630905 I want to apologize for the all the recommendations from me yesterday. I wanted to share the Stoker Award news, and I only pressed the send button once--I'm not sure what happened to create so many messages. Some weird glitch.

Argh...this is terrible...

Again, I'm very sorry.

630905 Here’s wishing you a nifty New Year filled with noiseless noses, neato nicknames, noble Nebraskans, gnarly narcoleptic nebulas, and novel novels about nut-eating narwhals and novercaphobic gnats.

-Jeremy :)

P.S.—I’m currently offering autographed/personally-inscribed copies of my novel, Vacation, with free shipping for those in the US. If there’s anything you could do to help me spread the word about this, I’d really appreciate it. Feel free to click here for details:

630905 Thanks for sharing, Pinkdoom! That's quite an awesome list there. I've never read Turning Angel, but I'm definitely going to check it out. Some of my favorites are 1984, Slaughterhouse-Five, A Clockwork Orange, and The God of Small Things.

Here’s wishing you a yippee-filled Yuletime overflowing with yard-long yams, yapping yoyo-yanking yetis, yak-milk yeast-cakes, and yellow yarn-yielding year-end yard-gnomes.

-Jeremy :)

Nophoto-f-50x66 Favorite book of all time? Yeah, that's not hard ;) Instead of answering that directly, I'll give you a roundabout answer instead. I think the one book that sticks out in my memory as being one that I could read over and over again is Greg Iles' Turning Angel. As far as modern fiction goes, it's one of the best I've read in a long, long time. If you're talking what's referred to as "classic literature", I really enjoy Robert Louis Stevenson's The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, Oscar Wilde's The Portrait of Dorian Gray, and several short stories by Edgar Allen Poe.

And now that I've rambled on and on...what about your favorites?

630905 Hi Pinkdoom!

If you don't mind sharing--I was wondering, what's your favorite book of all time?

Here’s wishing you a weekend filled with wacky whims, wonderful weirdness, and well-disposed werecats.

-Jeremy :)
