I still need to read Bet Me. Tell Me Lies I liked less than Welcome, Faking and Fast Women, but more than Crazy.

We're Literary 2: To Read Makes Our Speaking English Good
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'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Interesting, since I bought Crazy for You in Waldenbooks, in Romance, and they have several others of hers there.
Yeah, it varies from store to store. Last time I went looking, they were in one place at B&N and another at Borders.

I hate the way the"Da Vinci Code" guy writes. His people aren't people...just action figures. Yecch.(And I might be jealous, too.) Faking It is my favorite Crusie.

Flames wouldn't be eternal if they actually consumed anything.
Anyone read Strange Bedpersons? I read that after Crazy For You, and was less happy with it. I know she had publisher issues with it, so maybe that's why, but it seemed a little... forced, maybe, in parts? Although overall still a good read.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Those are the only Crusie I've read.
There will be more -- do I not need to send you Faking It, then?
erikaj, I hated what he wrote, and how he wrote it. Piker.

Herding cats for fun
During an epileptic seizure while visiting her ancestral home, sixteen-year-old Katie is transported back in time and mistaken for her great-great-great grandmother who also had epilepsy at a time when the disease was greatly misunderstood.
Oh yay, I'm the first back with the answer about AmyLiz's book: Why Have The Birds Stopped Singing by Zoa Sherburne.
I recall she wrote some cool books. Better go rummage through what Amazon says.
Edit: I feel as though I should really like reading Annie Dillard, but my attention keeps wandering off track with her.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Um, I was going to be rereading it.

I had that feeling too, the whole time I was reading it! I kept thinking, "Don't they have family that would wonder where they are? Or, friends, even? A cat? Anything?"

She's all yours.
Me, I'm currently reading Snow Crash and Abide With Me. So far, pretty dissimilar. I expect this trend to continue.

Wrod, ita. I fricking hate reading a best-seller and thinking "I can do better." So I went to Amazon and told them I would avoid his books like there's anthrax in the covers. Bitchy and satisfying.
