I don't have much opportunity to be around kids, but for some reason last year, I went to the library and checked out a bunch of Dr. Seuss books and read them. I guess my inner child needed a dose of Dr. Seuss.

When I was little, I had The Cat In The Hat and it really irritated me. I wanted the cocky sumufabitche to get eaten by a dog.

Never read any other Dr. Seuss books. Then when my daughter was born we got a collection of six Seuss stories in one book. The kids loved it. They especially likes "Yertle The Turtle" and the classic "How The Grinch Stole Christmas". I used to read the Grinch one to them EVERY SINGLE NIGHT...so much so that I could at one point recite the whole goshdarned thing by heart!

Nightmares and Dreamscapes by Stephen King.

This.

One of the stranger novels I've read in a while.

I'm only on chapter 2 but it's proven to be utterly compelling, strange, and a bit charming.

I've always wanted to write a future-world sci-fi novel that took place in Bangkok.

Apparently, somebody already has, and it was voted the 9th best Sci-Fi book of 2009

by Time magazine.

OK, finished the book today.

This is without a doubt, one of the best sci-fi books I've ever written.

It's also a wonderfully damning look at human nature and globalization and the West's role in it.

Superb, superb....BRILLIANT book.

I can't even begin to describe how insanely good this book is.

RUN TO THE STORE AND GET A COPY....NOW

I like the way you put two capital letters at the beginning of my name is that what the kids are doing these days

Sags... thanks for the recommendation! I am totally a sci-fi and fantasy fan and have put The Windup Girl on my list!

Endy....I've read The Shadow of the Wind and The Angel's Game by Zafon. Shadow is a GREAT book, set in beautiful and haunting Barcelona. Angel's Game wasn't as cohesive for me....it left me with a lot of questions about the characters.

I just finished this good read... vampire virus infects a group of scientists/military in the jungles of Bolivia and is brought back to the US, where it wipes out 90% of the human population, and turns millions of peoples into souless, blood-craving vampires (but not your average dracula-types). I recommend it!

ok ok I will

If you like Science fiction my favourite author has this coming out soon

The short story which is connected to this is great, worth adding to your to do list

Like the wind up girl I thought the passage might be over hyped but I will add it to my list

Still trying to finish this one. It's a slow read for me, even though I find it interesting and there are a ton of illustrations.

I just started WENCH, by Dolene Perkins-Valdez. So far, so good, but very emotional to read.

i was reading a chapter a day but the words are super tiny and alot of british stuff that will go over american's heads. he does have some stuff/ppl/slang explained at the bottom of the pages with asterisk's. i haven't picked it up in like 5 days. i gotta start back up again! i take forever to read books. stupid ADHD

"The memoirs of a beautiful boy" by Robert Leleux

It's good! Reminds me alot of David Sedaris
