Elaine wrote: "James Joyce by Richard Ellman. Finest biography I have ever read - you feel you are right there living Joyce's roller coaster life along wtih him."

I had always read that Joyce was quite self-centered-curious if bio confirmed this?

Scarecrow Returns

Reading this book by Matthew Reilly- and to be honest...not really liking it...I love thrillers- but this is all action..no plot ..no character development..I did not know if this was like all of Reilly's other books as this is my first..and while many love his style- there was a review which perfectly summed up my feelings about the book "Like the novelization of a video game"

Donna wrote: "I've gotten some really great downloads. Thanks, everyone!"

good point- one thing I love about almost all books I read, thriller, mystery, historical..ect..is that I learn quite a bit as well as being entertained- yet there is a fine line between seaming facinating facts into a novel and overdoing it and reading more like a textbook.
