Hi Ian,
I'm here in the UK and bought both these books over here, but Amy Tan is well known in the US as well, I think (where I am originally from). Tan writes about personal stories and doesn't hold back ont he tragedy and honestly. One you may have heard of is 'The Joy Luck Club'? Jenny...
Forgot to ask....
What was the bits in italics about? I am usually quite quick to catch things, but I don't remember them continuing through the end of the story and I am not sure what they meant in the beginning. Can anyone help?
If I combine my partners and mine we have well over 1000! Our room is being taken over. Seriously, there is barely any room to move in there. We installed wall to wall shelving wherever there was a bare spot, it's ridiculous!
We go to charity shops almost every weekend and buy at least 5...
Occassionally I have to treat myself to a new hardback (Birthdays/Anniversaries, ect) but for the most part not only is it a paperback, but it's a paperback at a charity shop or secondhand bookshop. Charity shops are some of the best places to find great books at great deals, especially Oxfam...
Thanks for the links Stephen. I like the Nervousness site a lot, but I just can't work out how to get my foot in the door to get started. It seems to be swamped with people trying to get involved and all I want to do is exchange my art with others, do you have any tips?
Thanks,
KT
Gosh, what a difficult question. Mine, like many others, is in a constant state of change. It depends on my mood really. Sometimes there is nothing better than a good twisted crime novel (even though I know it won't win any awards) and other times I marvel at the classics. So at the moment...
Hello all.
Nope, I snatched the photo from the internet. I have only photographed sharks in an aquarium setting unfortunately. Hoping to go up to Cornwall to take some footage of the migrating Basking sharks to rememdy that. :)
I am not too fond of romance novels either. I am currently...
Yes, one is called 'The Facts Behind Helsinki Roccamatios' and the other is 'Self'. It was the 'Self' one I was wondering if anyone read. It looks interesting, but I think I should give it some time in between 'Life of Pi' so I am not as tempted to compare the two.
I'd have to say (and this list is subject to change at any time):
A Streetcar Named Desire
Spendor in the Grass
Silence of the Lambs
Donnie Darko
Shawshank Redemption
Beyond the Valley of the Dolls
The Matrix
Schindler's List
Bridget Jones' Diary
Swingers
The books I remember loving as a kid were 'The Good the Bad and the Rest of Us', 'Where the Red Fern Grows', 'Flowers for Algernon' and 'Charlotte's Web'.
About 3 a month. I am a slow reader and really hate to see a good book end. Plus if I read while lying in bed, I can only manage a few pages before I am snoring and drooling on it.
This weekend I am going to the Mecca for second-hand bookshops and bookshops at a mega-discount (it's in a little town called Hay-on-Wye in Wales) and I really need some suggestions on what to look for.
First, I was wondering if anyone knew of a good novel for my friend who has been looking...
I used to be a big James Patterson fan until recently because I have gone off books that always have the same character in them. My favourite of his were 'Kiss the Girls' and 'Hide and Seek'. Now I'd have to say that my favourite authors are Amy Tan and Jenny Diski.
I agree Letterhead, I thought it was terribly dull. I am kind of sick of thhe superhero movies coming out. I love comics, but the movies never seem to live up to my expectations (except X-Men). I doubt I'd go see the sequel/spin off.
I agree, Bubbles, I found the pages about religion hard to get through as well. It wasn't because I found them dull, it was just that I found the talk of the animals int he zoo far more interesting.
I like the animal story much better! I thought the book was fantastic. A wonderful change...
