I read "Heart Shaped Box" a few months ago.
I muxt admit, I only picked it up because I knew who his father was, and I was curious.
I liked it. he did a very good job with the subtle and not-so-subtle creepiness.
I still, honestly, do not know if I liked it because I reallyl iked it, or...
I know you've already gone to the store, But I'm hopping in here anyway.
I recommend anything by Christopher Moore("Lamb", "Practical Demonkeeping" or one of Laurie Notaro's essay books ("Idiot girl's action-adventure club", "We thought you would be prettier"). Also try "Good Omens" by Neil...
Have a peek at the Fionavar Tapestry by Guy Kavriel Kay, as well as, maybe, some of the Dragonlance books, specifically those by Weiss/Hickman. There is also Eragon and it's sequels, if you are a genre fan (I say this because, I loved them because I am a HUGE geek for the epic fantasy types, no...
I must be terribly desenstitized: I've been sitting here trying to think of an answer, and i can't. I don't remember any books that have given me that "look over your shoulder even hours after putting the book down" feeling.
Except MAYBE Pet Sematery, but that's mostly because a.) I was 11...
Book magazines I like are Bookmarks(a little bit of everything) and Locus (scifi/fan) I don't know if they would fit what you're looking for, but figured I'd throw them out there just in case you hadn't tried them.
Beyond those two, which I only get every now and then, (they were doing SUCH...
Well, I only recently redicovered sci-fi, after years of thinking it was all about robots and space wars. Silly, I know.
But I think I needed to read myself into ennui and get all the dragons and wizards and vampires and mystery gimmick series' out of my system before I was ready to give yet...
I liked this one, I liked the bitter but not quite tragic ending.
I also really liked who the 'bad guy' turned out to be because
It could have been the narrator that helped me like this book (Marie Lee), I actually checked this one out from the library's overdrive site because of the...
I made it through House of Leaves, It did take me a while, because I had to read it a bit at a time. it was certainly not a book that I had trouble putting down.
Of course, I generally do not read to think. I read to be entertained. (there are exceptions, of course, I try to force at least...
Hi there. I haven't been by for a while, and I'd forgotten my password, so I used the recovery form and THAT worked all right, but when I was finally logged in, before I went to the UserCP to reset it, I got a message telling me that the password request form had been submitted over 24 hours ago...
Not at all. "Way too harsh" would be calling me an idiot for asking. :D no worries, at all.
thank you for correcting me on where that book stood in the series (being the first in a new one). Good to know.
Most likely my course of action will be to read another of her books first. can you...
my boss is actually fabulous. I just don't want to insist purchase of something based on an ad in Voya and the fact I like the cover. All I'd have to do is say the word and she would put it on her purchase list.
It's more that I am trying very hard not to make idiotic recommendations (I have...
ok. I am researching this book based on an ad I saw in Voya. From what I understand this is an established Fantasy author but this book is her first YA book.
correct?
and. anyone read it? what did you think? I am actually TRYING to find a bad review or writeup for this book/author but I...
ok. I'll elaborate.
The Five People You Meet in Heaven - I just must not have been in the mood for uplifting things, perhaps I was looking for something more bittersweet..It just made me roll my eyes way too many times to say I really enjoyed it. It wasn't terrible... but it wasn't a life...
I'm working tonight, and reading not so scary stories to the wee ones when they come in. So I'm dressed in plaid full length pajamas, my sock feet, with my hair in big fat obnoxious pigtails (I have a lot of hair) and toting around my son's giant teddy bear, so I look like a little kid.
I'm...
