I went back and it was still there - yay! Will start it after I finish Hag-Seed.I enjoyed it. It's written from various POV including the shooter and really pulled me into the events as they were happening. If you get it,let me know what you think.
Finished Daisy Fay and the Miracle Man by Fannie Flagg. LOVED it - didn't want the book to end! Could've kept reading about the title character forever.
About halfway through Hag-Seed by Atwood and am enjoying it much more than I thought I would.
Do you mean that our Nottie reminds you of a parrot??So happy you liked Daisy Fay. I always pick her up when I need a laugh. Another book that made me laugh was T.C.Boyle's The Road to Wellville. I thought it was total fiction, but it's loosely based on the real story of the Kellogg brothers. I read it pre-internet. I should look up the story on it and see how much was real.
not_nadine I read a story last night that made me think of you. It's called The Great Silence by Ted Chiang - it's in one of the short story collections I'm reading. It's narrated by a parrot!
I read about 40 pages of Innocence and set it aside. It just wasn't grabbing me.I finished the magical "Graveyard Book" by Gaiman yesterday.
Amazing story, could class it as young adult or teen possibly, it's like a grown up fairy tale.
Getting a real Gaiman buzz of late, Ocean at the End of the lane was one of the best books I have read in years, followed by Norse Mythology and then this.
I finally managed to start "Innocence" by Koontz.
I remember mentioning it on here aaaaages ago and a few people said it was pretty good.
Only just started, but so far, so good
Thats my usual reaction to Koontz..... There have been a few exceptions though.I read about 40 pages of Innocence and set it aside. It just wasn't grabbing me.
I love Atwood and in fact I'm reading Alias Grace right now. I've read about 3/4 of her novels. I am hesitating to read Hagseed as I have never read or seen a production of Shakespeare's The Tempest, of which Hagseed is a retelling (for those who are not familiar with the book). That said, may I ask if you think it necessary to be familiar with Shakespeare's play to fully enjoy the book? Thanks.Finished Daisy Fay and the Miracle Man by Fannie Flagg.

Is this a sequel to Revival?Currently reading two new releases: We Are the Ants & Things We Lost in the Fire. Both are really good.
