Has anybody read Daphne Du Maurier's short stories?
Yes, I read the original
Don't Look Now
collection for my classic horror book salon. I really only liked "Don't Look Now" and "A Border-Line Case." The other three stories were a bit of a bore. However, that new edition has a few more stories, including "The Birds," which I've read elsewhere and liked.
Okay, but have you read this cult classic about the Opera?
Man, I just love scrolling through the NYRB Classics catalog.
And, not on the NYRB list, but one of my all-time favorite comic novels and somehow little known: My Search for Warren Harding by Robert Plunket.
See the customer reviews.
Okay, but have you read this cult classic about the Opera?
No, but that reminds me that I need to order my opera tickets for this fall.
Okay, I love the internet: Hot Guys Reading Books.
Oh I love teh interwebs. I've been trying to remember a book that scared the crap out of me as a kid and finally found it: "The Elementals" by Michael McDowell (who also wrote "The Amulet"). I loved those spooky trade paperbacks. Anyone else read it?

Heee! I just spent a pleasant few minutes scrolling back a few months. This entry in particular made me smile THHHHHIISS WIDE: [link]
Okay, that tumblr weirds me out. Because there are people taking pictures of strangers and submitting them, and that's odd.
Not that they're all, but some.
and that's odd.
How is that odd? There's a long tradition of street photography. Nobody's running around getting releases signed by everybody they shoot on the street.
