There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."
I read Attachments last week. Frothier and sweet. Very much a romance without the angst at all. Lovely characters, but a bit unrealistic. And it felt like she sort of wrote herself into a corner and the ending was a bit klunky.
Actually endings may be an issue for her.
Hmmm. Maybe I'll go with Fangirl instead.
Ben is desperate for me to read Paper Towns next, though. And I want to get everything A.S. King has ever written out of the library now.
ctually endings may be an issue for her.
Yeah, I felt like the ending of Fangirl was a bit abrupt too. I enjoyed it, but not as much as Eleanor and Park (so I'm kinda glad I read it first, so I wasn't having high expectations!)
Amy, I think I have Sunshine somewhere.
My Mom is recovering nicely from her concussion, though not yet completely over it. Last year she was a hit at her local readers theater with her reading of Poe's "The Bells". She says there is no way to top that. It would be a great present for her to prove her wrong. I would be really grateful for suggestions.
[Edited to make sense. Also this is for Halloween]
Note: does not have to be famous, just good, melodramatic and over the top.
How about "Lepanto" ... can't remember the author. Great rhythm to the words and good rhymes.
Edit: hah! should have known it was G.K. Chesterton! Text is here.
The first things that come to mind from "melodramatic and over the top" are "The Highwayman" and "Casey at the Bat."
Typo, the missing"a"in your second sentence gave me severe pause.
Oh, that makes that sentence make so much more sense.
