I want to see a picture on here the VERY next day of you running your fingers through his scraggly yet imaginative beard! Put them in detention or something! This is THE G.R.R.M! Is it as controversial as his other book? You know, the Jesus one.

  Member Since: May 2000  RK: 6 MP: 1,452 | Friday September 25, 2009 4:39 PM You mean, the book that should have been titled... ***SPOILER*** "The Holy Grail was a Vagina"? Anyone you can describe as chipper is to be avoided. You never know when they'll crack. Eventually, they're gonna start gnawing on the nearest thing they can, whether it's a hood ornament or wristwatch, wrist still attached; a moment when that uniform they've made for themselves breaks down and they fall to pieces, right out of it. Give me the life-haters any day. They'll play you straight. -Oobie |

I'm super glad I finished my coco pops before reading this. It would've been a bitch getting the milk I would've snorted out my nose off my monitor. "Just imagine the headlines 'Howard Moon, Colon, Explorer'. Got a ring to that don't it?" "Colon Explorer?" "You know what I'm saying." |

Member Since: April 2002 RK: 13 MP: 6,311 | Friday October 23, 2009 7:41 AM  , oh you!In a similar vain, I'm reading Angles and Demons by Dan Brown. Since I am not the Catholic Church, I am enjoying it. Definitely not as controversial as the above mentioned, but quite suspenseful.

Member Since: May 2000 RK: 6 MP: 1,452 | Friday October 23, 2009 11:20 AM I enjoyed Angels and Demons almost more than the Da Vinci Code (might have been something to do with the fact that it didn't have a ridiculous amount of hype to live up to!) I also really enjoyed Digital Fortress.Currently reading Open Secret by Stella Rimington, first female head of MI5. It's her auto-biography, very interesting. I have read all her fiction, also excellent. Anyone you can describe as chipper is to be avoided. You never know when they'll crack.

Member Since: April 2002 RK: 13 MP: 6,311 | Friday October 23, 2009 6:27 PM Just got done with it, and I am in agreement. While I found the end a little...not as good - I still think I enjoyed it more than the DaVinci Code. Starting this one next, found it for .50 at the local library. Glad it's got a thumbs up from you.  Am I a bad person doing good things...or a good person doing bad things... - Dexter |

 Member Since: October 2000  RK: 14 MP: 7,189 | Tuesday October 27, 2009 2:04 AM Dan Brown. *shudder*Just finished Piratica II by Tanith Lee. Not as good as the first, but a decent enough pass-time. "Ubik" by Philip K. Dick. Quite good, but not his best. Have started once again on Lee's "Anackire", and getting more into it this time around. I feel happy...I feel happy!

  Member Since: October 2003 RK: 8 MP: 2,249 | Tuesday October 27, 2009 3:07 PM I am currently reading "Blue Shoes and Happiness" by Alexander Mccall Smith which is book 7 in the No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency - such a cute series... HOWEVER, I picked up "The Gathering Storm" today and I can't wait to get into that book!!! I felt like a little kid in the candy store walking out with a book I've been dying to read! I feared I was going to have to read the series a few more times before this book came out - but I heard the second (or is that thirteenth) book will be out around the end of the year!! ~dances~Westley: Hear this now: I will always come for you. Buttercup: But how can you be sure? Westley: This is true love - you think this happens every day? i'm going sane in a crazy world..... before you insult someone, you should first walk a mile in their shoes. That way when you insult them, you are a mile away and you have their shoes. |

Member Since: May 2000 RK: 6 MP: 1,452 | Tuesday October 27, 2009 5:10 PM Every time I read anything by McCall Smith I want to move to Botswana. I'm sure it can't be as lovely as he makes it seem, it's third world, isn't it??Anyone you can describe as chipper is to be avoided. You never know when they'll crack.

Member Since: October 2003 RK: 8 MP: 2,249 | Wednesday October 28, 2009 1:08 AM His stories and style of writing are so awesome. He does paint this lovey picture of a 'perfect world'... Have you watched the television series yet? I was afraid to at first, mainly because I already had the characters looking a certain way in my mind, but I think it was cast rather well!!
