Promise to Nadia ~ Zana Muhsen

 

[Max J Power]

Gentlemen of the Road by Michael Chabon.

Great in terms of prose, plot, and characters. Chabon is a genius, and his embrace of more genre-oriented work (compared to other literary authors) is extremely refreshing.

finished Tuesdays with Morrie today while in the ER. good touching book

 

[Eggyman]

Imperial Bedrooms by Bret Easton Ellis. Pretty good and very dark. It was nice to revisit characters from Less Than Zero, his first book.

 

[Figs]

Everything's Eventual

What did you think of that one? I thought it was alright but definitely not his best short stories novel.

Last book read...

The Odyssey

 

[VampElvis]

The Lost Symbol by Dan Brown.
What a terrible, terrible let down. His worst book, I think.

 

[GoblinWhirlwind]

What did you think of that one? I thought it was alright but definitely not his best short stories novel.

Yeah, it was just decent to me. I liked a couple of the stories, but they were pretty mundane... nothing too extreme. I'm gonna try 'Just After Sunset' soon.

 

[Spidey-Bat]

King, Kaiser, Tsar by Catherine Clay. I was sitting outside with my dog reading it and a bird pooped on the page. Had to order a new one.

 

[Figs]

Yeah, it was just decent to me. I liked a couple of the stories, but they were pretty mundane... nothing too extreme. I'm gonna try 'Just After Sunset' soon.

I still need to buy that one...i'm a big King fan. Not all of his stories or short stories work for me but the majority keep me happy. I still need to finish a few Barker books as well as some of King's recent works. My buddy at work says Under the Dome is pretty good.

 

[ChickenScratch]

John Gardner - James Bond, Never Send Flowers
John Gardner - James Bond, Man From Barbarossa
John Gardner - James Bond, Death Is Forever

 

[TinkTonks]

Yeah, it was just decent to me. I liked a couple of the stories, but they were pretty mundane... nothing too extreme. I'm gonna try 'Just After Sunset' soon.

I like 'Just After Sunset' a lot better than 'Everything's Eventual'. I didn't like every story, but several of them were great. Especially 'N'. Be sure to read that one! As a person who actually has ocd, it really freaked me out haha!

-Scott Pilgrim vs. the Universe by Bryan Lee O'Malley

[Crockett]

The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest by Stieg Larsson.
Is far from perfect, the book is a bit overflowing at times and oddly paced but still manages to be a page-turner and is a satisfying finale to the series.
3.5/5
