Heavenly

Heavenly

I'm a graduate student in linguistics and try to fit in as much pleasure reading as I can. My favorite genres are Gothic and Decadent literature. I like period pieces, fairy tales, supernatural elements (especially ghosts and vampires), sad stories, homosexual themes, religious themes, madness, and most of all, beautiful prose. I also like... more »

    If you like kids books about a mouse, try "The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane". It's perfect. I had nothing to read on the train one day, so I picked this up and couldn't stop reading it. I actually read it twice - on the way there and on the way back. Oh, and how can I forget the Hermux Tantamoq books by Hoeye.... classics:).

    Welcome to 1001 books. You can keep track of the books you have read from the book, 1001 Books You Must Read Before You Die, join in the discussions on the books we are reading for the month (BOTM) or you can debate the merits of the list as some enjoy doing.

    Hello,

    I'm glad you mentioned Don't Look Now, because this film is the reason why I'm able to spot her name at all (being able to spell it seems to be a whole different story alright). Still, this movie in particular supports the point that she delivers excellent material for visual adaption.

    As to Nabokov, it's hard to argue with his excellence, but there are writers I am more impressed with. Scarcely some I like more though. Have you read this interview with him? http://parisreview.com/viewinterview.php/prmMID/4310

    All the best,
    Seb.

    Hey-ho,

    I didn't have time to browse through the whole of your shelf, but it seems to be a pretty inspiring one. I spotted Daphne de Murier: I have never read anything of her, conventional wisdom has it that her stuff is pretty mediocre – as opposed to the movies that are based on it. Seems like it easily translates visually. Do you think it's worth picking it up as a book though?

    Best,
    Seb.

    Darn, I love yer name, Heavenly. Seems to suit you well. I enjoyed your sites.
    I'm having a hissy-fit to tell you....my book 'Returning to Rockwell' was released on amazon.com today. I compare it with giving birth. After all, with God's help, I did create it. That's the fun of writing fiction.
    I hope you'll read my tale and let me know what you think of the main character, Dana Lynne O'Malley.
    You'll never know how very much I appreciate your support, Heavenly.
    Come, share a bottle of champagne with me.
    May God bless you and all your endeavors day-in and day-out.
    Peace and Light,
    Taylor

    Dear Heavenly,
    Before I say anything else, please permit me to ask: "ARE YOU OKAY?"
    Those fires have me worried about Southern California. I do pray you, your family, friends and home are out of harm's way.
    Thanks for joining my friendship list.
    Your shelf presents a harmony in your soul.
    I hope you wouldn't mind if I message you when my new novel is released. Should be very soon. It's not a Christmas story but pretty darn near.
    With a name like Heavenly, I don't suppose I should be concerned about you, should I?
    God bless you my new friend.
    Peace and Light,
    nelehrolyat, but please call me'Taylor'

    Ah, yes, "A Rose For Emily"--Faulkner's sole foray into English and plotting.
