kissing You Goodbye - The Used
Hello - Evanescence
Nobody Knows - P!nk
Tangled Up In You - Staind
Your Call - Secondhand Serenade - Darian, curled up in the dark on his bed.
I have 36 songs all together as I "perfected" it while making coffee.
Off for more editing today! (on TCOL, not the playlist)
Hey Wade, I hope you can List the songs. I've found some great music I would never of heard of through friends telling me of their likes. I look forward to seeing what you and Matt like LOL
I will probably list more. It just makes me self conscious. Like people could judge me for the music I listen to or something? I was reading Conquest while writing TCOL so I think "music" in general had some influence because of that. I have always listened to music while writing. I get inspired by music or pumped up because of it. In this case, certain songs came to mind when I was writing because I thought it was how the characters where feeling. Matt is a "music" person. He runs a lot. (hence-iPod!) So if Matt listens to music when he runs, what does he like? I had to think about that!
Wade wrote: "Well, I decided Matt is a big Stained fan. : p (author privilege) so doing number one is All I Want."I had to find it on YouTube. I like this song. :-) I love when singer's voice is little raspy ;)

What said I do yesterday, you ask? Um, I made a playlist on my iPod of 39 songs. The"soundtrack" to TCOL. I already had one titled M&D (you'll understand when you read TCOL but this goes almost chapter by chapter.
Hi Wade, thanks for the friendvite, it's very nice of you and happy late birthday! you share it with my sister:)
editing ... editing... and I see how many times I use short sentences to avoid a miss-use of commas. I need to get over my fear of complex sentences!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY for tomorrow Wade. Hope its a good one. 
I just purchased The Locker Room. Now, of the top books I want to read soon, I own The Locker Room, BOATK, and American Love Songs. So many to read so little time!
