books
Huh. I just realised I don't have any book-type icons I can upload.
1. Almost Like Being in Love by Steve Kluger
2. Where The Heart Is by Billie Letts
3. Curious Incident of the Dog in the Nighttime by Mark Haddon
4. The Time Traveller's Wife by Audrey Niffenegger
5. Last Chance Texaco by Brent Hartinger
6. Boulevard by Jim Grimsley
7. Brokeback Mountain by Annie Proulx (re-read for the movie)
8. Johnno by David Malouf
9. Geography Club by Brent Hartinger
10. Vengeance by George Jonas (the book "Munich" was based on)
11. Gods in Alabama by Joshilyn Jackson
12. Wisecracker: The Life and Times of William Haines, Hollywood's First Openly Gay Star by William J. Mann
13. Tales of The City by Armistad Maupin
14. Lonely Planet's Toronto City Guide
15. Lonely Planet's New York City Guide
16. Amadeus by Peter Schaffer
17. Memoirs of a Geisha by Arthur Golden
18. Da Vinci Code by Dan Brown
19. Save Karyn by Karyn Bosnak
20. The Twins of Tribeca by Rachel Pine
21. March by Geraldine Brooks
22. The Shanghai Union of the Industrial Mystics by Nury Vittachi
23. We Need to Talk About Kevin by Lionel Shriver
24. Dispatches from the Edge by Anderson Cooper
25. Twelve Sharp by Janet Evanovich
26. The Cold Moon by Jeffrey Deaver: the latest in his Lincoln Rhyme series is probably running out of steam but I really like Linc and I have a hard on for all the forensic related stuff (Amelia wears Tyvek people. How cool is that). This actually took me a while to get into though the Watchmaker is definitely one of the more interesting bad guys I've come across in a while.
27. The Feng Shui Detective Goes South by Nury Vittachi: Does that sound like porn to anyone but me? No? *mind resides in gutter* I actually got this as a fill-in while I was waiting for something else and I quite enjoyed it. It's earlier in the series than the Shanghai Union, they're still in Singapore. This time the detective and his assistant have to travel to Sydney to solve the crime (and prove my point that the Opera House is one ugly and creepy building).
28. Where the Boys Are by William J Mann: To be honest I think I preferred Mann's biography of William Haines to this, I'm just not sure I actually liked any of the characters in WtBA. Except Javier. And he's dead. That said, it might be about a group of gay guys but a lot of stuff in there rang true for me, too.
29. Dead to the World by Charlaine Harris: picked this rec up off of someone on LJ, I'm sorry I can't remember who but thank you! I can never read anything in order, so this book is the 5th (?) in a series about a girl and her run-ins with Supes (ie. vampires, Werewolves, witches). I honestly wasn't expecting to like it but there's a fair few LOL moments in there. I'm looking forward to seeing what Alan Ball does with this for the small screen.
Next up: a couple Griffin and Sabine books and my bookclub book, if I ever get it from the library!
