Ah-ha! Masterful!

Aww, m'dear. I want to see. But your link is not a url. :sad:

Hard to say. The more vibrant the life lived it would seem the more material there is to work with. But then it also depends on how much your readership is willing to go along with you. It kind of becomes a gimmick in the long run doesn't it? A gimmick with a shelf life, and I guess it really...

Oh, thanks for this link. I hate that for no good reason, other than possibly my Dyslexia, that I always confuse Augusten Burroughs with Anthony Burgess.

Here's a quick sketch of my first idea: Oh, puns. :blink:

C-U Edible Book Festival - 2008 Gallery Someone on the Hipster Book Club over on Livejournal just posted a link to the University of Illinois' Edible Books Festival. My favorite being: Kathleen Smith's "Grape Moments in Literary History: Grape Expectations; All Creatures Grape and...

Hooded Fang - "Land of Giants"

Jumping back and forth between Present Day Seattle and 1970's Seattle. In the present I am a high school English teacher. In 1975 I am surviving off the land. When I come out of the woods two weeks later I am in Canada.

Photography, painting, making/collecting 'zines, cooking, biking, silk screening. And so on.

Can I still get in on this?!

Ohhh. My partners mom lent this to me this summer. I really liked it. I paraphrase the little parable about Heaven/Hell and Chopsticks all the time.

Welcome, textnerd! I'm sad to see so many people without or losing their second-hand book stores. I thankfully do not have this problem, yet. *Knocks-on-wood*

Transplant the word "Borders" with "Chapters" , "Cole's" or "Indigo" and you have Canada's equivalent to big, all consuming, chain book stores. (Note Chapters, Cole's, Indigo...all owned by the same company and/or women).

The Night Watch by Sergei Lukyanenko was recommended to me by a co-worker, someone who reads fantasy exclusively. Although I think it might be a series, not sure.

Ditto.

Agreed! :p Welcome, CharringCross. I'm new here myself.

For those who are fans of Atwood I recommend listening to this years Massey Lectures. There's always a book published afterward, but the lectures, all 5 parts, can be found on the CBC's website for live streaming (CBC Radio | Ideas | Massey Lectures)

Porn is about sex. Erotica is about sexuality. A very thin line of distinction, I know, but that is how I see it. Possibly just semantics, but akin to the difference between "having sex" and "making love". I'm involved in the making of erotica (I pose for pin-ups and am a photographer as...

I think this would more aptly be labeled erotica than porn. It's certainly not romance, as the library would have us believe. I don't think you can just write it off altogether. I admit I am keen to praise it because I think the time in and circumstances under which it was published are...

Welcome! I've recently arrived myself. Thanks for the tip on the Hugh Laurie book -- I had no idea he'd written anything! Curiosity has killed this cat.
