Never read her. But I'm intrigued because I am a big Russell fan. She needs a new book yesterday.durdencommatyler wrote:Simple Torture wrote:Karen Russell is great.

I got to see her read from Swamplandia! at a reading series hosted by a bar around the corner from me no too long ago. She was awesome.

Haven't felt like reading anything terribly serious lately and in the past few months have polished off the entire Jack Reacher series and Jane Hawk series of books

I've found them to be engaging. They're not at all deep - it is Dean Koontz after all, but yeah - I've enjoyed them. Finished off the last one this morning, now I have to wait till the day after my birthday before I can read the conclusiondurdencommatyler wrote:How's the Jane Hawk?

I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

I finished the 2nd section of 2666 (probably my least favorite of the 5) so I'm onto this (that is, The Dead Mountaineers' Inn) now. Only read the Introduction last night and I'm excited.durdencommatyler wrote:Simple Torture wrote:Actually, don't bother: I saw "science fiction detective novel" on Wikipedia and I am in.

Been reading Good Omens: The Nice and Accurate Prophecies of Agnes Nutter, Witch with my son. It's such a great book. We should be finished with it by the time the series premieres, I think.

There was a line we read last night that made me laugh. Something about going to the river with your girl to spoon and if you were lucky you'd get to fork.
