I'm in a sappy girl mood and am looking for something to read that's a little romantic, a little classic Pride and Prejudice-y. I'm ashamed, but I need a fix! This is what happens when you read too many books in a row revolving around death. :rolleyes:
I tried Philippa Gregory out of...
This question made me realize that it has been loooong time since I had a soft spot for a character. How sad! I'll have to go with:
Janie in Their Eyes Were Watching God, representing the girls. Haven't read the book in years, but I remember her very well, and often.
And representing the...
Me!
I'm halfway through Paint It Black. I almost didn't buy it, thinking it sounded a little too punk, a little too young. I'm loving it though - her writing alone gets me. I'd forgotten how much I loved her style since, like you said, it's been forever since the last release.... And it's...
When browsing for books, I'm super-conscious that so much effort is put into perfecting the first line(s). So I read from the middle, to see how the book is REALLY written. :p Even so, I have always thought this opening line was fun and interesting:
I have been afraid of putting air in a...
If you're old enough, take some upper-level literature classes. English majors make the best boyfriends. :)

I loooove old movies, especially those with Carole Lombard! My favorites are both classic comedies:
My Man Godfrey (1936) - Carole Lombard and William Powell
It Happened One Night (1934) - Clark Gable and Claudette Colbert
The humor is amazingly modern. Makes you wonder how they got away...
Hehehehe. Oh, Chuck.
I found where I got the idea that he was working on a book on writing. At his website's writer's workshop FAQ: (chuckpalahniuk.net/workshops/faq)
They say this was in 2006, so I guess there's no telling when or if anything will come of it...
I suppose it would have to be the first book I ever loved, Pride and Prejudice. For me it's one of those books that is so familiar, reading it is like re-experiencing my favorite childhood memories. Sigh. :)
I love Chuck! But lately his books aren't doing it for me. :confused: I think I just need a break from the scum-of-the-earth character factor ...
Haunted was the hardest for me to stick with, but Sir Gut Free's story made it worth it. I've never felt so physically ill from a single...
But of couuuurse. :P
This month was like Christmas for me! I never buy new books, but I think I'm getting over that tic:
Animal, Vegetable & Mineral - Barbara Kingsolver
A Thousand Splendid Suns - Khaled Hosseini
Harry Potter & the Deathly Hallows
Spanish Demystified :cool:
