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 »

    HI Matt. See you are into Roosevelt, Teddy that is. I have heard great things about "The Big Burn" and want to read it. I hear there is another bio out that isn't positive, called "The Imperial Curse", I bet you will want to stay away from that! I want to read "Lit" by Mary Karr, "Love and Summer" by WIlliam Trevor, "Wolf hall" by Hilary Mantel, and "The Lacuna" by Barbara Kingsolver, and "Invisible" by Paul Auster. Just finished "Her Fearful Symmetry" (not very good), "A Friend of the Family" (not very good), "The Year of the Flood" (good) and, although I am afraid to even post this due fear of being pillored, "Under the Dome" by Stephen King. I try to tell myself its okay since he was published in "The New Yorker" ha. Strangely horribly addictive. Don't hate me, ha! Take care Matt and looking forward to the next "You Will Read" when you feel like it, Best, Jane

    Dear Matt,I love Richard Ford! Are you enjoying it? I like "The Sportswriter" too. The style reminds me of Joseph O'Neill a little, no? Hope you love it, Best, Jane

    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!!

    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! :)

    Thank you for your response. I am currently reading Sputnik Sweetheart and so far i'm loving Murakami. I'm planning to read this next. :)
