Nophoto-m-50x66 Andrew read and liked Dale's review of Bag of Bones:

"I am a Stephen King junkie. I started reading him in high school and quickly tore through just about everything he'd ever written, and then started buying every new book he put out. Being a Stephen King fan is kind of like being a geek for Dragonla...more "

86464 One six pack of Schlitz, a distributor cap for a '71 Torino, and six boxes of mac and cheese! Good deal.

86464 First of all, A Room of One's Own isn't a book I live and die by. I just happened to like it. Zen and the Art... is a book about a self absorbed peckerwood riding his bike across the country and neglecting his son, while he waxes poetic about how brilliant he is. Until of course he loses his fucking mind. What a wanker. And I never even read The Giver! You filthy son of a bitch. I just started another one by Bukowski. It's fucking great. He writes like people talk. Real natural. He's one of my favorites. Next up is My Side of the Mountain.

86464 Hey guy. I just wanted to be the first to comment on your page. I saw that you want to read "Motherless Brooklyn." You should. It's great. I liked his book "Fortress of Solitude" even more. And there's one, "She Climbed Across the Table," that book is fucking perfect. But watch out for "You Don't Love Me Yet," I wasn't too into that one. There you go, that's my Johnathan Lethem primer. Dig it.
