    I reading a book by Andrew Taylor...its not super exciting but its allright. I also downloaded the audio book for The Lost Symbol. I was too excited to wait, so I listen to it a bit in the morning when Im getting ready for school. It will take a while, but its good so far.

    I would love to hear an interview with the author of the bookseller book, it was extremely interesting how she could distance herself while telling the story (though if you really looked for it her thoughts were in there) It is an interesting story, definitely not you typical Afghan family. What I found the most interesting is their views on Americans, and the different stages the bookstore had to go though, depending on who is in control of the country depends on what is outlawed at the shop.

    Hey Chuck,
    I Hope you enjoy Lost Symbol. It was my favorite of the three DaVince, & Angles. I noticed you seem to like some political books as well. I'm reading True Compass by the late Ted Kennedy. It's really interesting, he is a great story teller, plus it's so wild to read about these famous people and what they did at the breakfast table. Just thought I would mention it.

    I heard so much about the story and I was trying to go off memory if it was part of the 1001 Books You Must Read Before You Die. I was disappointed that it wasn't but will still read it. It may be a few years before I get to it, but it will not be ignored in my TBR. Thanks for your recommendation.

    Thanks Chuck, but I have allready read all three. If you think the first one is good wait for the next two. Each one is better than the last! I read all three in a row, how addicting.

    I saw you posted on one of our groups that you read Daniel X, did you see this as a book for the younger crowd since it is being billed as Junior Fiction, I've enjoyed the books by Michael Ledwidge. Just thought I would see what you thought, I've read most books put out by Patterson. Thanks

    2012 is getting such amazing publicity, not to mention world class fanatics. I truly wonder what said fans are going to do when the appointed day comes around.

    I'm extremely glad to hear you say that the film followed the book. I become so sad when films take a different track from the books, but at the same time I understand there are a few good reasons why that might be done. 'Blood Meridian' could become a movie. I have seen that lately a good deal of the films being released are based on books more often than not.

    And thanks for the appreciation for the avi, lol. I love Garfield.

    Awww how come? Though the film is going to be very intense.

    'Blood Meridian,' no? And actually, that -is- the book that made him a fan. He's spoken very good things about it, so I'm curious of it as well.

    Did you read 'No Country For Old Men'? I did not see the film for that one, but the previews looked very good.

    Chuck, I will! Is "from time to time" a continuation or a different story altogether?
    I am liking it so far. I am in first 80 pages and I am quite curious as to what is to come!

    Thank you! I'll be reading it soon. My boyfriend showed me the movie trailer today (I saw it for the first time), and I was very impressed. After he mentioned that he's a fan of McCarthy's writing, I had yet another incentive to read the book.

    Are you planning on watching the film, Chuck?
