Just pick one up and <i>go</i> with it.<br /><br /><b>PAT:</b> Like I said, King can be iffy, but his non-fiction book <i>On Writing</i> was excellent.<br /><br />There's nothing like a gripping book, except for occasional marital relations . . .<br /><br /><b>LG:</b> If Connolly sounds at all attractive to you, I would suggest starting at the beginning. He includes Austrailia, BTW, on his book signing tours.<br /><br /><b>LINDA:</b> It's SO good to hear from you, what with planning nuptials and finding room for books in the attic.<br /><br />I'm with you on Dave's next adventure.

I really enjoyed his book 'On Writing'.<br />At present I'm immersed in Diana Athill's 'Life Class' - her memoirs - four books in one and there are so many similarities to my own story I'm gripped.

I was <i>certain</i> your comment would be, "I hate fucking Stephen King!"<br /><br />If you like the idea of this post, feel free to use it. It would be interesting to see what <i>you're</i> looking forward to, and window shopping at Amazon is free.<br /><br /><b>HOPE:</b> It is so GOOD to see you back after your loss.<br /><br />I read <i>Coronado</i> and I wasn't too impressed by it. It bombed at the bookstore, so I suspect he's returning to a proven cash cow.<br /><br />"Uncle Stevie." How cute. LOL at <i>Cell</i> and nearly jumping out of the car.<br /><br />As far as audiobooks go, I heard excellent things about <i>The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society</i> and its four or five readers, so I ordered it—but have not listened to it yet.Charliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00722567671925063706noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38422444.post-43469344437043752502010-06-05T11:22:47.326-07:002010-06-05T11:22:47.326-07:00SHELLIE: My books are free too because Martha pays...<b>SHELLIE:</b> My books are free too because Martha pays for 'em.<br /><br /><b>OCEAN GIRL:</b> I think one of the nice things about blogging is we share all different things we hope others will enjoy and find useful.<br /><br />I share books and nonsense: you share exotic locales and foods.<br /><br /><b>FAY:</b> Great gigs are my middle name, whatever the hell that means.<br /><br /><b>PONITA:</b> If you like Diana G.

[Can't imagine how little Leo will pull off the movie role after that]. There was another audio book of his "Coronado" which was a series of short stories.<br /><br />Ah, Uncle Stevie. That's how King refers to himself when writing a column for Entertainment Weekly. Sometimes I like him, sometimes he grosses me out {Cujo, Pet Sem..}. I swear, I do read, but I listened to "Cell" commuting back and forth to work...and when my cellphone rang I almost bolted from the car. <br /><br />I like your list...will be checking some of them out.
