Hello all, I'm reading Dragonflight by Anne McCaffery, after finally figuring which book comes first in the Pern series. I just finished The Hours by Michael Cunningham, and I'm planning to watch the film pretty soon.
Just noticed a flood of Aussie newbies. Would someone tighten up the A2k immigration laws?
KIDDING!
Welcome happen! We're glad you're here.
Lol, well one can't help where one orginates from I suppose. Thanks for the welcome, this looks like a nice place here
Happen, if you'll look at my profile you'll appreciate my tease a little better.
The Book of Illusions --- Paul Auster
I just finished "Gods and Legions" by Ford. There was nothing wrong with it, but "Julian" by Gore Vidal was a much better book.
Just started the second "Dark Tower" book. Darn that lobster.
Seeing Voices by Oliver Sacks ... a journey into the world of the deaf ... click
For a small book, it's caused a lot of thinking on my part. The footnotes are extraordinary.
Mile-o-phile, will you be our resident Buffy?
I am currently reading
"The Day of the Jackal"
good book.

I'd love to but I'm afraid I'm not the type you'd like to see jumping about killing witches and vampires.
The Return of the King. The poetic structure of the dialogue in these books is amazingly cumbersome to read.
Just finished BETRAYAL, by Gillian Slovo. A political thriller revolving around African National Congress activists in the 1980s . Quite gripping: who is the traitor in the midst?
Beth, I discovered Sacks in the New Yorker from an article called:"The Man Who Thought He Was A Hat". Fascinating stuff about the brain and its complexity.
Farmerman, Mile-o wrote me a fascinating p.m. explaining the basis for Eco's "Foucalt's Pendulum". He(edited) can be our resident medievalist.
Margo, couldn't quite make out your message under my quote, but thanks for the "attaboy"
Panzade, I believe that book was "The man who mistook his wife for a hat".
I'll agree with you, it was fascinating.

lol, Mile-O-Phile is a
he - the girl in the avatar is Audrey Tatou, star of
Amelie.
"Eats, Shoots & Leaves"-- a book on punctuation that's a lot of fun...
There we go Milo, I fixed my post.
