The Artist FKA Hoopidy Fly Pimp Mac Daddy Re-Kleiner O-19er Coming In For A Landing Boy He's A Hella Fresh Taco Bell Connoisseur

"I LIKED THE MOVIE, SHOULD I READ THE BOOK?" What is wrong with you people?

By way of background, I am a mad man making moutains out of mobile mole hills. I enjoy alliterating, asking about almost anything, and amiable afternoons. Sometimes, I surmise that starting sentences with sometimes suggests surreptitious salacity for sacred... more »

    I just want you to know I'm using Shelfari for its intended purpose and choosing one of the books off your shelf to get from the library. I leave you to guess which one. Your quest begins...



    NOW!

    Proud, strong

    Blinding sigh
    wraps my hips
    proud, strong
    kisses
    flounders
    belly
    gently
    wishful thinking

    Take
    hours
    dawn is about to end!

    Revolutionary Road= HATED IT. Totally thought it was overblown and overacted and hella stagey. The book is so elegant and cold and melodramatic in the best way; it just didn't translate for me. I was, in fact, thinking of emailing you to gripe about it, but then realized that, due to a horrible computer snafu a few months back, I no longer have your email address. Send it over, pronto!!

    Matt!!
    Long time no talk. Looks like you're keeping on keeping on, as usual.

    YOUR current obsession, not you're. Stupid spelling auto-correct thing... and stupid human for trusting it~

    Hey Matt-
    Just checking in to see how you're doing and what you're current obsession is. Looks like we'll never quite get you back from this Civil War kick! Seems the group is on another hiatus but I'd love to join you guys when you start up again. Now that's cooler weather I bet we can get more people willing to jump into something hefty and juicy!
    Hope all is well and look forward to reading with you soon!

    I'll revisit it. I never rate a book I drop. And if memory serves, I think I dropped this one way early. Sometimes I start something, get pissed or bored at the language (or because I'm exhausted... or sick of traveling... or ticked at my boy...) and I drop it without giving it a chance. You got it, I'll give it a second run.

    It seems that we run at a book from different directions, but that a good excuse for a great book fight. Interested in your high rating for "Glory".

    Thanks for the opinion...and just to respond, I'm pretty certain most thirteen year old's would have little interest in claiming 18 on a book site. Oh, and I added a few books..so as not to confuse you ;)

    You've gotta let me know how "The Sound and the Fury" is. I've heard it's a very difficult book to finish, so I take that as a challenge!

    Oh I see... The only reason I read Sputnik was because it was recommended to me by a friend. Originally I wanted to read Norweigan Wood since i'm a hard core Beatles fan. :) Other books you would like to recommend? Thanks for the note! :)

    Matt--

    Just read a book that I think you might really like, though it's fiction (of course). It's called "Let the Great World Spin" by Colum McCann. He's a New York writer (a reason I thought of you while reading this). This one is set in NYC, all centered around Philippe Petit's 1974 high wire walk between two of the World Trade Center towers. About intersecting lives. He also wrote "This Side of Brightness" which I read a bunch of years ago. After "In Hovering Flight" you might say forget--all I can say is that this guy writes circles around whatever her name is. Things with Mom are really dicey right now and I'm just reading what I can when I can. I'll be part of You Must Read down the road.

    Take care,
    Leslie
