Weave Posted September 9, 2008 Author Posted September 9, 2008 I enjoyed your review Gyre, I read Old Man and the Sea quite a number of years ago and it has always remained a sentimental favourite of mine. Thanks Shelbel:friends0: I finished 'The Outer Dark' by Cormac McCarthy, which was really good, a very different book, the two main characters were brilliant Quote
Weave Posted September 14, 2008 Author Posted September 14, 2008 I finished 'The Picture of Dorian Gray' by Oscar Wilde. I enjoyed it but it took me awhile to get into the story but once I did, I found it very engrossing and very witty. Quote

supergran71 Posted September 18, 2008 Posted September 18, 2008 I remember my dad recommending Dennis Wheatley books to me when I was young. The only one I remember actually reading was "The Devil Rides Out" and it frightened the life out of me:blush: Quote

Weave Posted September 23, 2008 Author Posted September 23, 2008 I finished 'The Night of the Hunter' by Davis Grubb. I have always loved the movie and the book is even better, Harry Powell is still as terrifying in print. Quote

Weave Posted October 14, 2008 Author Posted October 14, 2008 I feel weird keeping this up to date. I finished 'Fahrenheit 451' by Ray Bradbury and I really enjoyed it, a classic book, if you get the chance, read it Quote
Janet Posted October 14, 2008 Posted October 14, 2008 I feel weird keeping this up to date. There is no right or wrong way to deal with grief. I'm sure I'd probably keep mine going in similar circumstances just because it's some sort of normality, no matter how small. The important thing is that you're doing it because you want to, and because it helps. xxx Quote
Weave Posted October 18, 2008 Author Posted October 18, 2008 I finished 'Living Dead in Dallas', the 2nd Stookie Stackhouse Vampire Mystery in the series by Charlaine Harris. I really enjoyed it, an easy read, good story, what more can you say ask for? Quote
