My mom loves Sour Cream Raisin pie. I find it to be overly sweet.

Misha, If you like Black Water, you may like JC Oates' "Blonde."

You better not read it than.

This paragraph will give you a sense of the novel and if you want to read it.

"Moral templates change. In “Sacred Hunger,” the abolition of slavery isn’t even an issue, and the treatment of human beings as property is all the more disturbing for being taken for granted. Now Unsworth has written a sequel, “The Quality of Mercy,” in which that treatment is contested. The new novel picks up where “Sacred Hunger” left off. "

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

Thanks. I won't read it (the review).

[Lynda]

I am reading Claimed by Shadow by Karen Chance. It is #2 in Cassandra Palmer series. It is making me wonder if I should change my approach to my series challenge.

I read this as "Charley's Webby Joy." :D I think I'm still a little loopy from exhaustion.

[Sarah]

I'm reading Ammonite. All of my holds at the library keep coming in and disrupting my intended order, but they've been worth it so I won't complain too much.

[Sabrina]

I'm currently reading Crossed by Ally Condor, Jekel Loves Hyde by Beth Fantaskey, and The Tide Knot by Helen Dunmore.

The Liberal Tradition in America by Louis Hartz.

After Stephen King you don't need a palette (sic) cleanser; you need something strong to kill the taste.

Dissing Stephen King? Not cool, Phil. Not cool.

Look out Phil. You are inviting trouble from Angela, Amber and me. Let's tie him to a chair and read the very lengthy book, The Stand to him.

[Cynthia]

I like Stephen King, but I do not like The Stand.

I finally finished 1Q84 and wonder if I'll ever be able to read anything else ever again.

[janine]

Thanks for the warning.

That good? I'm about 2/3s of the way through and really enjoying it.

[Kevin]

has anyone read catcher in the rye? uh....yes, only every high schooler in the country that was born between 1970 and 1985

[Sarah]

I've never known anyone who read Catcher in the Rye for the first time as an adult. I'd be fascinated to hear how it comes across.

[~Geektastic~]

I read it for the first time when I was a junior in college, but I don't think that quite counts as "adulthood" yet.

[Cynthia]

I enjoyed Catcher In the Rye as a 15-year-old. As an adult, I liked Franny and Zooey much more.

[Kevin]

i was sort of being a bit exaggerative

I like The Stand, but I do not like Stephen King.

[Carol]

I like Stephen King and read Catcher in the Rye as an adult. Frigging whining disaffected youth.

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

I read it as a teenager and tried to read it again a couple years ago. I couldn't....it was so teenagery it was almost unbearable. That's just me, though. I'd be interested in what someone reading it for the first time as an adult thought of it.

As a teenager I found it okay. Nothing to get overexcited about. I felt the same way about The Bell Jar.

[Sally, la reina]

Is it possible to be overexaggerative?


I liked the Bell Jar but don't remember reading Catcher in the Rye.

[Allison]

I'm currently reading The Secret Life Of CeeCee Wilkes

Misha: The cat/author pics are great.

[janine]

I love author/cat pics.

[janine]

I don't approve of the way Jean Cocteau holds his kitty.

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

Hmm. The question is, what noise is the cat making? I saw the most hilarious video where a news reporter was reporting from an animal shelter, holding a cat. This poor woman clearly had no familiarity with cats, because the noise the cat was making translated to: "Put me the fuck down. Now. Do not make me repeat myself." I watched with bated breath until the moment that the cat twisted around quick as lightning and scratched the woman across the face.

[janine]

Maybe this kitty doesn't know any better.

[Sally, la reina]

All kitties know better.

[Sabrina]

I just finished Jekel Loves Hyde. Very nice. now I'm reading Paranormalcy.

[Janice]

I started the audiobook The Secret Scripture this morning. Tonight, I'll be cracking open the pages of Out of Africa.

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

With a nutcracker?

[Janice]

With a hammer and chisel.

[janine]

I'm reading some stories by Turgenev. More like novellas though.

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

I believe I'm going to start Buddenbrooks: The Decline of a Family and Burmese Days.

[~Geektastic~]

Reading Middlesex. I hate putting it down! I want to go home and read.

[Sarah]

I loved Middlesex.
