Anyone else read this? It's weird; I enjoyed it because it was interesting, but I struggle with depression, plus I'm going through a divorce, so it wasn't really the best timing.
Oh blast that is bad timing! I havent read the book primarily because I have been told that it is a very depressing book. It reminds me how my friend tried to cheer me up when I broke up with my boyfriend a while ago... she took me to watch Adam. Have you seen it? So depressing and so not the right movie for me at the time
Thanks for the heads-up. It does not sound like a good read for me at all! Right now I'm reading Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice. It was included with the Kindle software I put on my computer which got me started with it but I am now reading the actual book. That Kindle stuff is just for cookbooks because I have no more room for more real ones. I've never read any Jane Austen before so I figured it was about time. I hate to admit it but I also checked out the Cliff Notes because I was having trouble keeping all the characters straight!
How are you liking Pride and Prejudice, Kelley? I've never read any of Jane Austen's books; I keep meaning to give them a try.
I put it on the back burner for a day or two. They are really funny and Jane Austen really isn't. I'll get back to her and let you know though.
Ordered 3 more Ben Elton's ... Cant get enough of this guyRead 2 and a half books of Dean Koontz ..... I dont see the greatness? Some books were really good (like, Life Expectancy) but all the other ones that I read or started reading were lacking in plot, or were really slow and boring.
It's finally starting to get interesting. It's told in the third person but from his perspective which made it kind of strange when he was five!
I'm reading The Lifeboat, by Charlotte Rogan, and I can't put it down. I love anything connected to ocean liners
Third person from the character's perspective? That's an interesting style!
Not sure what ocean liners are exactly but I am guessing its to do with the ocean... on that note, have you read Wilbur Smith's Birds of Prey? its all about adventures in the ocean (I need to add that its a door stopper too! )My boss (of all people) gave me two books to read - The Mountains of Madness by H P Lovecraft and The Atrocity Archives by Charles Stross .... I have lots of books to get through!!!! Woot!
The kids and I will soon be moving from our house to an apartment (thanks to my evil ex-husband. . . but that's a rant for a different forum), and I am hoping I can fit all my books in! I usually weed out on a regular basis those I don't want to keep, by donating them to the library or to school rummage sales, but I have literally four multi-shelf bookshelves packed with books that I am loathe to part with. (I suppose I should be grammatically correct and say "...with which I am loathe to part" .)I'm having visions of my new bedroom being just a mattress on the floor with stacks of books towering around. Come to think of it, that might not be so bad.
Keep those books Kathy. As Ernest said, "There are no friends as loyal as a book". You and your kids will continue to be in my prayers.
