He is definitely one of my favorite writers and yet, never ceases to astound me.
-
Please share your top three, or even 5!
Lol they aren't sci fi: Gone With the Wind, For Whom the Bell Tolls/ The Good Earth and A Scanner Darkly
I've read a lot of Dick's canon though, I like his short stories too. I'm still not sure what I read when I read Flow My Tears, The Policeman Said lol
-
A Scanner Darkly is my third favorite book.
-
Someone I knew you'd post GWtW
.You know me too well
-
Gone With the Wind! It's my favorite book and I seem to read it once a year
-
Karsa! Long time, no see! Miss you on here
-
Have him look up Phillip K Dick
Edit: he'll never be the same

Chaliepud- That's beautiful and comforting. I heard a story about a man who died and his dog was waiting for him. He had a choice of where to spend eternity, one place was a gorgeous house, wide green lawn, flowers, who thing- but his dog could not live there. The man turned it down because he couldn't live without his dog. Then he came to a shabby house with a bare yard, but he could live with his dog. He picked that place and it became beautiful, for he had proved what kind of person he was.

He was a Kerry Blue Terrier. I'm such a mess.Sorry to hear about your dog too, Anna. May I ask what breed he was?
I have had a good reading month so far. I have read 5 books with only one 1 star rating. Which is actually above average for me.
My favourite so far has been A Study In Scarlet.
I'm going to try to read today, although I've been crying a lot and it's hard to focus. I tried starting The Cold Dish (The Walt Longmire Mysteries), but I'm also trying to read Leave Me by Gayle Forman.

He passed away tonight at 20:10. Thank you for all your nice thoughts.
-
Oh no, so sorry to hear that.
My lab has just had a lump removed, which thankfully turned out to be harmless, so I can understand the worry and stress. What is the prognosis.....are there treatment options available?In book news, I am two thirds through The Last Letter From Your Lover by Jojo Moyes. Then it's back to David Copperfield.
I'm so glad everything turned out alright- what a relief! They give us so much and just want love.
-
Thank you everyone, I didn't mean to take up the reading thread. Prognosis is not good, he is 12 and not much can be done. They gave him a week on Monday, but he's still with us. We're hoping he'll be with us for some Thanksgiving dinner
-
I was enjoying Leave Me by Gayle Foreman, but I found out my dog- soul mate- has cancer and I've been too upset to continue. It's been quite the week.
-
The ones I could come up with:
Scarlett O'Hara. I've never read a character go through such evolution.
June and Day from the Legend Trilogy.
Robert and Maria from For Whom the Bell Tolls by Hemingway
Bob Arctor from A Scanner Darkly by Phillip K Dick
and
Howard Roarc from Ayn Rand's The Fountainhead, but I liked Atlas Shrugged more.
-
That HOI comic book was a lucky find!
-
I'm glad you liked it!
Now just waiting for the cataloguing...
-
It certainly wasn't the definition I was expecting, and it didn't make total sense to me word wise if that makes sense, but maybe it's an 'American thing'!
Yes, we have them here... I believe their name is because of the sound they make.
I didn't finish The Paper Magician, it ended up being terrible. I abandoned it and started Leave Me by Gayle Foreman.
-
The Dressmaker, very odd but very enjoyable. Liam Hemsworth and a Cattle Dog helped greatly!
He usually helps me like a movie
-
V For Vendetta by Alan Moore
-
Something Wicked This Way Comes- Ray Bradbury
-
Have you read Behind the Beautiful Forevers by Katherine Boo? If you haven't, you might be interested, it's very good.
-
Finally, FINALLY, the new Jack Reacher book will be out tomorrow, November 7th!
-
I've never even heard of that book, sorry!
I have a Samsung Galaxy Grand Prime
It's okay but it's not great. I didn't realise, buying it, that 200 euro no longer gets you a vaguely decent phone. It was okay for reading on, but I did have the font very small. I have my new tablet now, so reading on that (when I do read, still slacking on that front!)Thanks! In the end, we went with Google's new Pixel phone. I'm having so much fun... remember, I've only had flip phones
