Bway - Oh, Brett Easton Ellis is so absolutely for the over-everything crowd! Haven't read him in years.
Glad you liked ...Mr. Norrell

Oh, I loved Strange and Norrell. In fact, I'm eagerly awaiting the sequel (which is so very neatly set up in the novel) and what I no doubt expect to appear on film within a year or two. Ian McKellen as Norrell, with perhaps some hunky new British hottie as Strange?
I have to admit utter fascination (my new catchphrase) with Ellis. He has a very warped mind. I mean, has anyone here read "Glamorama"?

Not to pimp my politics too much but Ayn Rand IS a libertarian, ya know.
I cannot recommend EVERYTHING by Nick Hornby highly enough!! "How to be Good" is the best novel I have read in the past year. Get it. Read it. You will thank me. If you've just seen the movie of "High Fidelity", I encourage you to read the book as well. It's like a magnifying glass into the male (admittedly, heterosexual) mind. Brilliant!

Posted: 2/17/05 at 12:23amyou know, i couldn't get through mr. norell. i got bored, but i'll try it again soon. you frankenstein folks should check out the mov ie "gods and monsters," even if you didn't like the frankenstein film. now i'm reading "nobody's perfect" by anthony lane and re-reading "franny and zooey" by my homeboy j.d. salinger. about to embark on the samual goldwyn bio by a. scott berg.

Digital Fortress by Dan Brown.
It's alright, but I'm not finding it as quick of a read as "Deception Point" or "Angels and Demons".
This was Dan Brown's first book, which might explain why I'm not as crazy about it. It's in a different format, and doesn't get right to the point, the way his other books do.

Posted: 2/17/05 at 9:49amI enjoyed Digital Fortress more than Deception Point, but that's because I'm a programmer/analyst... so it's about what I do.
