    Jeffrey Eugenides: The Virgin Suicides

    I adore this book and all I can really add to what has been said( my thought on the book perfectly captured by Stewart) was that I felt the writing held a tremendous warmth(dubious babble there mind you I near hate myself for using the word warmth in relation to a book).

    Jeffrey Eugenides: Middlesex

    I have read Middlesex and it's a great read but my enjoyment of the novel was hampered because I was continuously expecting some 'crazy twist', which of course never happened. I will have to re-read it to honestly form a proper opinion on it. I thought it was well written except a tad verbose in...

    Ok folks, who are our smokers and who are our non smokers?

    I'm a non smoker and i detest the smell of smoke and how the smallest whiff gets into my nose. I do have to add however that i deplore the use of increase taxation on cigs as a form of forcing people to quit for it's become about the mere money landing in gov. funds. In Ireland we have a smoking...

    When do you give up on a book?

    I give up about 200 pages in and then feel disgusted with myself for waiting that long!

    Chuck Palahniuk

    The thing for me with Palahniuk is that while I think he is a terrible writer in any sense of style or even at times terrible structure he always had the ideas to keep his work afloat. I could overlook his numerous other flaws as long as he kept the interesting ideas but by choke i found the...

    Favorite Quotes

    ''Could this have been love? Grant it to be one form of love, for even though at first glance it seemed to retain its pristine form forever, simply repeating that form over and over again, it too had its own unique sort of debasement and decay. And it was a debasement more evil that that of any...
