Momo Posted January 20, 2009 Report Share Posted January 20, 2009 They are nothing like as bad as yours, Momo, and (if I wasn't retired) they wouldn't keep me off work. But they do come in runs of 3-5 mornings in a row, and interfere with my focus (eyesight & concentration). Anyway, even if you don't get them as often, I wish you all the best.It was good to see a pageful of Momo posts when I just logged in!Thank you.

Hazel Posted January 22, 2009 Report Share Posted January 22, 2009 I started Bright Shiny Morning by James Frey last night. It's too early to say what I make of it, but I am glad he has stuck to the same writing style as in his 'memoirs'. And no, I don't mean lying, I mean, lack of punctuation and short, snappy sentences all on their lonesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leyla Posted January 26, 2009 Report Share Posted January 26, 2009 Finished James Frey's BSM yesterday - review to follow. Started and finished Helen Garner's The Spare Room today. Powerful and immaculately written short novel. Starting Paul Auster's Collected Novels later tonight. Why do I take on these huge hard-backed tomes? Should have just bought the New York Trilogy on its own. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Calcifer Posted January 28, 2009 Report Share Posted January 28, 2009 Continuing my vampire theme - Bram Stoker's Dracula.... Amazing reading! Stoker is able to free a gothic novel from its schemes, putting it between the Masterpieces of the Human Literature... Dracula is full of profound meanings! I hope you'll enjoy it! If you like vampire stories, you could read even the short story "Carmilla" by Le Fanu. It's one the main inspirer sources of vampires stories.
