I really strugle to see why people think Steve Gerlach is like Laymon. He's not. They were friends but their writing styles are pretty different and they are worlds apart as authors. I'm sure some people enjoy his books but if you're expecting someone like Laymon you'll find yourself dissapointed like I did. I've read both
and
. The first was really really dissapointing and the second was okay. I'd try another and may buddy read Love lies Dying with yous but don't set yourself up for dissapointment.

I had noticed there was quite a few negative reviews but I guess we'll see.

lol. Nah. You definitely have great taste in books but some of your recent author suggestions are questionable. lol

Swan song is amazing but I think it's to soon for me to do a re-read of it due to the size.

We'll read The Great and Secret Show first - maybe next week...? And then after I'll read Swan Song with who wants to?

Kate, when is it in between semesters for you?
It seems like it would be Kate, Traci, Andrew, and moi for this one so far.

I'm in for both!
I'm ready any time too. Just mail me when the threads open and what percentage we are reading

Hey! Some of those suggestions were mine. I'm trying to read things by authors I've never read to get them off my shelf :)
Steve was recommended by Laymon himself at the beginning of the book~

You're not missing anything. I only gave it 2 stars.

I can be ready tomorrow. If that's good.

So it sounds like we begin tomorrow. I'll create the thread if no one has done so yet.
Yea! It used to be one of my favorite books that I read so many times it fell a part - but it's been at least ten years since I last read it. I wonder if I'll still like it...

I'm not sure, the tutor for the unit hasn't even told us what the last assignment is or the due by date. I'm thinking beginning of June?


That's been on my list for awhile. I'm game.

When would you like to start?

I understand. Buddy reads help get through the pile faster and with more enthusiasm :)


I probably won't add another buddy read right now. But I'd go for reading Funland when you do.

When would you like to start?"
I'll probably track it down at the libray, so Tuesday or Wednesday?

I'm loving it. we are at 50% right now and I just put it down to start on a group read, I can't wait to get back to it. when we get ready to start Funland I will post something here and let you and traci both know. it will probably be a couple weeks yet.

Anyone can join us!

Anyone wanna join me for the long haul? Perhaps we could just start a general 'buddy reads' thread for the simultaneous discussion of all five of these titles.
I'm game for this. I have Inheritance already.
