Creek Walk and Other Stories
5 journalers for this copy...
This is a book of short stories that I think was written by an insane woman. It will be interesting to find out what other people think. I'll be passing this on to a friend then taking it to the next book meetup.
I found this book to be rather interesting. It seems to be written from the everyday perspective that not many authors delve into. It made me realize that there are others that see some things from the same perspective as I do. I have to admit though, there are a few stories that were either creepy or weird. I guess you have to take the bad with the good!

It came as no surpise to me to read that that the author teaches creative writing. I thought that these stories had some good aspects but the overall feel was that they were very pretentiously "creative". There was also a pervasive bitterness that I found wearing. Interesting but nothing new.
Journal Entry 5 by Viridian at -- Controlled Release in Toronto, Ontario Canada on Tuesday, August 12, 2003
Released on Tuesday, August 12, 2003 at Bookcrossing Meetup in Toronto, Ontario Canada.
I picked this up at the August Bookcrossing Meetup and am just now getting to it. So far the short stories have proven to be thought provoking enough to keep me reading, but light enough to read just before going to sleep.
Well, I've finished the book and found the stories entertaining, though somewhat contrived. Some of the characters were difficult to believe, but all-around a decent read. I liked that it didn't take too much out of me to read a story here or there, almost like bubble gum for the brain.
I'll be releasing this this afternoon, but haven't decided yet where...

I left this book on the Bookcrossing Zone shelves. It is the only book there right now. Currently orientation/back to school festivities are going on, so I hope someone comes along to snatch up this book!

I found it at the University of Toronto. Maybe I will bring it back there . But maybe I will bring it to Berlin/Germany, where I come from and will go back in some time.(I am in Toronto as an Exchange Studnet.) Then the book can travel with me over the ocean!
