The Keep by F. Paul Wilson. I think all his books are great.

He felt that his whole life was some kind of dream and he sometimes wondered whose it was and whether they were enjoying it. Douglas Adams, "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" |

QUOTE (TOMBOY @ Sep 1 2005, 03:24 PM) Two Harlan Cobens and one Joseph Heller. Ah, sounds like a dream date to me.... Speaking of which, reading catch 22...or should I say just finished it. (Did you know he wanted to call it Catch 18, but since Leon Uris put out Mila 18 at the same time, he couldn't use the number 18 as well, so he called it Catch 22 instead....so the phrase would have been catch 18 then.) Also reading Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man. and Holy Days (Lis Harris) and a bunch of text books for fun on the side. (Also recently read Harlan Cobens new book...pleasant read, though not all that much substance or weight to it...good for a plane ride though) -------------------- "Mens Sana in Corpore Sano" (Juvenal)

Yes, I am reading the Vintage Publishing edition with the BBC's Big Read Top 100 intro, full of his self-praise. Took him about a decade to complete a set of paradoxes, and gloatin'. I liked his 'God Knows', funny and crude. Coben is a recent hit in Israel, and I'm reading the translated version, 'הנעלמים' for practice. Apparently, he is Jewish, too, and that just shot his rating here skywards. -------------------- |

That fact I picked up watching who wants to be a millionaire a few weeks ago...which then reminded me that I wanted to read the book, and thus got me to read it. -------------------- "Mens Sana in Corpore Sano" (Juvenal)

I just finished reading Lovely Bones. It was pretty good, but you have to be attentive to follow each story line.
-------------------- me (saying goodbye to my niece and nephew): Bye monkeys!
Nephew: Your hair looks like a banana. (after taking money out of a bank machine) nephew: Cool!! Can you do that again and give it to me? Me: I dunno, I'll discuss it with Zaidy and get back to you. |
