Drew G

Drew G

Drew is an overthinking, self conscious, delightful, somewhat deviant, bookworm and comic nerd. Newly clean and sober, he has found himself thinking clearly, if not constantly and repetitively. Manic episodes of pronounced excitement, though short, cause him much embarassment. Weighted down by the large volume of unread books in his collection,... more »

    sadly, i'm not the glibbest gal in the book, so i'll probably leave the reviews to those who revel in them. i am, however, interested in reading more palahniuk and i've see you've got a few books of his on your shelf. what would you suggest for someone who has only read fight club?

    A better question is "what isn't going on?" Big spoileriffic events in Cap Reborn and Green Lantern Corps. Siege on the horizon for Marvel, which should streamline every title with the word "Avengers" in it. Deadpool's up to 3 ongoings.

    ha - i pretty much signed up with the idea of devoting ridiculous to mildly obscene amounts of time. thanks for the tip, though - i'm obviously a complete greenhorn. would you also recommend writing reviews?

    It was a very weird ending. I loved it conceptually, but there were some other aspects of it that seemed like they were thrown in there at the last minute, and came across as rather sloppy. But overall, well worth the read as a metafictional departure from King's usual stuff.

    Totally agree with you on the comics, but I think I'll be putting all of my trades up. I still have a lot more to add, but I'll get to it when I get to it. :)

    I didn't really like it but it's not bad enough not to finish. :D

    You'll love Tabloid. I'm halfway through the sequel and loving it.

    Great shelf, by the way. Just for fun, I recommend a James Lee Burke book. His latest is pretty good.

    Well, let me first confess that I've only read two Houellebecq books myself, "The Possibility of an Island" and "HP Lovecraft: Against the World, Against Life;" but that said, his novel "Platform" is not only his most notorious and well-known, but what many of his fans call his best as well, and which really touches on so many of the things that he's well-known for. I haven't read it myself, but it's where I'd recommend starting.

    Dear Management, Drew sounds like he could tell a story or two and talk about books. Can he come out and play?

    I rated the first 100 or so. I haven't rated some of the new postings. I haven't gone onto librarything yet, after spending so much time picking out books on here I needed a break. Do you have any recs for me from your bookshelf?

    I've read Porno too which I thought was alright, and the acid house is good too. Apart from that Filth is pretty gross, just totally playing on the whole depravity thing but to no real effect. Have made attempts at marabou stork nightmares and ecstacy but they're really not up to much if you ask me... there's loads more I haven't read like glue and bedroom secrets of the master chefs but I've not heard good things. he's still dining out on the good will from trainspotting... wouldn't recommend any apart from those three, trainspotting still remains as good as it ever got!
