Thread: What Are You Reading? November 2009

Sweetheart, Sweetheart by Bernard Taylor. This was recommended on these very boards, on a dark and stormy night many years ago...or like one. I'm only 30 pages in and don't quite know what it's about yet, but I think it might be a ghost story...? I read a ton of horror in October for Halloween and discovered I wanted to keep going. BUT after this one I may switch to a rollicking adventure in the form of Airborn by Kenneth...

Sarah Palin's Going Rogue, the audio version, narrated by the author herself. My hubby declined to listen to it together so I'm still looking for a suitable time slot. Can't listen to it in the office either, don't want people to get the wrong impression... Right now, I'm about 100 pages away from finishing Sherlock Holmes stories. Boy, I'm falling in love with the character all over again. It's so difficult...

Rumpole of the Bailey by John Mortimer Reminds me of a great line from Will & Grace, where Jack calls this "Bunghole Up My Mainly."

Candy (1958) by Terry Southern and Mason Hoffenberg Keep on telling me about the good life, Elton, Because it makes me puke .

Aye....I'm hoping that I get it; and 9 Dragons is an amazing read...it mentions or features bascially every Conelly character ever too Bernie: Look in your heart! Look in your heart! Tom Reagan: What heart?

That's one reason I really wanted to get it back. It's sounds great! I've missed talking to you, but I've got to get busy. Take care. *~* *~*

I'm starting my Faulkner-fest after falling in love w/ both Absalom, Absalom! and As I Lay Dying . I've snatched up every book I could find and am starting from the beginning. All I gotta say is: in future Faulkner-fests, I will likely exclude his first two duds. Uck. Terribly boring and overwritten. Screw Soldiers' Pay . I do not look forward to having to read Mosquitoes before I can get to the Yok. stuff. Yes! Yes! Dig him!...

I have only read the first two short stories but I love reading horror in particular, psychological horror so hopefully there are some in there. The first story was kind of creepy but it didn't really scare me or give me goosebumps. The second story was a waste....pretty much about this girl who is obssessed with studying rare insects so she goes to bars and clubs to seduce men and take them to the apartment where she straps them down on...

Whos bothering you? No one dies a virgin, Life screws us all

Juliet, Naked by Nick Hornby ~ Nick's latest, regarding a music obsession and a deteriorating relationship. Just perfect. Dear Mary, you who gave birth without sin, teach me how to sin and not give birth.
