Welcome to Better than Starbucks! Look around, make yourself at home, start a new thread or dig up an old one or just read and jump in on the more active ones.We are honored to be one of your first groups!
Thanx for the friendship'JASS!What are you reading?
You must read A Tree Grows in Brooklyn when you get the chance. It is a wonderful book. I've read it twice, and it's definately worth a third read! I hope you've been well!
Thanks for adding me. You seem very nice, and into good music and books too! I see you're reading Great Expectations, it's one of my favourite books, i hope you enjoy it as much as i did!!
Yeh Tom Waits was exactly one of those artists where i'd listened a bit to him, but not much and found him a bit odd. But then one day i just couldn't believe why i didn't listen to him properly. I can't wait to see Laura Marling at all. Some friends of mine who live in London have seen her a million times, i'm so jealous. But i finally get to see her. As for Emmy the Great, I found most of her stuff through http://elbo.ws/ You can search for artists and it will bring up a selection of links to mp3's you can download. So i just rooted around for her stuff through sites like that.
oh, and also get listening to Jeff Buckley. amazing artist.
hi there, looking at your last.fm i think you would like Emmy the Great, Johnny Flynn and i also think you should try listening to Tom Waits. He sounds weird at first but then you really appreciate the beauty of his music. I think you'd like his tracks 'Widows grove', 'Hows it Gonna End', and 'Christmas Card From A Hooker In Minneapolis' - momentarily perfect that one.
Ah, it's one of those types of books! I'm like that with Girl, Interrupted. I read the book when I was fifteen and read it on a monthly basis for a while, I tried reading it again last week and it felt like a chore. Thanks for letting me know what you thought of Speak. I'll have to give it a read!Oh and would you like to be friends on Shelfari? x x
Hello!I hope this doesn't seem creepy just randomly asking you questions but what did you think of the book 'Speak'? I saw the film a little while ago and thought it was excellent.
Geez, that's a tall order since all of them are so lovely! Sentiment rules on this one for me, though, and I'd recommend I was a Teenage Fairy- it was the first one I read. I think it's a pretty good intro to her style, which is unique and entrancing. She's always described as writing modern-day fairy tales that are impossibly cool, and it's true. Another good one would be her retelling of nine actual fairy tales, Rose & the Beast. I hope you enjoy them!
Francesca Lia Block was totally my first real, favorite author, and I don't think I would've gotten through middle or high school with out her. I'm still picking up her books and reading them, even though I'm in my twenties. I'm sure you'll enjoy them if you haven't read any already.
Hi!!! May I know one thing..why are your eyes closed?
