I have it and I've read it (and loved it)- just letting everyone know about the good deal.
...well, so much for my salesmanship...
What I haven't read is Owen's short story collection. I ordered a special edition from Cemetery a long time ago and it still hasn't been to the printer yet. They probably have to wait for a certain number of sales before they go ahead with it.
I'm bringing my copies of Owen's books with me to Missoula in the hopes that I'll run into him somehow, someway.....
Thanks, Joe. Just ordered!
...I still want Marsha to sign a book of mine...she's a good friend and would be priceless to me....
...you'll be glad you spent the nickel...
It's very different from dad but it's very good. It's quite funny.
I read his book of short stories years ago, and I remember thinking they had good characters and writing, but didn't seem to go anywhere or actually tell a "good story." Hard to explain. Anyway, I know a lot of members here liked Double Feature, and for $2.99, can't go wrong.
I agree with that. Owen's writing is good, but the stories were just sort of "so whats" for me. The one I did like was about a dentist in the woods.
I am reading no game no life #6 ..no new mangas :-(. I will haft to go lurking around the library and find something new. Our hope the books come in. I am listing to Mr. Mercedes
That's so funny, because that's the only one I remember! Have you read Double Feature? The UPS man just delivered Sleeping Beauties, so I'll try Owen out there first.
I have Double Feature to read -- still sitting unopened on the pile. I'm waiting for my Sleeping Beauties.
She doesn't know it but I have a stack of books I would like her to sign- two copies of Wizard & Glass as it's dedicated to her and two copies of The Secretary Of Dreams for the same reason.
SHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! They don't know about this!!Use Joe as bait.
I haven’t seen the movie so I can’t compare!
100 pages into Sleeping Beauties now. So far, so good. Was a little slow at first but now I don’t want to put it down. At times I’ve been able to differentiate between Steve and Owen’s writing—a word or phrase makes me say “Oh, that’s totally Steve,” etc.... I love both their styles, though they do bring different flavors to the table.
And I want GNTL to sign one for me. One of those old stale Patch Pockets paperbacks, you know the ones. That'd get a special spot on the shelf.
