'Never Leave Me'
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."
would have been different had the south won the civil war. Now I want to read a story that takes place in that world... maybe I'll have to write it myself
Isn't there a movie with that premise? I want to say The Confederate States of America ? Maybe?
This movie looks very interesting. Not exactly what I was looking for but I'm gonna have to check it out. I'm going to look up Turtledove too. Thanks, guys.
I know I read a short story that had, no, the North still won but won faster so the US wasn't so war-weary after and entered WWI earlier. And then there was time-travel. Good story, I wish I could remember the title.
The movie's a bit silly, but not terrible.
I'm going to Borders after work to buy Midnight's Children, but in order to use a coupon, I need to buy something else. Quick, recommend me books worth owning that I should read.
P-C, have you read The Namesake? I read it for book club and finished it last night. It's about an Indian-American family.
I loved the movie and have wanted to read the book. It was one of the ones I was thinking of getting. Seems as good a choice as any! Thanks.
P-C - it's probably too late, but (staying with the area, but not the period, necessarily) The God of Small Things Arundati Roy; A Fine Balance Rohinton Mistry, A River Sutra, Gita Mehta.
Also Haroun and the Sea of Stories, also by Rushdie
There are so many Indian authors! I'll have nothing left to write about!
The movie's a bit silly, but not terrible.
Oh, I thought it was completely terrible. One of the laziest and sloppiest pieces of filmmaking I've ever seen.
