have you seen the movie?

Not yet. I want to. It's in my netflix queue. I think I even moved to the top of the list.

I can't even remember how many times I've sat down & read Hollywood Babylon & still get just enthralled. Anger remains one of my true heroes.
An unsympathetic look about the most unsympathetic business there was/is...

A Room of One's Own by Virginia Woolf

By Carroll

I'm reading Juliana Hatfield's memoir. She's written it with a gritty realism about the crappy conditions a touring act have to endure in the club scene, which continually reminds us - as she is continually asking herself - why she would put up with the uncomfortableness of the venues and the rigmarole of occasionally having to be involved with the politics going on at a club, just to get minor things sorted out. This is continually juxtaposed - though not until a lot of questioning is done - with the idea that she was meant to be writing and performing music which either just feels right to her or there are special elements or moments in her life that she observes only are created by her doing so.

I've only read a few chapters so far, but I know it's probably going to be one of my favourite books of all time.

Right now I'm reading Zodiac by Robert Graysmith. It's really good and interesting. But that could just be me. For some reason I find serial killers fascinating. Not in like a creepy way, but more in a "what in God's name makes people do that?" kind of way.

DEAD POET'S SOCIETY...................everyone should learn something from this novelization of the movie.

The Juliana book is much more interesting.

is liz mentioned anywhere in the book?

SORRY, but the freakin' system freaked out and multiple posts blasted out....SORRY!:blink:
Is that the name of the book???!

i just read margaret atwood's the handmaid's tale. just as perfect as i had expected.
glad i decided to read it. i listened to the bbc audio retelling but reading it is a different experience.

starting to read Fall on your knees.

^^I bought that book in about september, but I haven't had time to read it. I want to though.

^God, I read that book when it first came out! LOL!
I couldn't read it again-it's a fine novel, but once was enough.

Currently perusing “Tangy, Tart, Hot and Sweet” – a cookbook by the glorious Padma Lakshmi

fall on your knees is either the most absorbing read ever or i am just the most insomniatic freak in the world. it kept me up, materia is such a sad character.

Oh! I love that book so much! Almost beyond words.

finished the hours.. great depressing book.

and starting a girl's guide to hunting and fishing.

Before that, I also read Confessions of a Shopaholic. It was funny (probably because I can totally relate!).

Fub, have you read Juliana's memoir yet?

send it to me and i will read it. bah

The Complete Persepolis
I loved it!

How Jews Became What Folks and What that Says about Race in America
For my ethnic studies class. It was boring.

My friend Lisa's blog posts. Well, its more like I watch her awesome karaoke vids. If the sound quality were clear you'd hear her wailing, you just gotta open your ears. Its actually a great lesson in listening and watching.

Seriously, watch her go, you might have to add her but she seriously is Butthead at best.

Watch Her Go!

Lovely.

margaret atwood - alias grace

just finished richard yates' the easter parade. really harrowing and depressing small novel about two sisters who live really sad lives.

Some of the Shopaholic books
Alice's Adventures in Wonderland
Through the Looking Glass
The Secret History

Today in the sun while swinging in my hammock I read.

A book on CAT POWER alias Chan Marshall....very interesting

Right now I'm reading:

Right now I'm reading Blindness.
The writing style takes some getting used to, but I'm liking it so far.

bought some good books which i hope to read after i get done with alias grace (which, yes, i'm still trying to read, it has gotten good though)


stephen king's misery
wuthering heights

Right now I'm reading Can You Keep a Secret? by Sophie Kinsella.
Before that I read JHeartsick by Chelsea Cain.

I read Valley of the Dolls. Then I remembered I had a book under my tackel box that I keep in the whole of my yatch. Its called The Priness and the Goblin very crass yet I do enjoy an ole yeller.

An OPRAH BOOK OF THE MONTH??? Really Fub! REALLY!!!

lol yes. it's good. i've read more than my fair share of oprah book club selections including back roads, here on earth, fall on your knees and some other stuff.

this one is pretty thick so i might finish it in 5 months. lol

I'm reading "The life of call girl" Its about this hoe that has a foot fetish.

The Ginger Man, by J.P. Donleavy. Very spicy.

Did someone in that book get cold feet? I'm in the market for a new book every thing I've been reading is complete gibberish. These new alien vistors love star wars. I love acid mouse what to do?

If you hate Oprah like I hate Oprah, then you'll LOVE the Ginger Man. Plot? Doesn't need one. Character development? Never heard of it. Verbs? Only when absolutely bloody necessary. If you're looking for drunk, impotent, and incoherent, then the Ginger Man is your bible.
