Posted: 11/10/07 at 3:29pmI finished reading a Clique book called "Dial L for Loser." I noticed that Massie Block was being a bitch because Claire Lyons got the part that Massie wanted, so I'm guessing that it's an "All About Eve" story.

Well I didn't want to get into it, but he's a Satanist.
Every full moon he sacrifices 4 puppies to the Dark Lord and smears their blood on his paino.
This should help you understand the score for Wicked a little bit more.

Finally finished Was. I really, really enjoyed the book, even if it was a bit challenging for me to follow. I loved the blurring of reality and fantasy, and how the stories were all woven together. I will probably re-read in a few months, as I'm sure I missed a lot of stuff.
Next up: Confessions of an Ugly Stepsister.
I would like to find some good yet mindless reading ... suggestions welcome.

Posted: 11/20/07 at 7:29pmI'm hoping to read "Double Cross" by James Patterson tonight. But during lunch at work I've been reading Tennessee Williams plays. I am currently half way through "The Glass Menagerie".

The Glass Menagerie is amazing. We get to read it for Lighting Design. It's one of my favorite plays.
I finished Between the Bridge and the River yesterday. What a wonderful, wonderful read.
Tomorrow I'm going to start The Caucasian Chalk Circle.

"You travel alone because other people are only there to remind you how much that hook hurts that we all bit down on. Wait for that one day we can bite free and get back out there in space where we belong, sail back over water, over skies, into space, the hook finally out of our mouths and we wander back out there in space spawning to other planets never to return hurrah to earth and we'll look back and can't even see these lives here anymore. Only the taste of blood to remind us we ever existed. The earth is small. We're gone. We're dead. We're safe."

"Shogun" by James Clavell. And no, I don't intend on seeing the made-for-tv movie.
But it's full of hilarious 1970s goodness! Aw.
I'm trying to read Terry Pratchett's Guards, Guards! again, but I'll probably have to drop it until my workload goes down a bit.

Posted: 11/23/07 at 4:19pmWell, a few years ago I read The Five People You Meet in Heaven, and it stands out as the most touching book I have ever read. Yesterday I bought Mitch Albom's latest novel, For One More Day, fully expecting to cry. I read it in two hours and didn't shed a single tear. Not good.

I just finished First Person Plural about dicephalus conjoined twins Owen and Porter, one straight one gay. It is a fascinating novel about interpersonal relationships, choices and sacrifice. I highly recommend it.
Unfortunately, I did not bring a second book with me on vacation!

it's amazing (well, it's positively amazonian) how many books there are titled FIRST PERSON SINGULAR. i liked the autobiography by CAMERON WEST.
but this new one by BEIERLE sounds intriguing indeed. thanks for the tip, DBP! (and that's the most adorable pic of your baby yet!)

You're welcome cturtle. Thank you cturtle.
Diva, read Middlesex. I don't think I am alone on here in recommending it.
I now have started Michael Tolliver Lives. I am enjoying revisiting these beloved characters.
