Quotations and Literature Forum

Good for you, I read that last year. I hope you read Notes from Underground as well.

To follow Romeo's Format
1. I've just finished Morgan Llywelyn's Bard
2. I'm big into Irish literature and Historical Fiction, so I picked it up
3. "See a tall man pacing alone on the twilight beach, caught between the dying day and the incoming tide."
4. I enjoyed the book a great deal, and I know it will go on my shelf right between Angela's Ashes and Trinity, but I felt that the main character was overly melodramatic and that there was too much art worship in the novel. It wasn't a chick book, but you can clearly tell it was written by a woman.

Where Have All the Leaders Gone?~Lee Iacocca

"Am I the only guy in this country who's fed up with what's happening? Where the hell is our outrage? We should be screaming bloody murder. We've got a gang of clueless bozos steering our ship of state right over a cliff, we've got corporate gangsters stealing us blind, and we can't even clean up after a hurricane much less build a hybrid car. But instead of getting mad, everyone sits around and nods their heads when the politicians say, "Stay the Course." Ch. 1, p. 3

Though I have not read that one by her, she is one of my faveorite authors, and if you have not read it already, I highly recomend Druids by her.

Are you aware that there is an excellent film of "The Name of the Rose" starring Sean Connery? Made in 1986, it is well worth watching after you have read the book.

This will b my first post,so hi to everybody

I am reading La Dame Aux Camelias by Alexandre Dumas-Fils
Quite interesting book

i recently finished "The Curious Incident with the Dog in the Night-time" it's a long title but reflects the nature of the book. A really interesting read.

The writer writes from the point of view of a young boy with Asperger's syndrome (he's autistic). the boy's being a detective and trying to figure out who killed the neighbour's dog and you can see how chaotic his family life is as a result of his condtion. It's really well-written.

1.Water For Elephants Sara Gruen
2. I saw it in a store and it sounded interesting
3. Only three people were left under the red and white awning of the grease joint: Grady, me, and the fry cook.
4. So far it is really interesting, and I am very much enjoying it, and cannot wait to see what will happen next.
