Nice patina!

I'm about half way through NOS4A2. Hill definitely has an edge to his storytelling and his portrayal of Manx and Bing does not fall into that trap many writers do with ' serial killers' in that the...

We hubby's do get it right on occasion, but not nearly often enough. :)

You have a mailbox?! That's so cool. We have to go to the post office.
Maybe you should get a rocking chair and save on lumber.

Dan Simmons wrote several novels that incorporated the vampire mythos in some fashion, each with very good results. ' Let The Right One In ' (as Mr Dragon stated earlier) is a good book and the...

This thread was prompted by an item on NPR. It concerned hurricane Sandy and the damage it wrought, and I was struck by how the majority of stories focus on the financial ramifications and its...

I had the same issue with The Talisman, but then I stumbled across an audio-book version and it was just what I needed.

Wasn't it Julia Child who said something like. ' Everything in moderation. Even moderation.'

The prologue alone is worth the price of admission.

Check out starlightbooks.ca. They have a large selection of King HC's, all in good condition.

I'm two-thirds through " Advent " by James Treadwell. It's fantasy is more mythic in flavour as opposed to the usual fare and it has some creepy moments as well. It's the first of a trilogy.
And I'm...

I would highly recommend Mark Helprin. Pure storytelling combined with gorgeous prose.

Talk about procrastinating!
I'm at work trying to avoid working. My brain feels mushy today and I need to focus, and coffee is not working.
Well at least the stuff I have to order is white, so I...

My wife could host a show like that. I'm hapless when it comes to DIY and she is always there to rescue me when I screw up. Hell sometimes I even mix up those 3 letters. I could host a show called...

Mountolive, by Lawrence Durrell. It's the third of the Alexandria Quartet, and it becomes more brilliant by the book!
Also. Warbreaker, by Brandon Sanderson. If you haven't read him yet and are a...

This song stirs something in me, especially this version. I hope the link works. :)

It's like early summer here around Toronto.
All the snow is gone from the backyard, now if we could just get the dog to pick up after himself.....

I hope everyone's week is full of smiles.

I'm reading Jane and Prudence, by Barbara Pym. It's a slice of middle class life in 1950's England. Nothing really happens, except maybe 'life', but it is so well written, that one doesn't notice....

This is my second of the series, and I've picked up a few more from various second-hand bookstores.
Very enjoyable!

Dressed for Death by Donna Leon
and
The Way of Kings by Brandon Sanderson

Discombobulated- I like this word because I am frequently in that condition.:wow:

I couldn't actually hold it in my hands, but I did purchase and read Mile 81. What a hoot!!

Oprah!!!! OMG.

Next thing she'll want is to put a sticker on one of Uncle Stevie's books.

Can anybody tell me the todays date??

I read Boys Life when it came out. It was great. Around the same time I read Summer of Night by Dan Simmons, which could be a twin.
