I just started the twilight series. While i do feel somewhat dopey for reading a book targeted at 13 year old girls, it is really well written. oh and the
movie looks to have the hottest cast ever:

I love Greg Iles so I am reading his newest book - Third Degree
I am a little over half way through with it. Next I want to read Chelsea Handler's newest book b/c she's funny as hell. |

Does anyone read James Patterson anymore? I'm looking for something for our beach trip, since my daughter will read Breaking Dawn first, I need a good
beach book. I saw a woman with James Patterson - Lifeguard the other day. I read Beach Road last year and I find his style of writing kinda annoying. Overall
it was a decent book, the ending threw me, altho I hear all his books are the same.
Also I'm trying to get Jimmy Buffett's Swine Not from the library but it's out. I know, don't be so cheap and buy it! I DO own his other books so I guess I should, but I wasn't sure about this one. Suggestions for something "Beachy"? |

JESUS FUCKING CHRIST DO NOT TELL ME YOU DISSED HEMINGWAY'S MASTERPIECE YOU PRETENTIOUS BAG OF GOAT JISMOoh, I totally just did! And who's the pretentious one, m'friend? You're the one who actually is pretending to LIKE that heap of garbage cleverly guised at "literature". "Hey look! A senile old man likes baseball! He sucks at fishing! Oh! Oh! Oh! He just caught a super big fish and it has taken him 3 days to kill it (SYMBOLIC, MUCH?). Oh shit, sharks killed his worthy adversary, whatever shall he do? Well, since they don't have sleds, he's just going to hate himself and pass out when he gets home". worst.book.ever. |

I just finished Mr. Clarinet by Nick Stone. That is one hell of a first novel. Loved it.

This weekend I purchased the book The Red Prince: Secret Lives of a Habsburg Archduke by Timothy Snyder, and so far so good.

Or maybe I am dissing over-the-top symbolism combined with stale writing and tedious boredom?
I have a story for you: once upon a time there was a dude named Hose. He posted on a message board devoted to Hello Kitty. Every so often, miraculously, there would be a post from him that wouldn't suck too terribly. Then he pissed off some Jews and they banned him. Three days later, he found a way to get around the ban and started a thread showing off pics of him with holes in his hand (freak). People responded with "aim better". Hose lived happily ever after. See how boring and completely unsubtle that was? JUST LIKE HEMINGWAY. |

You're kinda like a yipey little mutt that just never shuts up, aren't ya? The kind that barks at falling leaves in autumn and runs tail-tucked when
someone farts nearby. The kind reasonable people punt over backyard fences.
Do yourself a favor - stick to reading Harlequin romances and Teen Beat, and leave the real books to those who can appreciate them. |

Why read books when you can get a movie version?!?
