Ceinwenn Posted May 31, 2009 Posted May 31, 2009 Rcee, are you reading what I think you're reading? Had I looked at your post a little closer I would have seen that yes, you are reading what I think you're reading. What are you thinking of it? Quote

Ceinwenn Posted May 31, 2009 Posted May 31, 2009 *Shakespearean Student Mode On* please do share author and title? It's The Shakespeare Secret by J.L. Carrell. There's a thread about it on here, as a few of us have read it. Quote
BookJumper Posted May 31, 2009 Posted May 31, 2009 It is Palimpsest - Catherynne M. Valente....its divine fantasy, I love it! I've nearly finished it and want to re-read it again but will leave it a while before I do I think. I'ts taken me a while to get through it because its seems to be a book to savour and makes you want to re-read parts before carrying on because it is so enjoyable to read such strange things. Link to my thread which I have written a description from back of bookThis intrigues me and worries me in equal measure - I love divine fantasy, but the lyricism (which I also love) being described as "erotic" on the blurb makes me fear I might encounter problems with some sections... what to do? Well of Lost Plots, right?Indeed. It's taking me quite a bit to read as I like to give the weird and wonderful world of Jasper my undivided attention, something I haven't got that much of at the moment. Great read so far though, although I'm not sure I'll like it more than "Lost in a Good Book" (my favourite so far, though "Something Rotten" - next up - looks like a serious contender). It's The Shakespeare Secret by J.L. Carrell. There's a thread about it on here, as a few of us have read it. Actually read about 100 pages of that before having to return it to its owner. I rather enjoyed what I read I must say, I'll probably pick it up again at some point. Quote

Nollaig Posted May 31, 2009 Posted May 31, 2009 It's The Shakespeare Secret by J.L. Carrell. There's a thread about it on here, as a few of us have read it. Awesome book. Quote
RCee Posted May 31, 2009 Posted May 31, 2009 Rcee, are you reading what I think you're reading? Had I looked at your post a little closer I would have seen that yes, you are reading what I think you're reading. What are you thinking of it? I wish I could say I liked it but I think it wasn't for me really. I loved the mystery behind it but I think there just wasn't enough about the characters, too little development for me (which you did warn me about). *Shakespearean Student Mode On* please do share author and title? Ceinwenn beat me to the answer!! Right now I am a homicide detective listening to a recoded phone call where the killer of a girl has colled in to say he is the murderer. Quote

Kell Posted June 1, 2009 Posted June 1, 2009 Paperplane - is that No Country For Old Men, by any chance? And if so, is it any better than the film? (We turned it off after about 20 minutes as we were so bored already!) Quote
paperplane Posted June 1, 2009 Posted June 1, 2009 ^^ It is Kell, I have seen the film but can't remember much of it as it was a while ago now. I have to admit I'm struggling to get through it though I am having a bit of a break from reading at the moment. Quote
