I relearned how to read in college, and relearned how to enjoy it after graduating.

    I found this book so boring. As soon as I thought the plot was about to get better, there he goes running around a city naked. The movie was WORSE!

    I just finished reading your comments on The Time Traveler's Wife by Audrey Niffenegger and have to say that 'No' you are not the only person who didn't like it!

    Your review of Turn of the Screw amused me to no end.

    Dear Drew: You're up late. I have no chocie. I'm on my overnight shift. I'm from Haverhill, used to live in Boston until we lost rent control. I am also an author. My debut novel (written largely on these overnights) was published in April. I'm wondering if you'd have an interest in it. The story revolves around a charismatic young woman named Molly O’Dwyer. Molly was five years old when she witnessed her mother's death in a fire. She never knew her father. After her mother's death, she was raised on the campus of a Jesuit college in Boston. Now an archaeologist, she is recruited to participate on a dig in war torn Iraq. As a scientist she is compelled to know who or what is buried under the sands of ancient Babylon. As a loyal Catholic, she is scared that what she finds may have devastating consequences for her faith. There is an awesome YouTube book trailer well worth watching to give you an idea of the power of the book. If you get the chance, I hope you'll take the time to watch it and let me know your feelings. Thanks. Peter

    Well, think about it. How many books have ever been published? It has to be, like, thirty. At least. Maybe thirty-five.

    Why is the Razor's Edge the only book we both have on our pages?
