So I just finished this book, and it drove me crazy from beginning to end. I think I finished it mostly because I didn't have any other books on hand at the moment ( Read more... )

I went to the local paperback exchange yesterday and picked up a couple of Voyager novels and an X-Files novel, just because I wanted something to read that didn't cost me eight bucks or more -- never mind the thirty or so books I have in my To Be Read pile.

Last night I read The Black Shore, by Greg Cox, one of the Voyager novels that takes place ( Read more... )

Some of you may know that there is now a Bones tie-in novel. Yes, a novel based on the show based on the books. Not by Kathy Reichs. It's Buried Deep, by Max Allan Collins ( Read more... )

Apparently my mind has a single track when reading anything about David Boreanaz.

Anyone else buy Reading Angel, the new book of essays? There's some pretty good stuff in there. So there I was, reading along at work -- what? Don't look at me like that, it was the day after end-of-month, and I can't do anything until they're done running end of ( Read more... )

This entry is being typed jerkily because I keep jumping up and down to hand out candy.

Halloween is bad. BAD, I tell you. BAD!

The little ones are all so cute, and I find myself going, "Oh, they're so cute! I want one!"

BAD!For those interested in my costume, I put up a couple of pics from the party last night. It was fun but it got cold around ( Read more... )

Okay, anyone read the newest Angel novel, Love and DeathI'm not all that thrilled with the story so far, but the chapter I was reading right now made me throw the book down in disgust. It has Angel being Mr. Noble And Heroic and charging into a burning building and into people's apartments to rescue them ( Read more... )

I'm rereading Dreamworld by Jane Goldman. It's a murder mystery set behind the scenes of a Disney-like amusement park in Florida, and there are fun forays into the world of pop culture and urban myths. Given my various likes and hobbies, it isn't too surprising that I love it. And it's been a while since I read it (the first time was in June of ( Read more... )

"When Simon & Schuster published a children's book called Dr. Dan the Bandage Man, they decided as a sales gimmick to include half a dozen adhesive bandages in each book. Publisher Richard Simon had a friend at the Johnson and Johnson Company and sent him a telegram reading, 'PLEASE SHIP TWO MILLION BAND-AIDS IMMEDIATELY.' The next day he recieved ( Read more... )
