I'm sad to see your review of Pride and Prejudice and Zombies. . . I had been hearing such positive things about how well the zombies fit that I was considering picking it up. But still, any excuse to re-read some Jane Austen is a positive thing! :)
Don't know if you've visited his site, but just in case:http://www.robertcrais.com/
Stanford's great. I'm thinking about majoring in Sociology and African and African American Studies. Well, either Sociology or PoliSci. Those are all great schools Emily applied to. Keep me updated!
Hi! How are you? I'm at Stanford. Where has Emily applied, and what's her first choice?
Same to you. All's good. I'm working from home during the break and go back next Tuesday. Alex leaves on Monday and Alana is out until the 12th (waaayyy too long).How are you guys?
yup there is an overwhelming plethera of books that i want to read
I liked the latest Crais. It was more like his older books. It was a good read. Right now I'm reading Swan Peak by James Lee Burke. So far, so good.
No. I'm a slow reader. I put some books up late...stuff like that. Right now, I'm reading Legacy of Death by Charles Todd.So far, so very good.
i don't demand too much intelligence out of my detective fiction. I always loved the relationship stuff between Spenser and Hawk and all that good old macho honor stuff. But Parkers lastest Jesse Stone convinced me that my parker days may be over. I may try one more, but Parker is getting pretty old and he ain't putting much effort into his writing any more. as to Robert Crais, it is the opposite. His books are getting better and better. Elvis and Joe are beginning to really be flushed out as characters. I have enjoyed all of Crais' books, but the newer ones are the better ones.
here's the book you should check out:In a Dry Seasonby Peter Robinson
okay, here's one you might like:Confessions of a Taoist on Wall Street by David Payne
Okay, Let me know how you like American Shaolin...I almost picked it up a few weeks ago.
so, what are you reading these days?I just started Ragtime in Simla. A mystery that takes place in India, 1922. British detective out to solve a crime. As I said, just started it, but it seems good.
yumm...i still think that you made tat recipe up though (or you should take credit for it at least)
so, I've a read a couple of the short stories--James Lee Burke's and RidleyPearson's--both were great and I'll be reading more soon! Thanks for the gift!
Hey -- a very belated happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, HAP-PY birth-day to you-oo... Happy birthday to you!!And ma-ny m-o-o-o-o-oo-re!You read a LOT!Did I tell you that I told Melissa we'd conserve weight (up to a point)?Well, she's up 30 and I'm down 2. So, ah, I think I need to pick up the pace.Week 28 and I'm cutting back, almost eliminating travel for March; due date is March 27. We've signed up for some prenatal classes, which start in February, and I'm looking to take some American SIgn Language classes so baby and I can talk smack about Melissa IN. HER. FACE. It'll be awesome!And thassal I know!
Hi again. Yeah, we read different books but there are some common ones--Jane Austen, Gish Jen... I just put some more books down and I realize that I like girly books--hmm. I'm impressed with your own (authored) books! We are going to Florida for the holidays and I'm bringing Dave Eggers "What is the What" and Junot Diaz's "The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao".
Hi Jen. I finally started putting books on my shelf and started a group with my book group. I'm still not clear on the features and benefits of the site...How was your thanksgiving, and hope you had a Happy Birthday!!-Greta
Hello, Jenny.Congo was a great read. Jeez, it was years ago and my brother and I and couple of friends were in Mexico. My brother was reading it and laughing too much. So we all waited for our turn to read it. Damn, the movie wasn't very good, though.
