I've read up to that book, but they got entirely too homoerotic for me, honestly (not a dig at you or anything).
Interview with the Vampire was good, The Vampire Lestat was good as well. The Queen of the Damned was excellent, and then The Tale of the Body Thief was kinda bad. Memnoch The Devil was incredible, and then it went right back to meh with The Vampire Armand.
Armand I got about halfway through and couldn't take any more of it, I didn't think it would be a romance book.
I read Shop Girl by Steve Martin after watching the movie and loved it. So I started reading his other book The Pleasure of my Company which is great! Everyone should check it out.

I had not heard of World War Z but I read the Zombie Survival Guide and thought it to be very thoughtful and the stories were interesting. Recommended.
Just for kicks last night I tried to pick up Echo Park by Michael Connelly and within the first page I could tell it was going to be shit. By the 2nd, I was done taking a shit and couldn't give a shit.
I saw Shopgirl (the film) and loved it. Steve Martin is an excellent writer. I may have to check the book out. Pure Drivel (a collection of his short stories/essays) is awesomely hilarious.

Just browsing with a buzz going on, and I noticed her post, since she hasn't posted in a LONG time. It just hit me that if her avatar was an updated pic, then man..... Well, I already stated my opinion...
Anyways...I read "real women don't wear size 2", my mom gave it to me...it was a chick flick type of book though. Now im reading "the last promise"...post author tomorrow...
Also by Max Brooks, it's a narrative history of the Zombie War from various perspectives of survivors. After some of the chapters I just had to put the book down and reflect. Phenomenal.
Well, the only other person I've openly said that about on this forum is you. So that puts her in the same league as you. I guess that doesn't say much about you either in that case.
About me?
Sure it does. It says that I recognize that all women are God's gift to men. They are his artwork. When he made men, he was being practical. "Okay, lets give them muscles to do work, and logic in order to make up for what they lack against other animals." When he made woman, that was his art. He gave them beauty. Just look at how curvacious they are. That is irrefutable evidence that women are God's work of art. The simple statement "I'd hit it" implies that I realize and recognize God's beautiful artwork in both you and Jinx. So if your statement was about me, in reality it does say a lot.
