    Need Help Please!

    Book Shelf Or Shelve Books?!

    I keep everything unless its absolutely awful. I dont generally pick anything awful, so Ive got a massive collection. My Goodreads list says Ive got about 1200, but it must be more than that because I will buy duplicate copies of stuff that Im obsessed w/. Ive got a whole garage-sized room...

    Jack Kerouac

    Your excitement may be premature. Theres been talk about a cinematic adaption of OTR for 10 years AT LEAST.

    Jack Kerouac

    If you know the rules, then youre free to break them.

    Jack Kerouac

    Oh, well then dont bother w/Visions of Cody. Though I personally found it a delight. Getting off track & into irrelevancy is part of the point, IMO. Dude, its called stream of consciousness man.

    Jack Kerouac

    Careful w/the Pynchon.

    You will love those. Dont forget to do Desolation Angels & the Subterraneans if you havent already.

    Jack Kerouac

    I read OTR when I was probably 14, & have loved the Beats ever since (Im 33 now), especially Kerouac. I went through the whole lot of the material a long time ago, & have revisited it several times since. Dont take anyone's advice that has been given thus far in regards to author's "like"...

    Need a new VAMPIRE book

    I just think the newer stuff is bland compared to the unique, passionate intensity of the early work. It seems like she is really trying to distance herself from those first novels like Lost Souls & Drawing Blood. Theres an intoxicating quality to the writing then, & its missing now, IMO. What...

    Need a new VAMPIRE book

    Ha! Good question. Actually, I discovered PZB by having the username Nothing! I took Nothing from Trent Reznor's label, Nothing Records. Through speaking w/some people online many years ago, someone said to me, "Too many Lost Souls fans". I didnt know what they were talking about, but I soon...

    Need a new VAMPIRE book

    Check out Poppy Z Brite's Lost Souls. The writing is really something special.

    Charles Dickens

    Theres the BBC adaption of Bleak House. I own it but havent watched it yet. Its supposed to be great. Pick up Great Expectations. I know its sort of massive but its a such a treat, you wont mind the length.

    Juno

    I thought it was pretty overrated crap. The writing was too self-conscious & forced. Though I do like that Bleeker kid. Hes quirky.

    Russell Banks

    Thanks! I will probably start one of these in the next couple days. Will let you know what I think!
