I'm in a sappy girl mood and am looking for something to read that's a little romantic, a little classic Pride and Prejudice-y. I'm ashamed, but I need a fix! This is what happens when you read too many books in a row revolving around death. :rolleyes: I tried Philippa Gregory out of...

This question made me realize that it has been loooong time since I had a soft spot for a character. How sad! I'll have to go with: Janie in Their Eyes Were Watching God, representing the girls. Haven't read the book in years, but I remember her very well, and often. And representing the...

Me! I'm halfway through Paint It Black. I almost didn't buy it, thinking it sounded a little too punk, a little too young. I'm loving it though - her writing alone gets me. I'd forgotten how much I loved her style since, like you said, it's been forever since the last release.... And it's...

This is sooooo cool! I'm obsessed with music - how did I not already know about this? Good work, curiouswonder, good work. ;)

When browsing for books, I'm super-conscious that so much effort is put into perfecting the first line(s). So I read from the middle, to see how the book is REALLY written. :p Even so, I have always thought this opening line was fun and interesting: I have been afraid of putting air in a...

If you're old enough, take some upper-level literature classes. English majors make the best boyfriends. :) But of course, if you actively go out and do whatever it is you want to do, meeting like-minded people will naturally happen. It just takes time, sometimes. (That said, I met my...

Domino and Blueprint for my decorating obsession Discover for factoids Runner's World for health InTouch Weekly for my superiority complex :o

The White Stripes! Queens of the Stone Age Violent Femmes Muse Tenacious D Garbage Audioslave (not the new stuff, blech) Nine Inch Nails Local H Rock out. :cool:

Zodiac, which was better than I expected. What can I say, I love me my serial killer stories.

I loooove old movies, especially those with Carole Lombard! My favorites are both classic comedies: My Man Godfrey (1936) - Carole Lombard and William Powell It Happened One Night (1934) - Clark Gable and Claudette Colbert The humor is amazingly modern. Makes you wonder how they got away...

Hehehehe. Oh, Chuck. I found where I got the idea that he was working on a book on writing. At his website's writer's workshop FAQ: (chuckpalahniuk.net/workshops/faq) They say this was in 2006, so I guess there's no telling when or if anything will come of it...

I suppose it would have to be the first book I ever loved, Pride and Prejudice. For me it's one of those books that is so familiar, reading it is like re-experiencing my favorite childhood memories. Sigh. :)

I love Chuck! But lately his books aren't doing it for me. :confused: I think I just need a break from the scum-of-the-earth character factor ... Haunted was the hardest for me to stick with, but Sir Gut Free's story made it worth it. I've never felt so physically ill from a single...

Thanks! :)

But of couuuurse. :P This month was like Christmas for me! I never buy new books, but I think I'm getting over that tic: Animal, Vegetable & Mineral - Barbara Kingsolver A Thousand Splendid Suns - Khaled Hosseini Harry Potter & the Deathly Hallows Spanish Demystified :cool: An...

Awwww Catalyst - I love your dog! What breed is s/he? So sweet-looking. I look forward to getting a dog, but until then I have two parakeets. Godfrey and Thurgood, the little gentlemen. They refuse to speak or be trained, like their predecessor. I punished them by putting them on...

Hey guys! My name's Cassandra. I live in Florida with a boy and some birds and a bunch of books. I like most anything, as long as it's well-written. Sarcasm is a plus, so is a lack of mushiness. Most of my favorites are classics, so I'm hoping to broaden my horizons and find some modern...
