I'm reading War and Peace. I got it at a Barnes & Noble with a gift card I'd been given. I remember agonizing over which version to buy. It's actually pretty good. I had a hard time getting into it, and it had langui…

In the thrift store in Glenwood Springs, Colorado, USA. I was thrilled! It was a YA book and pretty good. Can't remember what it was called. I re-released it. None of my releases have ever been found. I went lookin…

It's a pretty intense book. I liked it a lot, but every tragic thing that can happen, does. Prepare yourself. Some people were overwhelmed by Slumdog Millionaire...multiply that by 100! I also liked the Adrian Mole D…

I didn't expect to like it at all. It's about an old Indian rodeo rider who teaches a newbie the ropes. Cowboys? The West? Un-uh. But I loved it.

by Wally Lamb. The jury is still out. I live in Colorado, so the Columbine theme is interesting to me ten years later. But the characters aren't very likeable. Typical Lamb tragedy and disfunction at every turn. But…

by Dennis Lehane. It's okay. Kind of dragging in the middle. Maybe it's because I've been so tired every night that I only read a few pages and so it's feeling kind of disjointed.
