Goddammit.
This is neither here nor there, but sometimes I really goddamn hate people.
(deep sigh)
Anyway. Thank you guys for being awesome, and thank god/creation/whatever for books, so I can lose myself in them.

Horror movie recommendation!
Okay, it's not a book, but I just watched this last night, and if you're in the mood for a different sort of horror movie for Halloween - something more psychological than slasher - I think you'll enjoy Session 9.

[REBLOG] 12 literary giants on twitter! What if you followed Shakespeare, Virginia Woolf and Mark Twain?
Check out this post for more awesomeness: http://undomielle.booklikes.com/post/653641/12-literary-giants-on-twitter-what-if-you-followed-shakespeare-virginia-woolf-and-mark-twain-
Empty is empty and by empty I mean shitty.
Yet another example of "promising premise, shoddy execution".
Examples of the writing in this book:
"he was a football player, not a thinker"
"she felt a fireball of happiness"
If that seems like good writing to you, by all means, go for it. Otherwise, move along.

Stilted characters/dialogue
I'm starting to wonder if English is the author's first language, or if she just writes in a stilted, awkward manner.
My parents were thieves!
This is neither here nor there, but I'm reading about people siphoning gas and I'm reminded of how my parents, when they were teens, siphoned gas from a church parking lot, because, and I'm quoting them both, "Fuck 'em!"
They also liked to dine and dash, get high, and once, during the gas shortage of the 70s, bought a fuckload of donuts and coffee and went up and down the lines of parked cars selling them to get money for bellbottoms or coke or Led Zeppelin albums or whatever.
