    John Irving

    I am currently in the middle of reading Owen Meany and I love it. I wouldn't want to see any movie adaptations of this book, because they would never be able to create that VOICE like my imagination has. I plan to pick up Garp as soon as I'm through with this one.

    What's your occupation?

    I work in the commercial construction industry. I make sure that the pieces that make up the buildings have been approved by the Architect and Owner. Wow. That sounds pretty boring when you put it on paper. How depressing. :(

    Sound of...

    My favorites: Rain, of course. I love to curl up and read when it rains. The sound of my husband's laugh. :) The sound of the air rushing past, the roar of the engine and the lap of the waves as we fly across the lake on our boat. The ocean.

    Assignment.

    I was sure that someone out there would figure out the reference. Martin, even though it refers to an old TV show, it still could work for you. :D

    the book you cannot drop after you start the fist page?

    Vox and The Fermata both by Nicholson Baker were two that I couldn't put down. They are short, but hilarious and sexy. I highly recommend them to those who aren't offended by adult content.

    word of the day?

    Ewwww. Why do I all of a sudden have this gummy feeling in my mouth? :rolleyes: How about Satanophany - Possession by the Devil or Scarpology - The science of determining characteristic traits by examining a person's shoes.

    I thought it was you, but I wasn't certain! I thought Color was ok. I am going to continue reading the series. Which book were you reading that had the rats in it? I really liked how Pratchett wrote the character of Death. It reminds me of how Death is portrayed in the animated show The Family...

    Plans for the weekend?

    Saturday plans are up in the air right now, because of the rain, but Sunday we plan on taking our nephew to see Shrek 2 and I can't wait!!! :D He is 4 1/2 and a blast to be around. He'll hold a bag of popcorn in his lap and dole it out to his Uncle and I. He plays favorites. He'll give a...

    For the automotivated ones

    Well, an unfortunate incident tore me away from the one car I owned that I would have driven until I was blind..a 2001 Mustang Cobra Convertible. :( I still get teary eyed *sniffle* when I think about it. It got replaced for a short while with an Audi A4, which I also loved. I made a BAD...

    Isabel Allende: The House Of The Spirits

    I just finished House of the Spirits and I really enjoyed it. I had actually seen the movie first and was fascinated by it, so I decided to pick up the book and read it. I must say, the movie didn't do the book justice. It really cut out a lot of the good stuff. I was kinda disappointed in the...
