    Gregory Maguire: Wicked

    The politics definately turned me off. I read Wicked as a book club pick at work, and I was the only one to actually finish it, and I forced myself to. I don't think it added anything to the Oz stories. If you want to read something that makes you think of Oz in a different way try Geoff...

    deleted thread?

    I posted a thread, or at least thought I did, yesterday for us to list our July 2006 reads in it. And now it seems to be gone. Was it deleted, or did it just not go through?

    Carlos Ruiz Zafón: The Shadow of the Wind

    I'm going to boost an old thread, but I just finished reading this after talking to a coworker about Tomas Eloy Martinez. I loved the book. Sure it had some faults, but the story and the characters all just pulled me in. I liked the parallels between Julian and Penelope and Daniel and...

    Another Scam Author: Kevin Trudeau

    oh there are 2 books now. He also came out with "more" natural cures, but apparently his 15 minutes were up and no one really cared so much about the second.

    June 2006 Reads

    It was alright. I thought the ending and the "message" of the book was really forced, but it was an interesting read.

    Victor Pelevin: The Helmet of Horror

    I love this series. I really enjoyed The Helmet of Horror. Usually I try to avoid anything written in IM chat or email, but since the other books in the series were so good I gave it a try. Some of it went way over my head, but that didn't stop me from enjoying it. It's definately an...

    Kate Bush

    such a wonderful album. It's actually the album that got me into Kate. I had Sensual World and it never really clicked. Then I heard Aerial and it clicked in a major way, and got me to explore and really love most of her back catalog. The 2nd disc is just perfection from start to finish.

    What the Hell?! Post deletion blows!

    It seems to me, that if everyone spent more energy actually posting about books, and less time worrying what everyone else was posting and if it was strictly on topic this place would be a lot more enjoyable.

    Olivia Goldsmith

    Of course she's best known for The First Wives Club, and dying during plastic surgery. I've been slowly making my through her books and I've enjoyed everyone that I've read. They're total fluff, but she's so clever, wittym and bitchy. I'd really hate to have pissed her off. In The...
