Donna, it is understandible, when push comes to shove, I would place Henry Rollins first, simply because his liberal beleifs and soapbox is something that I can get behind. Whereas Kevin Smith is so rude, and gross that I have to be in the right mind set (or really stoned) to truly appriciate... But Kevin Smith has been known to say that he makes his money on "Dick and Fart Jokes" whereas Rollins makes his money "on making you think about your complacency", which makes is work a little heavy at times, but worth the read.

The one thing that makes me crazy is that Rollins is comfortable with his co-depencency with the people who "follow him" - I went to a spken word concert (my first) a couple of weekends ago and wanted to throttle him for constantly saying: "as an artist, I NEED YOU! I NEED your money, I NEED YOU" I wanted to stand up and yell: "Yeah?! So, I need a Massage and someone to cook ME dinner? wanna help ME out?" but in hind sight I get what he is saying all artists NEED the people who love their work and pay for it, we just don't always like to hear that fact.

Anna, how did you like Mistress of the Art of Death? I loved it and the other books so far in the series. The last one, A Murderous Procession, was a bit of a cliffhanger, and I can't wait until the next one.

[Kathy]

I'm going to finish up Charlaine Harris' (Sookie Stackhouse/True Blood fame) Lily Bard series by this weekend, or the first of next week. Then, I will be able to start Wedlock: The True Story of the Disastrous Marriage and Remarkable Divorce of Mary Eleanor Bowes, Countess of Strathmore, the book I nominated as one of our June reads.

[Karla]

I'm reading The Sugar Queen really a great day in the sun read.

[Donna, The Pusher]

Just finished The Titan's Curse and now I am finally going to start Honolulu

[Kathy]

Well, I can't seem to stick to my scheduled reading. Of course, that's not anything new. I just finished Hotel on the Corner of Bitter and Sweet and loved it! I'm a little over halfway through Still Alice and am spellbound by it. The past couple of days I have bought Moloka'i and Honolulu by Brennert, the reads from last month, because they have really peaked my interest. I seem to be going backwards. Yikes!

[Donna, The Pusher]

I just got Hotel on the Corner of Bitter and Sweet from GR swap.

[Karla]

I enjoyed HOTCOBAS very much also learned something I didn't know much about in American history. In school they only had one paragraph in a text book about it.

[Donna, The Pusher]

I saw that you both gave it 5 stars! Now I gotta get to it quick. I have at least 4 ahead of it though but they are fairly short

[Karla]

I think I read it in a day and half. Just break times and after work was a quick read. Enjoy Donna!

[Donna, The Pusher]

Will do!

Read it now, Donna! It's a great little book!

[Kathy]

I just finished Still Alice--so powerful! I cried.

[Irene]

Finished The Nearest Exit (needed a bit of brain candy), and now I am reading Good to a Fault by Marina Endicott, which kept me up until midnight.

[Karla]

Jo my husband has been trying to get me to read The Gunslinger for a while now. He raves over the whole series and rereads it as soon as he is done. I'm very interested in what you think of it. Need a females perspective on it.

Read it now, Donna! It's a great little book!"

I will soon enough!

[Karla]

Thanks Jo, I like fantasy very much. Anything to cope with the mundane daily grind, if you know what I mean?

[Fiona (Titch)]

Finally finished Worst Case - James Patterson. Now I am gonna read Dark Blood - Stuart MacBride.

[Donna, The Pusher]

I started Lily's Crossing and I am sure it will be a quick one then I guess I will start Poison Study.

[Kathy]

Kathy,
I started this one last night, and found it such a good read that I had trouble putting it down!

[Irene]

Took a break from Good to a Fault, to start Days of Grace by Catherine Hall, and now am totally engrossed in both.

[Donna, The Pusher]

I love books that pull you in! Let us know what you think in the end...

It's easy to become totally immersed in this book. I even had after shocks of it, fearing I was symptomatic of early-onset Alzheimers. I'm feeling better now, almost a week later.

Kathy, I would like to read this book, but I fear I may feel the same way because my mother did have Alzheimer's.

[Donna, The Pusher]

I am now reading Poison Study

[Irene]

Donna, sounds fascinating!!

[Donna, The Pusher]

It seems OK so far but I am only a few pages in. I t is also a mass market paperback in which I have not read one in such a long time. But I know they read through pretty quick.

[Lyn (Readinghearts)]

I am currently reading my first book by Canadian author Lori Lansens. It is called Rush Home Road: A Novel and was recommended to me by a friend.

[Donna, The Pusher]

And...?? What are your thoughts thus far, Lyn?

[Lyn (Readinghearts)]

So far I really like the way she writes. I think it is going to be a good one.

[Kathy]

Last night I started Every Last One by Anna Quindlen.

[Fiona (Titch)]

I have finished Ford County Stories - John Grisham. I have since read and finished Ghost Stories - Dennis Hamley, Gillian Philip, Anne Rooney & Alex Stewart, The Scream - Penny Bates, Hauntings - Mary Chapman. I am now reading To Be A Millionaire - Yvonne Coppard.

[Fiona (Titch)]

Now I've finished To Be A Millionaire - Yvonne Coppard. Now I am gonna read Escape from Shangri-la - Michael Morpurgo.

[Donna, The Pusher]

Jeez!! You move quick!!

[Fiona (Titch)]

I've read 4 YA books today and finished a book I started on Monday lol.

[Donna, The Pusher]

WOW!!! Very impressive.

[Fiona (Titch)]

I'm havin the TV and cable as well as DVD player taken out of bedroom, so I can TRY! and get through the 6 book cases I have full of books lol.

[Donna, The Pusher]

YA's can go pretty quick but I think I have only read one in a day maybe even some adult books but I have never read more than one book in a day!

[Fiona (Titch)]

I've had a nearly 4hr bath and was reading the 1st 4 I finished before lunch lol.

[Donna, The Pusher]

Good for you!!!!!

[Fiona (Titch)]

Donna, if you notice. I don't post often as reading isn't being done often. Cos of kids lol. But from now onwards til my holiday in 7 weeks from today, I'm gonna try and read as much as I can lol x

[Donna, The Pusher]

That is true. You've caught up nicely. I mostly only get to read when I am on the trian and or bus It is very hard for me to read when I am home because my kids are too young.

Mine leave for school @ 8.10am and don't arrive home til 4pmish.

[Donna, The Pusher]

That's nice. I work full time too so I am limited. I try to do some reading when the nap on the weekends but I wind up doing chores instead LOL

[Lyn (Readinghearts)]

Hey - I have two grown kids who don't live at home anymore, and I am retired, and I still cannot finish 4 books in one day, even YAs. Good job Fiona!

[Donna, The Pusher]

LOL. Good point!
