What Are You Reading?

I didn't know the new movie was going to come from Porno! I thought it might be from The Blade Artist, if it wasn't something totally different from either. Wow, that will be difficult to film! I know they managed with Filth, but...YIKES. Definitely will have similar problems with American distribution. I live in a weird, weird country, my friend. Blow up whatever you'd like, kill indiscriminately, but WHOA! Watch that sexual content! And drugs are bad--make sure you have lots of death (particularly bloody, horrific death) if drugs are involved!

Wouldn't surprise me if the book cover was different over there.

It felt like an hour and half version of the Smack My Bitch Up video, not a bad thing IMO.

It was a CRAZY movie! I can't imagine anyone better than McAvoy for the part. He's fearless as a actor, and you need that to take a part like this and sell it. That was such a great year for him, too: Filth, Trance, and Welcome to the Punch all came out then, and all were different kinds of fascinating He's one of my absolute favorites. Even in a snorer like The Conspirator, he stands out.

I've just finished Fight Club. I wonder, if I hadn't seen the film, at what point I would have realised it was about a

. If anyone else has read it I can recommend Irvine Welsh's Filth, it's quite similar.

To answer the question about Fight Club, not till the very end do you find out the twist in the film.

I meant, if I hadn't seen the film. What point I would have realised while reading the book.

I don't suppose you saw him in the UK's version of Shameless?

I can't answer that as I have not read the book.

There's far too much talking about Fight Club going on for my liking KRF

I have!

Good premise, meh execution.

I agree. Also, I ended up feeling sorry for the characters and not the least bit scared.

I finished reading Gaiman's The Graveyard Book. I liked it. It was a sweet story Sweet is probably not the right word to describe it lol but it made me smile

I was hoping The Graveyard Book would take a longer time to read. Now I need to find another light read to fill the time until End of Watch and the third Passages book are released.

Just finished Full Dark No Stars and about to jump into Dark Tower 4.5...

That's great! The Wind Through the Keyhole was actually the first book I read about the Dark Tower (believe it or not)

REALLY?

Actually, it was my master teacher in highschool who told me that sleeping is the best cure for headache because she always caugh a headache and all she did in her break after a small eat was she always asleep, even my professors and my master architects and engineers, damn, if i ever met a person who never caugh a headache in their life, then i'm going to praise him/her like god.

You are so sweet - Salamat!

 

[Neesy]

REALLY? Did they once caught a headache? If no then i would give them one. One that they will never ever forget

See my post above - somehow I forgot to quote this part of your post!

Another light read? Under the Dome? The Stand?
(you could burn through either one by June I am sure!)

Maybe I'll just reread Joyland

The Mother (Yvette Edwards). I liked her first book, and I like this one as well. She's very accomplished, though her stories are not light and fluffy.

Now reading Laura Lippman's After I'm Gone.

It is slow going, but I blame the post-really-great-book curse. I have a hard time with whatever I read immediately following a five-star story.
