I just bought Fragile Things by Neil Gaiman - it's going to be my next read once I finish Shantaram."We have to change the concept of patriotism to one of “matriotism” — love of humanity that transcends war. A matriarch would never send her own children off to wars that kill other people’s children." Cindy Sheehan

seriously, though, sounds pretty unique and interesting.

Wow! That's a glowing review! I haven't read Dracula by Bram Stoker but I have it in my pile to read. I just started it yesterday and am only 16 pages in."We're fixed good, lamp-wise."0 -

I liked the story and the writing. It's really vividly written, and the characters are well-drawn.
I did find a big chunk in the middle a bit tedious though. If the story was a bit more tightened up the pace could have been a lot stronger. But that's just my opinion.
Hope you enjoy it!"We have to change the concept of patriotism to one of “matriotism” — love of humanity that transcends war. A matriarch would never send her own children off to wars that kill other people’s children." Cindy Sheehan

Anyone read David Sedaris books? I haven't, but I'm on the verge. I hear it's totally laugh riot stuff, and it's good to have a healthy laugh every so oftenThere is no such thing as leftover pizza. There is now pizza and later pizza. - anonymous
