she writes a lot like john irving does. very slice of life, and then out of nowhere - crazy shit bordering on the silly.

cborgman said:

Now I'm intrigued! I loves me some Irving

i do and i dont.

ciderhouse rules is my all time favorite book, period.
hotel new hampshire was awesome, though a bit goofy.
garp was good, but a bit too goofy for me.

cborgman said:

I've only read about half his books so far. Hotel New Hampshire and Garp were actually the last 2 I read. They both had some cra-zazy shit going down. I think I preferred Hotel New Hampshire though. Owen Meany is prolly my favorite thus far...

I recommended it to everyone I know. No one read it.

In the end I got my mother to read it. She loved it.

endorphin74 said:

heard great things about owen, but have not read it.

read ciderhouse. starts off slow, but is a GENIUS book. i identify with homer wells SOOOOO much.

cborgman said:

Oh, I read Cider House..I liked it a lot, but not quite as much as Owen.

endorphin74 said:

i've read ciderrhouse twice. and will read it again. it is my all time fave, mostly because i am homer wells.
HATED the movie for cutting and changing so much. my lifelong dream is to do a full version of the book as movie in two parts.... maybe a miniseries

We need to do a book exhange!

How do you like it? Strange crazy book.

I loved Song of Solomon, and I did read another book which I can't remember the title of - about the 2 old ladies, can't even remember the plot now either

I'm reading The Greatest Man in Cedar Hole, entertaining enough so far. I have A Suitable Boy on my shelf to read next, should take me about a year to finish since I only read a bout 5 pages at a time.

the book your talking about is called "love". i have that one but i haven't started on it yet.

charlottegelin said:

I have a copy of that as well, and I really want to read it. I've read some of his poetry and it's beautiful.

But it's such a committment. lol

brownsugar said:

thanks! they have Jazz too at the library, though I can't remember if I read that already I sound hopeless!

2the9s said:

it's 10cm thick! my mum keeps telling me it'll be worth it, that it is not difficult reading and I'll get right into it, but starting it is such a daunting thought!

cborgman said:

I should re-read that one as I don't remember it super well any more. I've not revisited ANY of his books yet. I usually only do multi-reads with Vonnegut or Robbins...

Tough Guys Don't Dance--Norman Mailer. I'm enjoying it. It's a page turner hard boiled style murder mystery, but it's well written, not just schlock.

Just bought a copy of the Davinci code!

The org, of course!

A Suitable Boy is a fantastic book. It's very long, but well worth ones time. I thorouhgly enjoyed it.

I watched a full show of WWE for the first time in years the other night. I kinda wanna see Wrestlemania this time.

I like that idea, Ka!

2the9s said:

Obviously she needs to rethink this now.

Bitch, please. Ka loves me.
