VA-- have you ever read anything else of his? Really like Desolation Angels and his short stories, Lonesome Traveler.

I liked On The Road & Dharma Bums but I wouldn't call them big favourites.

As for re-reading, I re-read my absolute favourite books on a fairly regular basis.

anyone read "Gone Girl" by Gillian Flynn....a friend of mine just read it and loved it...

No but its on my list.....

made up my mind to go food shooping early tomorrow and on sunday not moving but off couch ..gonna read and sleep and maybe make a pot roast.

I am wading in a pool of children's books at the moment for my course, but I'm loving it! I'm about to start Louis Sachar's 'Holes'.

As for 'adult' books, I'm working my way through 'Wolf Hall'.

Got and started Pete Townshend's autobiography last night.

One of my daycare kids is a huge reader (he's a 3rd grader) and whenever he starts a new book, which is often, shows me what he's reading. Yesterday he walked in with Holes. He's almost done with it today. Apparently he's liking it. :thumbsup:

That's great to know! My tutor, Liz, has been raving about it since the start of term. We read the opening couple of chapters in class and it hooked me in straight away.

I read Wolf Hall when it came out. I need to ask for the sequel, Bring Up The Bodies, for Christmas, HVIII junkie that I am.

One book I am re-reading is 100 Years Of Solitude by Gabriel Garcia Marquez. I had forgotten how compelling it is. I recommend it if you don't expect the story to be linear & can deal with time shifts.

Some of my favorite authors - Belva Plain, Dorthea Benton Frank, Anne Rivers Siddons, Barbara Delinsky
