Hanako | 33 comments It's a six-part series that consists in very chort chapters. The scene takes place in San Francisco and deals with a lot of different characters. It has good reviews and listed in a lot of best book list. It's supposed to be very funny, very sad, very entertaining, very Everything actually...! Lots of my friends are currently reading them.

message 27: by Jim (new)

Jim (jimmaclachlan) I really liked Lonesome Dove, although there is one scene in it that gives me the creeps (snakes!) to this day. Must have been well since it stuck with me so well & it's been a decade or more since I read it. I liked the movie (mini-series?) too.

A Dirty Job was a lot of fun. I can only take so much of that sort of humor, but it was a quick read & interesting.


message 28: by Dean (new)

Dean (cowboys86) | 122 comments I recently bought Lord of the Flies (great read) and Blood Meridian. I really liked The Road, it was a brilliant read so I decided to try out another of Cormac McCarthy's books.

I plan on buying Bram Stoker's Dracula, Gulliver's Travels and The Picture of Dorian Gray at some point over the weekend.


message 29: by Vicci (new)
