Keep going on this sweet read. The whole spoiler thing is all well and good, but the resolution is pure poetry and does sort of rely on the flow, so stick with it.

"Heevy-jeevies" actually has lots of potential - think of the gastric possibilities. Sorry.. ew.

No vocal music while reading! I cannot be implored by Elvis, while simultaneously "listening" to the words of Flaubert. I end up just *viewing* the words. This used to happen constantly while I tried to read at lunch at work. Bleah. My quality of life at work recently took a nosedive when a...

Well, Carl Hiaasen fits at least the former requirement, as for amusing, he's more hilarious, more slapstick and "caricature" driven. If you've never read him, you can start with almost anything - I liked Sick Puppy pretty well. Once you've read a few you get the idea - they're not really...

( dude, this place is *wrecked up* ! )

This is a good group, though Picasso is definitely a mixed bag. Vermeer has a greater *hit* ratio per body of work, I feel. His oeuvre was pretty ding small. Didn't Sargent do both watercolors and oil paintings - I think I'm remembering right, his stormy seas maybe ... ? And Libre, what about...

In order by favorite: 1) outdoors, nice weather, stretched out in our porch swing 2) in bed, NO music, unless prompted by ambient distracting noisiness 3) at lunch in car, though I usually end up in employee lounge chatting, *maybe* reading.:)

I visit Literaryforums.org, a friendly little forum I find very cozy. Then there's Palimpsest, where I lurk like mad - this is good for my booklist. I'm also an occasional at fiddlefork, for fiddlers as you might guess, and at the picture framers' grumble. There are a couple more that are...
