Comments on: Fiction http://www.andnoplacetogo.com/index.php/2010/02/08/fiction/ Putting much too fine a point on it since 1976 Tue, 17 Jan 2012 23:26:33 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Marie Green http://www.andnoplacetogo.com/index.php/2010/02/08/fiction/comment-page-1/#comment-14672 Marie Green Wed, 10 Feb 2010 04:57:48 +0000 http://www.andnoplacetogo.com/?p=1144#comment-14672 Like every one else in our nation, I recently read The Help and loved it. I'm also reading That Old Cape Magic by Richard Russo. I'm not far enough into it to recommend it, but I really REALLY loved his book Empire Falls. Oh, and I recently read "Notes from the Underwire" by Quinn Cummings, and I fell instantly in love with her and now read her blog. And follow her on twitter. You know, basic stalker behavior.

I've read or listened to every one of his books. Can't wait for the new one to come out! Have you listened to You Suck? If not, it's a must. But don't read it, listen. OK I love Christopher Moore!

The one book I splurged and bought so far is "Outlander" by Diana Gabaldon. If you haven't ever tried that series, I really recommend it. It's historical fiction, a tinge of romance, a tinge of sci-fi-ish, and some great characters and character development. But, since I mention them to everybody who asks for book recommendations, I may have recommended those to you before.

I like it a lot, but I'm not compelled by it. As in, I haven't read it for a few days and I'm not dying to pick it back up. I’m reading Zeitoun by Dave Eggers.

And I'm re-reading A Prayer for Owen Meany, because John Irving's newest book sucked so bad. I’m listening to Juliet, Naked on cd, which I’m loving.

Also I just read World Without End which I really enjoyed but I love me a huge, long historical fiction novel. The Art of Racing in the Rain was so good (told from the dog’s perspective).
