There was a point in my life where I could quote Good Omens at the drop of a hat. I would like to go back to those times.

I was torn between confronting her about the whole "YOU ARE SO UNDERAGE FOR THAT, MISSY"
At least it wasn't straight out pr0n. ;) But really, if she could understand Fight Club well enough to understand how to mimic it? BONUS. This is a reader you want to nurture.

Thanks ever so for the recs!

I love that book so. My paperback is worn out, and I adore the British audio edition I have on my iPod. It is most certainly my feel-good book.

AT LEAST. Thank goodness. I was so excited reading it -- this girl is the last person I would have suspected of being a Fight Club fan, never mind actually having that kind of writing skill too. Pleasant surprises all around! I showered her with much, much praise.

No problem! Hope at least something seems interesting enough to at least try.

Knowing Viggo my love Mortensen is in the movie adaptation can only recommend The Road more. ;) This is the same guy who wrote No Country for Old Men, yes?

I remember finishing The Gunslinger during my summer vacation after Gr 8 but I can't remember how I felt about it. I may have to pick it up again.

Jessica Darling series are at the top 10 of my docket; the whole series being one entry. ;)

It is indeed the same guy.
(I really, really need to see the movie adaptation of 'The Road'. I've been hesitant as I'm afraid it'll ruin the book for me.)

The fangirl in me says try it again. She's kind of crazy though, so I'd take what she says with a grain of salt.

AHAHAHAHAHA. Did I ever mention that I e-mailed McCafferty thanking her for writing those books, and she wrote back thanking me for bothering to read them? Woman is awesome. Her books are as well.)

Okay, so now they're in the top 5. When I become a ridiculously successful author/artist/nurse/goose-juggler, I will answer all fan email as well.

Damn right they are. As they should be.

(I fangirl the woman so very, very ardently.)

Same here. I know how much that made my day -- if I ever hit the big time through writing, I would want my fans to feel that same way.
