I've heard some good things about it too.

One drawback is that I don't think it's out in paperback and even used copies are still pricy.

Editorial Reviews
From Kirkus Reviews
The singular pleasures of Mathews's (Cigarettes, 1987, etc.) title are in fact only one pleasure, and that one is the--well, the pleasure of masturbation. Here are sixty-odd (publisher's count) tiny pieces, one or two almost a page long, most only a paragraph or just a few lines, describing various people--well, doing it. Those various people are very various, from kids to old fogies, of all sexes, nations, places, needs, and callings, some alone, some with like-minded company. Some of the vignettes are silly, some exotic, some satiric, some erotic, most poetic, some neutral, and some--a few--touchingly lovely. The point seems to be--well, let that be determined by those who choose to ponder it. The illustrations by Francesco Clemente aren't lubricous at all, but (usually) slight, charming, and as ephemeral as a--well, as, say, a falling leaf. -- Copyright ©1993, Kirkus Associates, LP.

REDFEATHERS said:

dag, i miss him

JDINTERACTIVE said:

I cant remember... hey! JD! buy this book, and lets have a race, then we can lend it to our mums again and then they can have a race

REDFEATHERS said:

OK, I'll do that tommorow.

REDFEATHERS said:

Lucky was written prior to "Lovely Bones", and is based on her life as a rape victim. It's apparently very harsh... I've yet to read it. It's on my list, seeing as how I loved her other book.

The Da Vinci Code is fantastic. I've read it, it's one that you cannot put down once you start it. That's a good choice!

I'm gonna look into "Carter Beats the Devil", as someone up there suggested...

I'll let you know.

Yes I know, I read Lovely Bones last summer and wanted to read Lucky too, but they republished it cos of the success of Lovely Bones and also pushed the price up!

So I just bought it yesterday on sale
