Snuff
by Chuck Palahniuk

my rating:

Amberly said: "Thank god I work at a bookstore, my own private library, and didn't spend a red cent on this 'book'. Poorly written, extraordinarily thin on plot, character development and even subtext (something Palahniuk is usually good at), it teems with gross-ou...more "

Lying: A Metaphorical Memoir (Paperback)

Amberly said: "OK. Maybe she had epilepsy, maybe she didn't. Maybe she slept with some unnamed author. Maybe not.
She's a decent writer for sure, I like the idea of the "metaphorical memoir", and this was recommended to me by a friend with epilepsy, who ...more "

The Gonzo Way: A Celebration of Dr. Hunter S. Thompson (Speaker's Corner)
by Anita Thompson

my rating:

Amberly said: "A little thin, but a good companion for any H.S.T. fan. More than anything, it shows how committed his wife Anita is to his memory and sensibility. "

"Set out runnin' but I take my time
A friend of the devil is a friend of mine
If I get home before daylight, I just might get some sleep tonight.

"Got two reasons why I cry away each lonely night,
The first ones named sweet Amberly, and she's my hearts delight.
The second one is prison, babe, the sheriffs on my trail,
And if he catches up with me, I'll spend my life in jail."
