Hi newer stuff is nowhere near as good as his older books, but IDK... I have a real affinity to King because he introduced me to reading, I think. My first "adult novel" was Cujo, which I read at 11, and it scared the living crap out of me. It also made me hungry to read more, so I feel like I...
Peronel, looks like you and I have very similar tastes overall. I own The Color Purple, have seen it about 600 times, and I still cry every single time I watch it, despite the fact that I know exactly what is going to happen. It's one of my favorite movies, even though it is so sad.
I hardly...
Listen, buddy- you can't start a thread asking for embarrassing confessions and then mock and/ or insult people who do as you ask. Bad form. *shakes finger in a stern manner*
No shame there; I openly enjoy them and I'm over 30.
LOL. OK, now that I think about it, that (^) is slightly...
Everything is Illuminated, by Jonathan Safran Foer- Not as good as his other book
The Last King of Scotland by Giles Foden- Completely different from the movie, and I hated the main character. More on this to come.
The Good Life by Jay McInerney- Not as good as his other work
Poppy...
I'm an American, but I live in Belgium. From what I understand, Belgium has produced some fine writers, but unfortunately I only know one: Amélie Nothomb. I read one of her books, Fear and Trembling, which was a semi-autobiographical short novel about a Belgian girl working in Japan for one year...
I luuurve this book; it's my favorite Stephen King book, and probably my favorite fantasy book of all time. Of course some of the plot is a bit predictable, but I love the heroes - Wolf especially is an incredible character, and he made me cry a bit. It is full of suspense, and I absolutely...
Hmm, good thread. Mine (drumroll, please!)
In no particular order:
Arrested Development *sobs with Peronel*
NewsRadio
Six Feet Under
The Sopranos
Sex and the City (HBO rules)
The Cosby Show
Seinfeld
The Real World (even though it's getting suckier and suckier, this is my guilty little...
Um, yeah- I suppose mine's pretty obvious. *shrugs* Hi my name is Rebecca and....
Plus it is funny and rhymes and for some strange reason, it's never taken, so this has been my nic since forever.
I've noticed that these BOTM "discussions" never really go anywhere. I was wondering: do you think it would be helpful to post a couple of questions at the beginning of the thread pertaining to the book in order to get the conversation rolling?
Just a thought...
I think he tried, but he just couldn't pull it off... and thank you! Because his accent really annoyed me, too. :)
Although I really liked this movie, I still say it's his 3rd best gangster movie. Goodfellas was miles better than this one, IMO, as was Casino.
One word: Yes. The ending really makes you look at the book in a completely different light; you may decide you don't like the way it ends (I didn't!), but it is definitely interesting.
